It has been alot of work lately to run down my favorite ammo. I don't believe in paying the outragous prices. Are you guys Wal-marts out of 22lr?
9mm? or 5.56/223? Why is it really so hard to get? I don't blame panic buying!:mad:

Homeyland Janet the bull is buying it all up..
I pass by several Wally Worlds on my way to my favorite small lakes. Ain't seen nothing but .22 rat shot in a long time. Plenty of shotgun shells and a few
.270 and maybe a box or two of the 7mm & .243, but not very often. Got all I need, but can't help but check just to be checking. Purchased a new XDm
.40 3.8 but haven't found any ammo on the shelves. Got some, but until the bullets can be found for reloading, always looking for a few more factory loads.
Good luck in your quest.
Got 45s....9mm.....223.....243 at the local walmart the past month....its starting to show up in my neck of the woods
Yep! I been working a route been finding some here and there but alot of hours. I just passed bulk packs of Winchester 100 rds for $35 as its still around here fairly well! I found a 420 round can of 5.56 for $175! The market is getting worse for 22lr. Check www.gunbot.net for your 40 cal. If you get in a tight PM me and if I can I will help. Got a friend who owns a gun store and they also had 40 on Saturday, he may can work something out. Wish you live closer!Quote:

how do i find ammo?...i go to my gun safe, open it and find all my ammo right where i left it......i saw this coming and stocked up last August
The same here. I knew this was coming in 08, I forget the guy who got elected. I had several thousand rounds. I got into hopefully to start reloading. I wound up with 8k primers, 16 lbs. of powder, 5 thousand cases. I'm good to go.
When this settles down, invest in some ammo, don't get caught wanting again. Everything is scarce here from what I see, however, if you want to pay the price, it can be found.

It can be found, Question is. Are you willing to pay the price. The places you would get it and they are out. Are the ones not jacking up the price. The palces you can find it. They are charging twice, sometimes 3 times what you were getting it before. Mostly gun shopps are the one sticking it in your rear. I'm fairly comfortable with what I have in 9MM 7.62 X39 308 and 22-250.. of all things it the 22lr is the one eluding me now.
if you find any 22lr let me know. Thanks!!Quote:

Cheaper than Dirt is doing the same in Fort Worth. They line up every morning and buy everything before the customers have a chance to purchase. Same
price gouging and doubling the price. Had a friend pay the price at Cheaper than Dirt and it was double tagged. Their price tag over a Wal-Mart price tag.
Kind of knew it was happening, no doubts now. We are still limited to only 3 boxes of anything. Found some .22 shorts yesterday and all were gone this
morning. Got more than I need for the lever gun. Have had backordered .22 ammo at Cabela's for more than three months, but not going to give up on what
I ordered.
Walmart changed it's ammo policy allowing only 3 boxes per customer. If you see anyone buying more, complain to the manager.
Wal-Mart limits ammo purchases to three boxes per customer per day
Pawn shops have people buying for them. You get 15-20 people buying 3 boxes at a time and it doesn't last long. I wish walmart and academy would let you order it, so you wouldn't have to go wait in line, and still may not get any.Quote:

If any of you men are reloading. I just backordered 3k small pistol primers for 2.99 per 100. Their website say 3.99 per 100. Andrew who took my order confirmed 2.99 per 100. This is a good price. You can have primers and powder shipped to your local BASSPRO with no hazmat or shipping fees.
I decided not to buy anything from cheaper than dirty anymore. After looking online for magazines and ammo, and seeing the prices tripled what they were in november. Some stores are still the original prices. "the sportsman guide" seems to still have original prices.Quote:

X2 on cheaper than dirt. I won't do business with them. I found hi cap mags at the regular price for both my .40 and 9mm at grabagun and botach at regular prices with free shipping. I understand supply and demand but I don't agree with gouging prices like they have at all.
Just to let the smart butts know! I am stocked on most ammo and have been since the first election. Aroud here we shoot alot and 22lr and also 5.56 go fast! I asked if it was hard to get everywhere as it is here. I want to shoot and have had to work hard to get 22lr. i don't want to stock pile anymore, just have fun! To let those wondering about Wal-Mart know the only way to get it is to be there in the wee hours of the morning. You have to find out when they put it out and be there. They are getting plenty in its just getting bought up and some of it is the price gougers. I was originally aggravted with this, but a wiseman told me what is the difference between ammo and stocks. He said the American Economy was built around supply and demand.. Thats why gas is so high! He said for me not to throw stones unless I hadn't ever bought anything and profited from the sale. It is crazy though right.
Speaking of smart butt's. How old are you? Stocking ammo sine washingon's election and all.:yikesQuote:

I'm 46, maybe when you get that age you will see the difference between 34 and 46 and, you will understand. You said in response to ALL the smart butt's out there. Be a little more respectful when you say ALL. Good luck finding that ammo somewhere besides Wal Mart and keep your powder dry.Quote:

I have Thick skin. No offense takin. On the same note. I'm sorry if I offended you and hogged your thread so to speak? Take care.Quote:

Ammo is still scarce around here also.
Picked up 2 boxes of 5.56 at academy in Jonesboro for $9.99/ box this afternoon. One box limit. Glad my nephew was with me. Price is still high, but cheaper than most places around here.

You'd almost have to think they'd be hiring, but I guess demand keeps prices higher.
