Went to cheaperthandirt.com to replenish some supplies, and was
shocked to see that 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 now costs $499. WTF? There
is no anti-gun legislation that was adopted yet, it can still be
imported, etc, why such a crazy price? That stuff used to cost under
$100 for a thousand, if I remember right.

Brass reloads are illegal from the gov't now. *Every single shot is
reclaimed, shredded and then melted down rather than refurbished. *They
don't allow re-selling of spent shells any longer until they've been
decommissioned.

Since most ammo out there is in refurbished shells, the price has gone
through the roof as supplies of new shells are very much in demand.

...so say the rumor mills.

The rumor mill is wrong.

The ammo "shortage" is manufacturer made.

Just like the oil "shortage" was.
