I am finding more and more ammo available at my local haunts. Today I was abe to pick up .357 magnum, .38 special, 10 mm, and .45 ACP target ammo at one of the LGS I frequent. Depending on where I go I find different calibers available in small quantities but enough to keep my range time fun yet not deplete my reserve inventory. The only caliber I still have not seen in months is CCI High Vel .22LR. In the Cleveland Ohio area it just doesn't exist.
I have plenty in my (warehouse) but I don't like to shoot when I can't replenish.

Went to my LGS yesterday and picked up a brick of Federal .22LR, box of 380, .38 special and one of.40...better luck at the LGS than the big box stores.
 
Can't even get 12g target or bulk loads here, which surprised the hell out of me. I have components to load a bunch, but loading shotgun in bulk with a single stage is like watching paint dry with more elbow pain. 200 shells = pulling the handle 1200 times :(
 
Local Wally World received 1000 rounds of 380, 750 rounds of 9mm, 500 rounds of 44 mag, and a 1000 rounds of 30/30 today.

I picked up 450 rounds of 9mm ending a long dry spell.
 
Not in northern michigan. Worse now than two months ago. I give up, its stupid and pointless. Time for an electric car and a sword.

9mm and 22 again at my local wal mart last night.

Several boxes of ammo showing up on every truck shipment now.

All the local gun shops in my area have most everything on the shelf again.
 
Starting to get better here in the Ozarks. I have about a dozen within 30 minutes and they are all getting 9 and 22 at least twice a week. I baby sit my grandson so I can't go in the mornings when they put it out but I strolled in to one today at 11am that still said limited supply on their website for 9mm. Was shocked when I found 3 boxes of 100 Fed still on the shelf. Got em with a big thank you!
 
When this is over, anyone who doesn't learn how to load their own ammunition and start laying away primers, cases etc is going to be really high and dry when the next Progressive is elected. It's only a matter of time when the lefties in the country make owning powder illegal, in a can or in a cartridge. They've tasted blood and aren't going to let this thing go until the country is in their minds, "pacified"!

It won't take long for people to get sick of paying 75.00 for 500 rounds of 22 ammo.

As long as one wants to shoot, they will pay whatever the cost.

I dunno about you, but I still pay almost $4 a gallon for gas. It's either walk, or drive. Since i chose to drive, then I must pay almost $4 a gallon for gas.......The same will go for ammo.
 
I agree, things are softening up a bit. I'm in SW Michigan and my LGS is pretty much back to normal with reloading supplies and ammo.
 
I agree the last two weeks went to Walmart around 11am since I can't get up early enough to get there at 7am. I got there around 11am they had 9mm 40SW, 45 and 223 and just sold out of 22lr. Not bad I got some 9mm and 223 Federal value packs.
 
Went to 3 differnt LGS, found nada, fourth got 2 box of 45 Colt. Just got keep your eyes open!
 
The only somewhat reasonable prices for 9mm is 37 cents a round (blazer)when Academy gets a few boxes. One local LGS has 9mm for $35 a box amd another has it for $70 box.
