Who has bought ammunition lately or tried?

[greenpigs]

I ordered a couple boxes of .357 from an on-line place that showed in stock & my confirmation email had a expected ship date of 12\31\2013.

Didn't see a post on just buying ammo & know a member here works at a ammunition manufacture if he want to chime in on the crazy going on.

If you had been ready for the Zombie Apocalypse you'd already have all the ammo you need...I do not feel sorry for you at all!

About impossible to find anything on-line at the moment. Everything seems to be on backorder.  Most retailers when they have it on hand are limiting the amount you can buy. Still moves off of the shelves pretty fast.  Most manufacturers are running 24/7 and can't keep up with demand.

May have something to due with the fact that the Feds, not military, have bought 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo in the last 10 months and have bids going out for another 26.5 Millions rounds.
FYI the military has been consuming ammo at the rate of 5.5 Million rounds a month, so the Feds will have enough on hand to last about 30 years if consumed at the same rate.

Maybe we can ask for our tax refunds in ammo instead of $'s  .

It was more of a suprise someone had some in stock so I hit the button.

I have mine. Just picked up some of these.  

[nvrbdn]

i just picked up 2 boxes of 38 a box of 30-30 and a box of 17hmr today to add to my collection. last week got 3 boxes of 40 and a few boxes of 17hmr. like to find some 9 though.

 I am always needing ammo i feed 50+ guns.

I check walmart regularly. It is hit or miss on what they will have.

[nvrbdn]

thats where i just got mine today. but the pickins are slim. 22, 25, 9 are almost impossible around here. but i can get 270, 30-30, 40, 38, 357, 45 at a few different places. but they are limiting to 3 boxes a visit.

[greenpigs]

If a person owns more than one firearm chances are they have a .22 & 12 gage & most of the people I know have a 9 MM as well.

I think it's the same for most places to be out of 9 MM & ALL 22 ammo and just the higher end revolver ammo is left. Plenty of game ammo to choose from for shotguns but the OO buckshot is gone most times.

Posted before I was going down to just a few calibers & sold off my 9 MM & got a Ruger single six convertible 22LR\22 Mag along with some $ in trade.

Now I just have 22,38\357 & 12 gage to buy for which makes larger purchases(500+) more cost effective. Still have that S&W .500 but I never shoot it & the on hand supply will do.

 everyone are getting wise to when the store get their shipments in clean them out in hours

[charger490]

i am going to a ammo store monday that has a lot of ammo.if you let me know what you need before i go i will check to see if he has what you want. i ordered 9mm and 45s  charger490 or email  instant@frontiernet.net

[polywideblock]

why doesn't anyone reload anymore? used to make a couple of hundred then use on week end >back to start way cheaper than ready rolleds

[charge69]

Copes Distributing has a special going on now. 1000rnds Speer Lawman 180gr. FMJ 40s&w for 399.95 plus 9.95 shipping. Best price I've seen lately.

And to answer question about reloading:  A lot of people still reload even though prices for reloading supplies has shot up and certain things like primers are scarce here. I would rather just buy newly manufactured ammo as little as I shoot anymore. I would never buy someone else's reloads. I don't trust myself to reload and sure don't plan on trusting any others' reloads either!

[nvrbdn]

i agree, i will just buy the new rounds. just did tonight. more 38's and 357's.

[bull]

Everywhere I've looked you can still get ammo but only if you need shotgun shells, 17 HMR, 300 Winchester mag or 25-06 rounds. Well, unless you want 0, 00 buck or slugs for the shotgun. That stuff is nowhere in sight.

If the 17 HMR was offered in a reliable, tactical style semi-auto with a 30-round clip (as it should be) the shelves would be cleared of that stuff too. That's an awesome little round but they really need to build a nice gun around it.

i really like that 17 i picked up. the pic of it is on the new rifle just arrived thread. or something like that. it is a nice shooting rifle. im glad they havent caught on too fast. im still buying ammo for it.

I have heard nothing but good about them.  I'm looking forward to the 17 SuperMag which they just announced.  They claim it's a 300 yard rifle (rimfire!!).
