Ammo shortage,again?

[Ruger Nut]

I'm starting to see an ammo shortage again. Anyone else having trouble finding ammo?

 

[mkk41]

Been hibernating down in them there bayous??

Paranoia and hysteria has caused rampant short term hoarding , again.

 

[Smitty357]

You better buy up all the 7.62x39 you can. It's disappearing like .223 and the prices are going sky high.

 

[TexasRider]

It may not have hit ya'll as hard, but in Texas, it is a wipe out.

 

[filmit]

most stuff is gone in Utah as well. Anyone who didn't forcast this...well!

 

[RussellD]

Nothing on the shelves here. So I had to resort to desperate measures. We are in between houses after a recent relocation with my company. All of my dillon reloading equipment is packed up. So I was forced to improvise and reload the way I did years ago. Since I bought moma a new car for Christmas she gave me a pass-LOL

 

[KarmannGhia]

If you didn't start ordering cases of your favorite calibers the day after the election, you're behind the curve.

I've been buying more than I shoot since GW Bush lost.

 

[mr.jbk79]

During the middle of the summer I stocked up a fair amount, with thoughts of November down the road. Figured just in case anyways, prices may not get any better. Now seeing what I'm seeing, or lack of, I'm glad I did.

 

[Hapworth]

...since GW Bush lost.

Uh, whuh?

 

[MichiganScott]

Uh, whuh?

I'm thinking he means George H.W. Bush.

No shortage here either. I learned my lesson about factory ammo when Clinton took office and I handload.

 

[silentflyer]

Factory ammo,powder,primers,lead and .22 rim fire all a hard to find as hen's teeth here in Va. right now.

 

[oneill45]

cant get 9mm fmj to save your life in so cal. 357 mag fmj brass is non existent. but you can still find 45 without a problem. luckily my 45 is my carry piece.

 

[oneill45]

we all gotta start reloading like mr russell

 

[jibbr71]

Doing Ok in NH....can get single boxes of 9mm fmj all day, and my LGS still regularly has bulk 9mm every week or so, but it is bought up pretty quick. 9mm jhp of many varieties is available as well...that's all I shoot (short of 22lr and cf hunting rifle), so that's all I've noticed

 

[all357mag]

RELOAD, DAMN IT!

 

[S&W HE]

Like many of you, I bought center fire "components" over the span of many years. Since it won't get any cheaper, late in October I ordered 8# of rifle powder which was part of a large gun club order. That order has yet to be confirmed.

As for loaded factory ammo, all popular calibers are sold out... including .22 LR bulk packs.

Hi:
What did you fellows do with the stock that you purchased in 2008 ?
Did you really believe that Obama was a one term President ??

 

[brokenprism]

That does it. I'm switching to bow and arrow.

 

[Smitty357]

WooHooo, another good score today.

 

[Venturerider]

Northeast PA, no real problems. Shelves are overflowing at Gander Mtn., Advance Arms in Pittston has whatever you are looking for and cheapest around, Dick's, couldn't say as I don't go there anylonger.

 

[Hack]

I'm not buying right now. The 1000 rounds of Federal M193 I bought pre-Sandy Hook, was $415 delivered, it is now over $1000. No way, will I buy into this hysteria. I've got 3K rounds of .223/5.56 on the shelf, that will have to last until the price comes down. Or I need to dip into the 10k rounds of .22LR I've got.

 

[zip777]

I was talking with a buddy about his 2 m&p 15's. as he raved about them I asked "you have ammo?" To which he replied "no I'm out but there is plenty on the Internet!"

I told him to enjoy his 2 $1000 clubs. Every link he send me I told him....put it in the shopping cart and watch the April backorder status message.

Yeah...he's bumming.

here in southeast missouri it is almost impossible to find .223 ammo although I found some today. at 15.00 for a box of 20 I thought it was to high. I did buy 250 rounds of speer gold dot hollowpoints bulk ammo for 70.00. I am gonna use that in my 45 acp mountain gun.

If you can get 20 rounds for $15 better snatch it up. Colorado you can't get 5.56 or .223

Went to my fave gun shop today, they had an AR 308 for $2900 basic, an AR 22lr for $1800, and there is a 14 day backlog on CBI checks. They have over 12,000 requests in.

 

[dbl barrel]

probably should have. they closed after i left. May have to be there when they open

 

[ArchAngelCD]

Buy all the 223 ammo you can find!
Buy all the 7.62X39 you can find!
Buy up all the primers when you see them!
My local dealer had 10,000 primers on the shelf, I bought them all!
Order 100,000 .224" bullets, hurry!
Powder, send me 6X 8lb jugs!
I just saw 24X 30 round mags at the local store, I bought them all.
I was just at a store that had 4 cases of 9mm ammo, I bought all of it!

Hmmm, I wonder why there is a shortage of ammo and components?

 

[black41]

Okay in IL....but no big surprise there actually, ammo's pretty short, but I'm buying components anyways. I still try to buy loads of large pistol primers because I remember what happened in 08...couldn't find primers for love or money.

 

[zip777]

Out of curiously searched small pistol primers. Lol yeah....that was a waste of time.

 

[HotRoderX]

I am hoping this entire thing blows over soon. I just got my AR in November and I don't have a decent reserve of ammo built up for it yet. Thing is fun to shoot to boot. I think a trip to the local wally world is in order.

Good luck at WM! I went to my local WM yesterday and all they had was .177 and .22 caliber pellets.
