Update on my update...

When I went to the FB Walmart yesterday, they had:
Quote:
27(!) 525rd bulks packs of Remington Golden Bullet .22LR 36gr HP (I counted 'em!)
38+/- 50rd boxes of Prvi Partizan 380 ACP 95gr FMJ
15+/- 50rd boxes of Prvi Partizan 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ
20 50rd boxes of Winchester 380 ACP 95gr FMJ
Just for giggles, I went back this morning to see what was left.

525rd bulk packs of .22LR Golden Bullets: Gone
50rd boxes of Prvi Partizan 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ: Gone

Here's where it gets interesting:

50rd boxes of Prvi Partizan 380 ACP 95gr FMJ: About 20 left
50rd boxes of Winchester 380 ACP 95gr FMJ: About 15 left

The lady who works the counter assured me that the .380 was still there from yesterday and was not another shipment. ALSO, they had received 10 50rd boxes of Federal 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ that morning, of which 7 boxes were left- well, then it became 6 boxes, because I bought one.

Is that a light I see at the end of the tunnel?

It either getting better or I am getting lucky. Stopped by Dick's yesterday and they had dozens and dozens 40 count boxes of American Eagle 22LR for $2.99 per box and several boxes of Hornady Critical Defense ammo in 38spl and 9mm for 24.99 a box. There was a 3 box limit so I grabbed one box each of 9mm, 38spl and 22LR. That put me over the $50 needed to cash in my $10 coupon so I was out the door tax included for $45.

Lots of primers and powder

Anyone near Lawrenceville, GA will want to pay a visit to Bullseye. I was there this afternoon and they had a good supply of primers, small and large pistol, standard and magnum as well as small and large rifle. brands included Winchester, CCI, Remington, Federal, and Tula-and a broad selection of powders-Alliant, Hodgdon, IMR, and Winchester...several selections from each manufacturer.

I'm currently with my family up in northern Minnesota and ammo still seems to be scarce. Checked out the local Walmart and they only had 2 boxes of match grade 22 ammo.

Here in Southeast Alaska stuff is still scarce. Primers are limited to 1 per person per day. Thankfully not too many people reload so there are still a couple 100ct packs on the shelf. .22 is gone and they are unsure when more will arrive. Even the spendy stuff like CCI Stingers are gone. .17 HMR is still around. .223 is getting easier to find, and 9mm is creeping back. I saw a handful of 30 round Pmags as well. One store does have a few boxes of .22 for $12 a pack of 50. Thankfully most people up here are fairly well prepared so we haven't suffered too much, we've just had to cut back a little on our shooting habits.

Bills Outpost in Maryville TN has two large boxes slap full of PMags and Troy Battle mags, all kinds of ARs from $800 to $2400, 4 M1As of different flavors, a PTR91, a slew of AKs in .223, 5.45, and 7.62, a VEPR in x54R, and plenty of PMC at $8 a box at a 5 box limit. They have a ton of 7.62x39 at <$8/box that's been sitting there for at least 2 months. Check it out if you're in the area.

Things are getting better, slowly.
Hopefully, it will pick up pace faster than our economy has....

I'm convinced much of the "shortages" now, are due to clowns buying whatever they can from major retailers that don't gouge, and putting their crap online for sale to try to gouge and make a few bucks.

I know some will say that's the American way, but I disagree.

It's resolving itself. And actually right on target with the time frame I suspected. I predicted that we'd have till about June then things would lighten up.

I recently bought three bricks of .22LR for 7c a round. Couple hundred 38 jacketed flat point for 27c a round. And a couple hundred 357mag soft point for 35c a round. It goes on sale for a couple hours then gets sold out. But it's available.

There seems to be plenty of 9mm ball, 308 ball and hollow point and tons of 12ga 00 buck. All pretty good price.

Guns likewise. They're coming back on the market.

No panic...

If anybody is looking for some hard cast bullets, I found a place. It's at Straight shooters.com. Haven't seen anyone else mention them here and can't figure out why. Found them by accident so I tried 500 for the 9mm. I received them in less than a week and the Quality is on par with the best of them.

They do not have a lot to chose from in many calibers, but everything they sell is in stock. Used them for my 9mm and 45 acp and they worked great.

Just passing on some info,

Cabelas in Columbus is fully stocked except for reloading supplies but they are better also.

You know things are bad when you can only buy one primer at a time! Do they take it out and wrap it in tissue paper? And how much fun would that be to sit down at the reloading bench and reload one whole round. It's like Barney Fife and his one bullet all over again!

Lack of bids in Gunbroker.

Is it just me or has the amount of bids for guns on GB died? I think that the current gun market has caused these guys to put insane reserves on auctions. Any thoughts?


Thanks,
WK

The big reserves are to ensure they don't lose their shirt. Too bad, they'll flog the ammo horse for the rest of the year, it's coming back into the stores and at fairly normal prices.

Wars over...

SG Ammo of Stillwater OK had approx 1350, yes 1350 25rd boxes of Golden Saber 124gr 9x19mm(9mm Luger). They were listed at around $14.00ea USD which isn't bad.
They had lots(1000rd per) of .38spl too. Like 630 or 650 lots. The brand was PMC or Speer CCI.

These are encouraging signs but the "war's" not over yet, .

CF
www.SGammo.com
ps: The site also had approx 175 boxes of Hornady's new Critical Duty ammunition in .40S&W.

Passed by the Buda Cabela's on the way to Austin. Rows and rows of AR-15 platforms from 850 to 1100 bucks. Quite a few Saiga 223s. Lots of 223 ammo. Lots of handguns. 9mm and 22 LR still missing. Lots of 45 ACP.

If you bought an AR for 3000 bucks and were hoping to cash in - ain't happening now.

Oxford, Alabama Wal-mart. Finally got a clerk who sat there and talked about the process, and they have a hard time getting it.

They had .22LR and .223 both made by Remington. Unfortunately they only had one box of each and I purchased them.

However they do have 44 mag, 32, 38, 380, 30-06, 308, 270 and a assortment of hunting calibers.

The ammo is slowly coming in. They only had one case of .22LR arrive today and it all sold except for one box in under two hours.
