im not so sure the war using ammo is the problem. theres something going on with metal prices PERIOD right now. ALL ammo prices have nearly doubled in some cases...even the latest cabelas catalog says to call for prices to make sure they didnt go up. i think they just slowed up on making ammoright now because of prices/shortages...before they had ALOT of surplus ammo laying around and saleing it CHEAP.

and im not sure the military will shoot civilian ammo...im sure they WILL...but probably only in desperation(but not posative...). i know the military has alot of their own ammo...not sure who makes it etc...i always thought they made their own..i dont know
