Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ammo be gone

As if it wasnt hard enough to find...it now seems there is virtual no new rifle of shotgun hunting ammo hitting the net or shelves as of last week. There for the last several weeks if was able to be found online by frequent looking. I'm seeing nothing now except for sky high priced stuff and odd ball stuff no one can use. What gives?

Don’t worry .gov will bring unity on 1-21-2021

Guns and ammo will be outlawed in the new world order.

Thread in GW about what cartridges are dead. So if you can’t find ammo, can’t find powder and can’t find primers then how many cartridges are dead. All of them eventually.

Most hunting ammo is made in limited runs right before hunting season. Hunting season is mostly over so no more until August or so.

You are dreaming. What’s the old saying wish in one hand, sh*t in the other.

No sense in buying a different gun if you can't get ammo or components, found that out. I'm well stocked in large centerfire, large handgun, shotgun components... never had a 22 centerfire before or a 357. I have powder that crosses over and found bullets, but need SR SP primers.

I see guns for sale on local classifieds that don't sell, unless they come with ammo.

That's just not so.

Some ammo is made in cycles, as needed or as demand dictates.

But common cartridges are produced year round.

Anyone else been looking and found this to be the case? Or am I just black listed

We are months into this shortage.

Where have you been?

Just picked up a box of 7mm mag for a new to me rifle to see what it can do before I buy reloading stuff. That box sat on that shelf for so long collecting dust, the price sticker was $12. Todays price was $39 there were a few more boxes there. One of those stores that you would drive by everyday and not even think about it.

Academy Sports on the other hand, had bare shelves and maybe 2 firearms. Another local hardware store has Nosler ammo on sale. 264wm, 300wm, 338 lup, and 338 ultra something, and a few other oddballs. 22 Nosler was $16 a box I think. They stopped selling firearms and trying to get rid of that ammo. Another LGS has ammo on the shelves, just not the most common stuff.

Why hasn't someone mentioned this before?

I and my buddies “standardized” our equipment and calibers 10 years ago. All my main hunting rifles as well as others are standardized around the .308. I have other hunting rifles that fill niches like .338WM and 7mmRM, etc but AR’s, Glock 19’s etc allow for flexibility among a group of friends. It makes hunting trips easier since it seems someone (never me) forgets ammo or my buddy realizes he left the mag to his BAR at home only once we’re in the “bush” of Alaska. 😁

I just bought 2 boxes of 9mm and some waterfowl loads. Still can’t find any 338 win mag or Nosler 280ai. Soon maybe...

Whut inna werlds gon on?

Like old Mother Hubbard's Cupboard.

What's the situation on 22lr?

Are reloading supplies also scarce?

I hope catfish stinkbait dough balls are still attainable

I saw one cheese at the lbs but they were all out of liver and blood flavor.
