If you haven't seen this, from what I am reading Wolf and Tula sold out everywhere within hours of the announcement.

I've shot may hundreds of rounds of both Tula and Wolf without a single problem. Good cheap plinking ammo.

Russian factory garbage is as good as American factory garbage.

Quite disappointing move really. Our government has essentially decided that making a political statement against the Russian Federation is more important than taking actions to alleviate the ammo problem that has plagued our population for going on two years. We should be working on increasing foreign ammo and ammo component imports, not keeping them low or restricting them further.

All I know is, I'm glad to have enough supplies to load what I need for years to come smile

The Russian oil and gas deal was allowed though. It's a political statement, but not against Russia.

I use quite a bit of the 7.62x39 and 5.56 steel case. When you are shooting hogs from a chopper who cares what happens to the casing. You sure as hell don't want to throw brass away. Last night I ordered another 1000 rounds of Tulammo in a 123 gr HP. Went back later and the price was higher. This morning it was gone!! Same thing today at Academy. Bought some at $10.99 a box this morning. Later today it was $12.99 for the same thing.

You may not have shot it, but it removes supply when demand is already sky high, making the shortage worse. This was done solely to hurt American gun owners.

Any supply stream items like that, wolf 22, wolf primers, barnul primers etc for get about it..
makes it tighter for main stream items.

This world we live in is really in bad shape

Golden Tiger is about the best 7.62X39 you can get from any country. It's made to run in the AK platform which is Russian by the way...


Pass the gravy.

Biden making sure it all goes to Afghanistan. Yes, Russia produces .223/5.56mm also in big demand now.


One shot is all it should take.

I agree. We need some American companies to step up their production of garbage steel case ammo. American jobs.
cheers

Timing seems like it. I don't believe in coincidences.

The ones I have are made in Taiwan, I believe.

Garbage in what way? I got acceptable accuracy with most of it and it functioned reliably. It is nice sometimes to not have to search for cases in the dark.

All factory ammo is garbage, doesn't matter what country makes it.

And by garbage, I don't mean that it doesn't have acceptable accuracy for most purposes - as it certainly does. Most factory ammo is just fine for the purposes that the majority of people will use it for.

I simply mean it's like comparing a KIA (factory ammo) with an Aston Martin (precision hand loaded ammo made custom for a specific firearm). And once you have an your Aston Martin, everything else is garbage in comparison.

This shouldnt be surprising. Obama is why we dont see any Saigas or 5.45 ammo. Trump didnt do anything to help. Biden is just picking it up where left off. Sure wish I would have picked up a couple of Saigas when they were dirt cheap.

Yes, that's the key isn't it. Buy it before it becomes something everyone wants just because they believe everyone wants it too.

Aston Martin? Bad comparison...the Brits have proven to be horrible at automobile design and manufacturing.

SG Ammo estimates this is 40% of their business. He estimates that we import over 800,000,000 rounds of ammo from Russia.
This is going to impact the prices on 223, 9mm, 7.62x39 and others.
