Rare is one thing.
Endangered would be another thing.
Expensive would be a third.
Right now ammo is rare, and likely more expensive than when last I saw it well-stocked.
Right now Obama, et al., are plotting to make ammo endangered, which is a different thing from rare altogether.
Should he not succeed in endangering ammo, the shortage will likely cease of its own volition after a while, and we all will say, “Gee, ammo sure is more expensive now than it was before the shortage.” Because the ammo makers know that a large part of the governing force of the US is trying to make ammo endangered.
Look for good buys on ammo at estate sales in about 10 years or so, should that still be a legal way to sell and buy ammo.
That’s not real. If they actually HAD all that ammo, it would be too valuable to leave lying around in glass display cases. No, I believe those are just boxes, and if they had any cartridges on display, dummy rounds, for sure. It’s sort of like how the crown jewels that are on display are fakes, and the real ones stay locked up in the vault.
I just bought some Federal Fusion 95-gr for my .243 WIN (this is a match-accurate load in my Winchester M70) and also some Sellier & Beloit .303 British in a 150-gr SP.
The Fusion was $24.50/box and the S&B was $16.50/box. That price for the S&B is actually a decent price for any centerfire hunting ammo these days. The price for the Fusion is about average, I think.
J&G sales handled the order promptly, and got it to me in 12 days after I posted my Internet order.

Just for display purposes, though.

He photoshopped those. We all know that those breeds are extinct.
