An explanation of the Supply Chain economics re: Ammo
Dell Computers was one of the founders of the modern version of JIT (Just in Time) supply chain, i.e. you don't make anything until it's needed or else you calculate how much is needed and replacement items arrive at the sellers "Just In Time". Of course this is great if you don't want to have inventory sitting around. Modern Commercial goliaths like Home Depot, Anheuser Busch, and others have this 'create or order' product to hit the shelves JUST before it's needed' to a science.....
(unfortunately the guns industry doesn't work as well)..... This column is an interesting read..... Quote:

No, I'm kiding. I still don't like that his idea could come true though, it's a stupid one.

Ammo price shot up in the last couple of years because there are more and more new people owning firearms. Keep in mind that the US military owns its own ammo factory called Lake City (head stamped L C) and operate 24/7. The military does not get their ammo from civilians manufacturers. Quote:

There were many gun industry columnists or OP/EDs that opined that there would be a 'rush on guns' when Obama won the election, but the manufacturers didn't seem to get the message. I know it's hard to ramp up FABs but heck, I'd be cranking them out at a heart attack pace from last summer just like the Class III manufacturers did before the cut off date of the Hughes Amendment to the McClure/Volkmer Act of 1986 (I KNOW you all know that I'm referring to...) |

If some one will come up with a surefire method to use .22LR as a SD round, then we'll be all set.

Here, 9mm luger and .40 smith and wesson and 44 mag are the most availible, 44 costs a lot though, that may be the reason. 9 is chaep and plentiful, and 40 is okay. Cant find 45 though.
