I was in a large gun shop yesterday. KY Gun Company. They had some ammo. 1 selection of 9mm fmj at $13.99 a box. They had some self defense ammo about $4.00 a box higher than normal. They did have Federal 6.5 Grendel 90 gr ammo @ $1.02 a round I only bought 1 box. Last I bought was .80/round. There is almost no 5.56 on line that isn’t 62 gr steel core or steel case Russian. Ammo is thin that’s for sure.
Pretty short supply at the range i went to yesterday. I expected that for the most part. What i didn’t expect was the exotic ammo was unavailable. Since it was an indoor range i intended to rent and shoot exotics to up the fun factor me (i prefer run and gun shooting) they didn’t have any .50AE .500s&w magnum or 5.7x28.
I checked a couple websites today both were sold out of small pistol primers.
Most of the big online retailers have no bulk ammo. When they do, the price is 40% higher or more depending on caliber. However the expensive self-defense ammo is still available at regular prices. I recently purchased some Federal HST +P from Lucky Gunner for the pre-covid price. They also had Speer Gold Dot.
My local gun shops still have ammo, but availability is hit-or-miss and they have purchase limits. Prices are not horrible yet…9mm target ammo went up about $2/box. This will probably get worse as the election nears.
Me & my ammo cans just sittin here …all empty of course
Rub it in fido. When i get home I’ll be sitting pretty. Just not gonna do anymore shooting down here
There is a gun show in Melbourne this weekend, i was hoping to pick up some primers. That is where i used to buy all my primers before i moved to Georgia.
When I took a relative out shooting, I conserved 9mm and we mostly shot 22, since I got a 1400x bucket of them a while back, even before I knew I would be getting an adapter kit. And I’m saving my brass now, even though I don’t have a press yet.
At last count i think i have 8 or 9 thousand 22lr. Buy cheap stack deep.
You mean IF… Always travel with an adequate supply of ammo . Didn’t they teach you nuthin in that reservation classroom? Did ya even remember to take your scalping tomahawk???
I brought my sub 2000 with 4, 20 round mags. I think it my be time to take you to obedience school Spot.
Wise decision, brother. I saved my brass for several years prior to buying my first press. I also scrounged a lot of brass from my shooting buddies. That was over 20 years ago and I’m still reloading some of that brass today.
That’s it? I take more when I run down to Wal-Mart
That is probably because your an a$$hole and people take shots at you any chance they get.
Maybe…
on my most recent ammo replenishment, saw a email from Federal than was informing their retailers that they were 4-6 months behind in all calibres
Good thing I only shot Winchester White Box…
Careful there i speak from experience that brass collection can grow into 15, 5 gallon buckets full.
Belt-fed’s only goal is to derail everything, it warms his cold heart…
The only thing for certain is any whiff of an ammo shortage -no matter how baseless- and it’ll all be gone. All of it!
Lesson: Keep some of your supply line close at hand. You never know when the REAL battle is going to start.
