Looks like Vizard's and lots of the other online vendors have it. (BPS had it on shelves but not online, BTW.)

Every Walmart I’ve been in over the past couple months has plenty, albeit only Rem green box or Winchester.
It was just the perfect storm for an ammo shortage this year. Production will pick back up.

I’m glad I reload, got a bunch on hand. Ditto. I have a 30-06 that has never seen a factory round, and the other one hasn't seen one for 30 years. Someone gave me a box a lot of years ago and I gave it to a friend and asked for the brass.

Not around here the LGS I do business with had 6 brands 3/4 different bullet weights. 100-125 boxes on the shelves. Wallyworld had RP, ww, fed in 150's And 180 gr WT's. Primers still in short supply. Mb

Was at a Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday, no .30-06 ammo. Very limited supply of powder and nothing I was interested in. Two boxes of primers, pretty good supply of bullets. Did not see any brass but that was probably a different aisle.
Cautioned a SIL last night that he needs to check his .300WM ammo supply (he doesn't reload) and start looking now if he is short. He will be here this coming weekend with his family so we can go to my range and get him ready for elk season.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I do not understand people that do not keep a good supply of ammo on hand, realizing the times that we are in. If Biden gets in, there may soon be a time when you will not just stop at Wally and get some ammo when you want it. Find what your rifle likes and start buying it whenever you have some extra money. Preparedness is the buzz word of the day.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

I’m not “out” by a long shot. Just the first time I’d ever seen the ice cream shop out of vanilla...

Cabelas this weekend was sad except for 30-06, 270, and a couple of Creed variants. Reloaders have options in .308", .284", and .338". Slim pickins otherwise. I think that some of the ammo shortage is seasonal. Deer season here opens on Saturday and elk season opens in three weeks. Big-box stores near me usually stock 20-25 different 30-06 loads and 12-15 in 308. That starts to get thin in late September but this year it got thin in July and vanished by September. They have trace amounts of 243, 30-30, 25-06, 300 WSM, 300 WM, and 338 WM but selection is poor. Stocks of 7 Mag and 270 are not lavish but they offer the most choices. You can find oddballs like 7x57, 32-20, and 30-40 Krag but I wouldn’t bet on it getting replenished any time soon once it’s gone.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Don't gave a huge amount here at home.
But boy do I have powder, bullets, and primers.
A good bit of 4895, Varget, Unique, and Universal.
By design. I can load anything I shoot, and things I don't,

John - what 30-30 are you seeing? We have been totally wiped out here for weeks. I talked to a couple LGS guys, they said when panic buyers couldn't get stuff they really wanted, they started buying lever guns and all the 30-30 ammo just to have *something* under the bed. Can't even find it online. I've got quite a bit stashed away, but never would've guessed 30-30 as a panic cartridge. Weirdly, 270 is the ONLY thing still sitting on shelves here in smaller stores. I would've thought that went before the 7 mag, etc.

Although I don't shoot factory ammo I perused the aisle at Sportsmans in Cheyenne last night. No 30-06, 270, 308 ammo. Did have a goodly selection of 260 Rem ammo though.
