"War is not the issue. President clinton made sure surplus cannot be sold to the public anymore but destroyed. Check the price of copper next time. Our troops do not shoot wolf ammo."

War isnot an issuewith US troops. Surplus ammunition was not being sold in any large quantities even before the Klinton Bunch came into office. Then that silly Klinton demil rule came into being. Talon pulls the stuff apart at their demil facility, the powder is burned and then it is re-loaded and sold.

i managed the destruction of all unserviceable Army ammunition from the Gulf War.Weburned 200 million rounds of .50 caliber ammunition and smaller, including about 100 million rounds of 5.56mm. Most of this small arms ammunition was in original pack. It could have easily been sold. Instead theUS paid a premium price for its destruction. Then they shipped the empty cans home to the US.

Our troops do not shoot Wolf ammo. But the demand for Russian made ammo is at an all time high due to wars and rumors of wars. Yes, copper, and brass prices are very high. Got two five gallon buckets of brass that are going to the re-cycler soon. Maybe it will buy me a few boxes of good ammo.
