In today's market, where can I get supplies

jartzh · May 5, 2009, 09:51 AM

My usual supplier is out of 357 bullets. Where I can I pickup 1000?

Dragon55 · May 5, 2009, 09:53 AM

Midway

Just like the rest of us... we're all in the same boat

jartzh · May 5, 2009, 09:56 AM

Midway is out. I thought you guys might have some secret sources.

jartzh · May 5, 2009, 10:02 AM

Does anybody have any idea about when they supply will catch up? Are we talking months or years?

check your local stores, you might get a pleasant surprise. I know of a couple stores in my part of Florida, who don't advertise that I can tell but that I've seen at local gunshows. They've had stuff at decent (for the times) prices when all of my usual online suppliers were out. From what I can tell there are still primers available at gunshows but you want to get there earlier than usual.

One local store (I won't go in there now) is charging $7 per 100 for primers, so he has 'em and as far as I'm concerned he can stick them somewhere dark and smelly!

Some walmarts, especially in rural areas I have found. Still, hit and miss.

What are you looking for? Cast, plated, jacketed? If you're looking for cast lead, try
www.reloadersauction.com

There's a few dealers selling in quantity jacketed on gunbroker.com as well. I picked up some 125gr. and 158 hp's cheap last month.

Find a store that allows back orders, and order what you want.

I back ordered a bunch of stuff, and it's slowly starting to trickle in!!

isnt it amazing how are guns are turned into expensive paperweights overnight without a single law being passed!I dont think its a coincidence that the govt decided to buy all the ammo up!

Inspector3711 · May 5, 2009, 01:01 PM

Actually it has been reported that the public is buying it all up. The factories are setting records for production of non military ammo.

bear300us · May 5, 2009, 01:23 PM

Dose anyone know who is taking backorders for primers??
