i think the problem is gougers more than hoarders. i have always tried to keep like 20,000 rounds on hand but since all this stupidity started there are people finding these sales, buying it all up and selling it for 2-3 times what they pay for it so they can buy even more next time. the cheaper ammo such as .22lr and 9mm are getting hit so hard because a lot of people ran out and bought a **** load of those caliber weapons when ammo went up thinking they would save money on ammo when they actually just created an even larger demand for cheap ammo so gougers can hit you even harder in the wallet and causing a panic of ammo hunters to near instantly clean out any supplier with ammo. if people were not gouging on prices i dont think there would be such a panic. i know i didnt really hoard .22 ammo until this all started and the stuff went up to 80 per brick at stores in my area. now i buy up all i can find (for a decent price) and then re sell it to my friends for just enough to cover shipping.

I guess I was too early at 6am...nothing on the shelf and the guy working in Sporting Goods acted real coy when I inquired about seeing it on the website
Oh well

When I check stock it just shows either in stock or limited stock or out of stock I never see the actual #...
I would not get carried away with all the hype. I just checked all my walmarts and they all now have Federal 45s 38s 9mms and WWB9mms I am seeing more ammo come in. Paying 20 cents a round for 22lr is the fool and his money. And as I looked for Wolf ammo I did not see the lines of people trying to buy it up. It actually went on the shelf.

Natchez seems ok looking at my last order from them it was for 10 box of 50cts.
It was 11 for shipping and 3.99 handling.
Its really not bad since they have to have someone to ship all this stuff.
I got a email from staff saying that they didn't have but 5 and what would I like to do. I asked if they could toss in some glock 19 15rd mags since it showed in stock. And they did
Just think of all the wasted gas and your time..
Nice to see they worked with ya on it!
Their shipping is actually based on published UPS prices (even their catalogs state that). Maybe not what we all wanna see considering other sites may have reduced freight, but at least on my order with delivery to my residence it was right on. I may not want to keep them as my main source, but i sure wont spend my time and money (both valuable to me) driving all around the area "hoping" i can get something. I'm more concerned with those selling the actual product at greatly increased costs, then the few extra bucks on freight. just my .02
DozerDave - My boss could not give a **** about ammo. With his income, he does not even have any idea what the price is. He has people for that. Actually got by a Walmart at 8:15 because the snow caused school closings. Already sold out of all 22 they had. Saw 2 guys buying the last of the 9mm. Suppossedly they will not start selling until 9 from now on....
8up - Yep not sure why TN is on the banned list. I did not see NY on it.

Cool deal.....and thanks....same here bud.
academy
I've had pretty good luck at academy. They seem to get ammo daily, and there are people getting in line around 6am (store opens at 8am). I've gone a couple times around 8:15 and been able to get a box of 100 and a box of 325. I've seen people walk out with the 1400 rd buckets but you have to get there real early for that. Academy has a limit of 1 box per caliber, so that helps. Also their prices seem to be near normal ($15 for 325). I heard the 1400 rd bucket was ~$60 so that's near $0.04 per round.
I just wish the hoarders would back off and let things get back to normal, that would help a lot with availability.

I think the biggest problem is people buying and then doing a gouged resale. I have seen this in several instances. One time i was in walmart and they had 420 rd cans of lake city 5.56. The guy in front of me was buying his limit of 3 and basically bragging about how he owned a pawn shop and resaleing them. I got last case. He made me mad but that stuff is going on everywhere. It is not just the regular folks buying for themselves....like me cause i am not buying anymore
