Why do ammo companies keep shipping them ammo, when they're constantly ripping folks a new one? Reckon they don't give a rip? Anyways, they have some Winchester 45 230 grain 100 rounds in stock for $159.99 damn dollars, while others have it for $76 and $85 currently, which is high, but damn it ain't $159 bucks!!! smh....

By looking at an online auction site it seems some people are finding a way to get ammo in bulk from the manufacturers. Don't know how, but they are getting this ammo before it makes it to other suppliers. Seems to me this may be a way they are trying to drive up the prices.

CTD has always done that. Back when Obama was elected the first time, they put up a page that read THIS IS THE LAST ONES!! GET THEM BEFORE THEY ARE GONE!!!!
Probably was the last of what they had in stock rolleyes
They were selling AR 15 kits,. Overnight they increased the price from $399.00 to $999.00
A buddy was bout to pay $1,600.00 yesterday for a Radical AR from them until I showed him the MSRP of $629.00 for the same gun and where to get one.
I refuse to even go to their website now ... much less buy anything from CTD

There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!

Thats exactly why I don't even look at CTD any more. I remember last time.

All this ammo pricing and shortage begs the question
Why does everyone wait until a Democrat takes office to decide you need ammo ?

Difference in need and wanting more...🙂

Because the overwhelming majority of Republicans aren’t threatening gun “control” at every turn, when they take office or gain majority vote. There’s no sense of urgency to stock up, because it is generally easily accessible.

Got a few answers kinda
I’ll give my own answer to my own question
Most people are reactive rather than proactive
They wait for something to happen then try to prepare for it
The solution to this problem is being proactive
This means you stock up before there’s a need and when something does happen there will be no need or want
