Wait until after January 6th. It will be easier to find lips on chicken.
Some light at the end of ammo tunnel?

The best deals I've seen this year have been on local 2A message board classifieds.
On the Good News/Bad News front, ammo is now easier to find than COVID-19 shots.
OP
Just picked up a few more boxes this afternoon (limit two per caliber). Even had some 38 Special on the rack. Somewhat elevated prices but you gotta suck it up.

Just today I swung by Cabelas.
No Daylight there.
Midnight!
They had some 454 Casull. No 9, 38, 44, 45, 22 etc.
And not many Shotgun Shells!
The last time I was there they had a bunch of Shotgun Shells.

My closest Cabelas DOES get shipments of 9mm, range ammo and defensive ammo, 2~3 times per week. It sells out very quickly. A couple days before Xmas they sold out of 30,000 rounds of 9mm in 45 minutes, even after limiting purchases to 100 rounds. I believe most of it was Herters, which is their own brand now, I believe. Some was Aquila.
You can call any Cabelas and ask if they have been getting shipments. They will not know when the next one is coming, but they can tell you when the last one was.
However, I was told they have not received any .38 spl in weeks...
(my range is also out of .38, and has been for a couple months)

@KalamazooKid: Take a close look at the Ammo.Inc rounds. Some were assembled and shipped to the Midwest before Christmas with some very "hard" primers, which result in light strikes in some guns. The primers in question have a small dimple.
A guy in the next lane at the range could not use them in his Glock. I had better luck in a 5906, but I still had two misfires in about a dozen rounds.
The same ammo did not feed reliably in my CZ P01 Omega, however it DID fire in that gun, if and when I managed to get it in battery.

Right now, I buy whatever I can and hope for the best (but I still won't buy steel cased ammo). I'm much more selective on my SD rounds tho - just holding on to my current inventory and not shooting those (unless SHTF).
