Stopped in the local Sportsman's Warehouse for some fishing items and of course had to check out ammo. They had a nice supply of varieties of center fire except for .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Their .22lr was inventory slim but they did have the Federal Personal Defense Punch .22lr for 11.99 for 50. First time I have seen it on the shelf. I didn't buy any as I have lots of CCI Stingers and Velocitors as well other HV and SV .22 ammo.

Prices were the usual post covid / shortage higher than normal. Cheapest 9mm target was around 21.00.

As I posted, today I also saw 22 Punch at the Warehouse.
Bought 100 rounds.
Same price.

Got an email today from a LGS that has multiple locations in the Columbis and central Ohio area. Lots of different brand 9MM at 17.99 a box. I am seeing a lot of availability right now. Prices are still post CV going to be interesting to see if folks still have the expendable income to buy at these inflated prices. I know I am in the minority, but I still believe there is room for prices to decline.

yeah but where are the primers for hand loaders?

I am a reloader as well and the primers are always the last thing to return to the market. I think they are all going into commercial ammo right now. Whenever that market stabilizes primers will become more available. I think they are available now just at a substantial premium.

I was just at Sportsman's Warehouse in Columbia, SC. This was not an intentional trip. Personally, I am put off by all the big box "nothing in stock" retailers, ie: Cabela's, Bass Pro, Sportsman's Warehouse, Academy, etc. But, happened to be driving by.
22LR: nothing at all.
Reloading supplies: nothing at all, except some very expensive brass.
The only ammo was the usual plastic pistol and Mattel rifle stuff.

I'm really getting sick of this.
