    Damn sure wasn't me

    That's a ton of ammo. Which leads to the question: What weighs more - a ton of ammo or a ton of feathers?

    Are the feathers still on the birds?

    With our new gun Caucus maybe the price of ammo will go down, and things like Chinese ammo import bans will go away. Lets do our part to make that 35 Tones!!!!!!
    I need another 30 cal can filled to the top with loose .22. Also need some cheep surplus 308, its been years since I "plinked" with my 1919.

    One of the companies listed is Privi. I bet most of that was 5.56 NATO - SS109 Excellent ammo for the price. All of the people that bought AR's... had to account for a large amount of this.

    I think that one of the things we need to keep in mind is that this is JUST the imported ammo alone. Just imagine how much domestic ammo was purchased in addition to the imports.

    What Justin said. Domestic ammo purchases I'm sure are way up there also!
