Childress Pledges Ammo to Ukraine

I took your advice and did some more googling. I found this:

If American-made is not FMJ, I have to wonder why they’re advertising it as such.

I don’t think the expense is really an issue. Even if Childress pays for it out-of-pocket - as opposed to the company paying for it - the cost for the rounds alone would be less that $1 million. If we add in permitting and transport costs (and I have no idea what those would be, but let’s triple it), it’s still a tiny fraction of Childress’ net worth.

Since Childress sits on the board of a company that makes ammunition, I don’t see why he would need to ‘score some from the Chinese’.

Did you READ your link?

1. Cost of rounds would BE 1 million. $20 a box of 20 round. 

2. It IS FMJ. First I have seen. Your point 


3. OUT OF STOCK.  as is most everything.

How many American gun shops have you been in this week?

1. I assumed the cost per round would go down due to the volume. Like this:

1000 rounds for $410.00 comes to .41/round. Two million rounds (the amount Childress wants to donate) would come to $820 000.00.

2. Thank you.

3. You do understand that they would be getting the ammo directly from a manufacturer and not from a gun shop, right? I mean, it’s not as if Elon Musk would be on the waiting list for a back-ordered Tesla.
