Local Walmart had 500 rounds of 28 gauge AAs. I almost bought them so I could justify buying a new shotgun. That was the only ammo they had.
Dunham’s in the mall had 4 boxes of .220 swift and s few boxes of 6mm Creedmore. And a box of .250 Savage. I’d say normalize prices. I bought the Savage just to have the brass handy. Also had some .458 Winchester or some other such nonsense at $180/box.
Academy had absolutely nothing. Heard the girl behind the gun counter say the doors open at 9, the line usually starts around 8, and everything they put out is sold in the first wave.
Local mom and pop had Sellier and Beloit FMJ in 9mm, 40s&w, .45ACP and 10mm. $40/50. Back in early fall last year they also had a slew of Walmart synthetic stocked Weatherbies for $450

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? Most hunting ammo is made in limited runs right before hunting season. Hunting season is mostly over so no more until August or so. In a sea of stupidity, this post stands out like a beacon in the night. In a sea of stupidity, it's more like one of those "rogue waves" that sinks a huge ship.

I got an email this evening from Shooters Pro Shop that they had 9mm JHP 124gr blems in stock. I went down the hall to check my supply, came back and they were out. If you see something you can use, order it NOW.

I asked my local Walmart manager about am mo, as in when it arrives and when it is put on the shelves. He told me they get some ammo every day, but don't know what is coming. He told me to get to the store as soon as it opens and check the shelves. Sure enough, next day I was there when the store opened and went directly to sporting goods. On the shelf was 6 boxes of Winchester power points, 150gr in 270win. I no longer own a 270 so I walked away.

What's the situation on 22lr?
Are reloading supplies also scarce? During the .22 rimfire bubble, the productive capacity was increased from about 4 billion rimfire rounds to 5 billion rimfire rounds per year. The National Shooting Sports Foundation has estimated total ammunition produced for the United States market in 2017 at 8.1 billion rounds. In 2018, the total ammunition production for the United States was estimated at 8.7 billion rounds. The numbers for 2019 should be published in December of 2020. A reasonable extrapolation puts the amount of ammunition produced for the United States market at somewhat over 9 billion rounds, of which 5 billion are rimfire and 4 billion are centerfire rifle, pistol, and shotgun rounds in 2020. https://www.ammoland.com/2020/11/how-much-ammunition-is-produced-for-the-united-states-market/I think Gemby has at least half of the 8.7 billion rounds of .22 ammo produced last year. Holler at him if you need any.

Guns and ammo will be outlawed in the new world order. They are trying to starve us out. Without ammo, we can not shoot back..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I saw one cheese at the lbs but they were all out of liver and blood flavor. Those don't taste good. No ammo to shoot deer really must suck!!!

As of last Wednesday afternoon the Dicks in Monroe La. had 12 and 20 ga steel field loads at $4.97/box. Flew in on business, otherwise Id've cleaned them out. If your local it might be worth checking out. I found some Remington gun club 12 ga shells at midway for $9.99/box and got 1/2 a case. Don't want to let my cash on hand dwindle to much at this time.

Why hasn't someone mentioned this before? You'd think there'd be 40 or 50 threads on this by now.

I really don’t buy the “reasons” we are being given for the almost complete dearth of ammunition and components. Someone turned off the spigot. I really would like to know the truth as well. The American Rifleman just put out that the makers are running flat-out. Seems strange to me.

Up here too, went to the ammo store and they only had two small boxes of primers, so I bought one with 1,000. Only maybe 10lbs of obscure powder wtf??

Yes I'm aware this has been going on for months and quickly getting more scarce. But its seems to have come to a point where the tiny bit that was trickling out has stopped. And with Biden almost into stolen office now you really thought it wouldn't get worse? Everyone is buying anything even if they don't need. Not to mention the fuggin scalpers again too. I'm amazed when people are amazed. We've been through a few cycles of this before unless you are just totally new and young you should have expected it.
