I think I purchased an expensive paperweight

[snubbyfan]

I haven't been able to find any .38 Special or 9mm out here. There's lotsa .40, .357 magnum, rifle and shotgun ammo except for .223 and 5.56.
I'm glad we stay stocked up on ammo and had lots before the craziness started.

I see it, and I raise you a little more.

Aww come on, seriously? LOL

Or they googled the key words "pictures of 9mm ammo".

I have more than I thought. I also have a very dirty carpet.

Or they really do have a stash. LOL by the way I am enjoying reading modern Reloading 2nd edition on the iPad. The thing is though...I do not see any "real" ammo in those pics. Where is the Black Tallon "man ammo"?

Black Talon had a Very Inflated Reputation
that was the Media's "Bad Firearms Item" of its day

Common more recent Self Defense Ammo performs better than it did

Nothing at that giant Cabela's in your backyard?

I use Hoppe's #9 for aftershave.

My buddy ( a retired cop ) says his wife thinks Hoppes is an aphrodisiac.

She doesn't contradict him.

Sorry about your bad luck on ammo but it will change and soon I hope. During the last shortage I was low on .380 ammo. My buddy in another state found some in his LGS for me but at a price. I coughed up the money and made sure I stocked up later when it became available again.
You might have to pay the price for some now or be patient and hope some becomes available again at decent prices. Then get yourself enough of a supply you don't get caught short in the future.

"OTTERS"

I got the Hoppe's Elite because Wally's World had it and it has no smell at all. My LGS only sells Otters cleaning stuff and oil, it stinks. Lol

Sorry to sound ignorant, but is "Otters" something new??

OK, you got me. LOL This is the brand my LGS sells:

Outers - Home

I could not take the smell of it or the Hoppe's #9 so I ended up with the Hoppe's Elite bore cleaner and oil.

Hoppe's 9 - The Gun Care People

And ya know? There are STILL people on the reloading forums saying it's not worth it to reload 9mm...

Normally that would be true but right now it fills a void left by the empty shelves and cost a mere 15¢ per round.
