Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Where is it?

The "Notify Me" feature of the shooting supply houses works great. Night shifter here, and just got my sleep interrupted to order some mini mags that I got an email about.

But you gotta be ready when you get that notification. I had trouble signing in and called their order number. When I first called they had 43 boxes. By the time I could tell him I'd take 5 boxes they were down to only 14, and we're talking about maybe 15 seconds...

No idea how many they had to start, but they obviously go fast. You'd need to have an account set up and all your horsepower ready to plow when your phone chimes...

If I'd taken the time to take a leak first, I'd have missed out...

I saw on the internet someone trying to return toilet paper after the panic subsided. The store wouldn't give the money back. haha!

I keep hearing that and seeing Youtube videos etc of ammo makers going full bore, but.........I just can help but thinking there is a stink in the air about this whole thing.

the "third time" has been ongoing for more than a year.

Not where I live

As late as September I was able to buy about any common ammo in the big box stores locally.

Thanks, John, I needed a good laugh.

Less than a year here. Last Feb. I bought 40 SW and had ample supply and variety
of ammo to choose. I ordered 2 or 3 diff brands & bullets, no problem.

Now— it’s hard to find ‘much’ of anything. The antifa, blm riots started the gun/ammo purchases and the closer to election the greater Panic accelerated. I didn’t need anything so I didn’t pay attention as to when
the real panic started.

Hornady appears to be spitting out bullets. I have had little issue finding them. Two boxes of their 150 gr .308 Interlocks arrived from Midway today. A number of same diameter ELDx's and m's over the past couple of weeks. Also seeing TSX's fairly regularly.

I like what my LGS does. They keep ammunition in the back room. When someone buys a gun from them, they bring out a couple of boxes and offer to sell them the ammo for the gun they just purchased.

I suggest you drive up to Lewiston and take a look for yourself. Yes, while you're there you'll notice the stink of reduced sulphur compounds in the air of the Lewis-Clark Valley but it won't be coming from the CCI/Speer operations!

Per 22lr ammo in fort walton beach florida walmart - it was late 2019 before I saw 22lr ammo .

Asked an employee there ''why no 22lr ammo''? he said the same guys still come in and buy every bit of it .
Said a couple of women who worked there would get the ammo from the back as soon as it came off the truck - hide it under other stuff that they were going to restock on the shelves , then call the ammo buyers and hand it over to them .
