Early on in the pandemic ammo all but disappeared. Then things got better slowly. After the certain-political-party run cities started going to manure, ammo tanked again.

The local Academy had 4 boxes of .357 SIG V-Crown ammo on the shelf with some .300 BO and 170 grain SUBSONIC .30-30 ammo, 6.5 Creedmore, and .350 Legend. There was lots of shotgun ammo from #9 shot up to #2 Steel, but no slugs or buckshot.

I have enough .38 Special and .357 Magnum for "social work" and even have enough 9mm if I don't go nuts. If things go real bad, I'll open the 400 round can of 7.62x54R and break out the Model 38 carbine.

The last ammo I bought was when Walmart was closing out their handgun ammo and got a 250 round box of Winchester 115 grain 9mm steel case for $26.00±. If I get down to that, it'll be headshots only.
