Just a heads up for those who are interested; Cabelas has 1lb containers of Power Pistol in stock. Limit of two per customer. With the hazmat fee, it's kind of pricey but this stuff is hard to find, at least around me.

I'll wait. If everybody waited, this mess would be over much sooner. No way I would pay a $27 hazmat fee on top of the 1 lb powder price(8 lb box yes)...on top of the shipping price. That's insane.

Colorado Redneck · June 14, 2013, 09:00 PM

Ordered 3 pounds of IMR4198 from one of the big online retailers. Tracking notice said UPS would deliver on June 12. June 12th, tracking said delivery would be on June 13th. June 13th, tracking said "The package was damaged in transit-shipper will be notified."

I called the retailer. Told them what happened. Customer support said "this has happened several times recently with powder shipments. Not saying anything is going on, but it seems strange." Seems strange to me, too. Well, they had more of that powder and shipped me 3 more pounds. Will wait to see what happens.

My opinion? That powder will show up at a gun show somewhere. I may be wrong, but of all the stuff I have had shipped to me, and all of the stuff we shipped to our kids in the army, never had a problem.

I strongly commend the retailer. Handled this with grace and professionally.

If you're going to recommend the vendor, you might mention the name.

Colorado Redneck · June 15, 2013, 06:05 PM

Well, Unclenick--I guess they won't get in trouble for me quoting the customer service person's statement about powder shipments.

Gamaliel. This is the first time I have dealt with them. Spoke to two different employees and they were both extremely nice. They shipped my powder the same day I called about the damaged order. Said I don't have to do anything more, they will take care of it. Can't do any better than that!

Closing The Gap · June 16, 2013, 11:04 AM

I think unclenick was referring to the name of the actual "online retailer". This thread is here to help others get the items. If you don't tell us who you used it's of no help regardless of the experience.

Colorado Redneck · June 16, 2013, 04:20 PM

Closing the gap--I understand. A few days ago I posted the info about finding powder and bullets. I was reluctant to mention the name when discussing the damaged shipment because of their business relationship with UPS.

Has anyone been finding ammo at Walmart?

I've noticed that when using the app everything shows "out of stock" or "inventory stock unavailable". I was having really good luck with the app a couple months ago. I've never seen the "inventory stock unavailable" before. Must be Walmart's way of shutting the app down.

I went to Walmart this morning, and nothing showed up and the other guys that were waiting seemed to act as if its been awhile since something showed up. Could be their way of trying to run me off, but I spent every morning at that Walmart for 2 months before I found out about the app and know how things work up there. There were a bunch of new faces when I went this morning. Saw 2 guys that I remember waiting with.

Closing The Gap · June 18, 2013, 05:23 PM

My wife and I picked up some boxes Federal .22 last Thursday and Winchester .22 on Sunday. The inventory unavailable thing seems to be what has replaced "in stock". The last 3 purchases we made were unavailable, then went out of stock.

Those guys were more than likely trying to discourage you. The app still works for us when needed. We just had to figure out the correlation of unavailable to "in stock". Considering the app was down for almost a whole day last week I would assume they did some work on it and screwed it up a bit...

That's what I figured was happening. I ended up getting what I was looking for using gunbot.net for what I would pay at Walmart.

Jeff2131 · June 19, 2013, 09:10 AM

Natchez has more .223's

http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm...&src=bckrdAlrt

55gr FMJ Boat Tail with cannelure

$11.99 per 100

Garycw · June 19, 2013, 10:20 AM

Thought if share this link. I think it explains very well the reason for the shortage, about the manufactures and the possible solution.

but it didn't take me too long to find a few choice words to share.

BigD_in_FL · June 19, 2013, 11:55 PM

Sorry, if you do not like the price, then don't buy it......if the retailer can get that, then he has it priced right for the market conditions; if it doesn't sell, he will reduce his price

feets · June 20, 2013, 12:20 AM

There was a guy two rows over with the exact same boxes marked at $45. That's still $20 higher than the stores.

I can't believe people are foolish enough to buy stuff at these prices.

Dashunde · June 20, 2013, 07:09 AM

Yea... free market or whatever... $125 is still insulting.

One of those boxes is half the price of some of the pistols/rifles it'll run through.

Jimboh247 · June 20, 2013, 07:25 AM

I wasn't so much surprised at the price. I was surprised that someone actually had some to sell!

Good thing I still have about 1000 rounds that I bought pre-craziness.

I went to Gander Mtn yesterday, and felt almost stupid asking the guy behind the counter if they had any .22!

UtopiaTexasG19 · June 20, 2013, 08:32 AM

But, but, but those are really cool cardboard boxes.......

g.willikers · June 20, 2013, 08:36 AM

Ouch.
And one of our local stores pricing Thunderbolts at $90 seemed nuts.
Kind of makes having .22s a waste of time, these days.

Joe_Pike · June 20, 2013, 07:18 PM

I found some 5.56 at Academy today - 12,500 rounds for $6,499. It was in a steel barrel. I wonder how long they will have that.

Farmland · June 21, 2013, 10:17 AM

WOW 22's, I haven't seen that many in one place for a long time. I would have to pass at that price but I know if they ever come down to the right price and in stock I will never go short on 22's for the future.

fred_in_tx · June 22, 2013, 05:31 PM

Local WalMart in Wichita Falls, TX got in a bunch of ammo yesterday. The manager posted on the local Facebook guns & ammo that it was going on the shelf at 9 am. I got there and there was probably 40 people in line. They were ready as they had made a line with yellow tape down the back aisle. They had about 10 or 12 people working the ammo counter, you had to pay there not at the front.

They had 22 LR Federal white box of 325 for $13.97 limit 2 boxes per person.

They had Winchester 380 white box for $22.47 for 50 & American Eagle (Federal) 9mm for $17.17 50 per box.

They limited you to 2 boxes of 22 LR & 4 boxes total. They had a lot of other ammo but the above is what I bought.

We did some grocery shopping for about 45 minutes & I went back to sporting goods & they were still selling ammo.

Someone posted that they got in 2500 boxes of the 22 LR.

I hope the supply is loosening up somewhat.

LateNightFlight · June 22, 2013, 06:30 PM

When I first saw this in stock, it was sold out by the time I went to checkout. Then it came back in stock, but there's no telling what the depth of inventory is. (I've posted an in stock item before, only to see it sell out within minutes and probably before TFL troops had a chance at it. None-the-less, here goes. Good luck.)
