Poll : Ammo/Guns "flying off the shelf"?

**Ole WV Coot** · 05-29-2009, 07:30 PM

Yep, problem is catching up with you. We now have a two box limit (when we can find it). I don't practice anymore. Good luck, and keep what you have and be glad you are familiar with firearms. Practice is great but not at the risk of depleting my supplies.

The sports guy at Wally Moto told me to call them around 4:00. They would know what is on the truck and would be putting it out that evening. Now if someone in sporting goods would just answer the **** phone!

This is why all my weapons are chambered in rounds that the S.O. carries.
They are happy to supply us target ammo.

Lucky, all I get are pupil lights and trauma shears.

45, 40, & 9mm have been selling out on a regulare basis for the past six months or so. All of these have a purchase limit on them at the big retailers.

Went to the local ammo dump yesterday. They had a good supply of most calibers but prices were high.
Wolf M.C. in 76.2x39 or .233 was $399 per 1000. PMC 9mm $149 per 500. Federal .22lr, 36 gr. hp, $17.99 per 525.
The most overpriced was Fed 20ga. 3in. #2 buck $8.99 for 5.

ive been looking for ammo for a few months now with no luck. yesterday me and my brother got lucky...we went to a gun store called Turners looking for ammo and we got there right when they got a new shipment! the guys over there told us that they get around 3 million dollars worth of ammo every shipment and that it sells out before the day is over...thats crazy.

Sooooooooo....did you buy it all?

**Mountain Man** · 06-28-2009, 10:56 AM

.223/5.56 is getting a lot easier to find on the web local still not so much. Same with every pistol caliber.

It seems people in California or buying as much as possible when it gets in stock.

Darn Wal-Mart 6box rule though, I got 6 boxes of 9mm and had to leave 2 back

BLASTED!

Here in Denver the last few weeks have really started to return to normal at the shops I go to. I have a choice of several different brands of both FMJ and HP ammo again, rather than just a box of each or neither. The stores have been less hectic, too. While the selection for mid-range assault rifles hasn't improved much, they are staying on the shelves a little while now.

Primers and powder is still in short supply, but otherwise, things are starting to look a little more normal around here.

Hey Mountainman - You buy six boxes then your wife buys another six (if they have them). Works out okay. At least you double your purchase.

**crashdive123** · 07-02-2009, 07:15 AM

Some have even been known to buy six boxes, put them in their vehicle - return to the store buy six boxes, put them in their vehicle - return to the store buy six boxes, put them in their vehicle - return to the store - just saying.

Ammo is hit and miss here and getting high 9mm that used to cost $8.99 now $12.99. .22 ammo has gone from $3.99/100 to $7.99/1OO That's why I ordered $2,000 worth of reloading equipment last week when it gets here i can reload 9mm,.38,.40,.44,.45, .357,in pistol and .223,30-30,30.06,7.62x39 in rifle to start. plan on getting some other cals. and shotgun dies later. So once I get started keep your brass and if it gets to bad I'll reload it at cost for forum members.

**Mountain Man** · 07-02-2009, 12:20 PM

We live over an hr away from wal-mart and rarely do we both go together... but the idea is solid

And the return after getting 6 would work with some employees, one even told me he would sell me more than 6... this time it was a stickler!

**Jendeere** · 07-10-2009, 08:35 PM

My walmart is the same way, 6 box rule but their shelves are empty other than 28 gauge shotgun shells anyway. I guess its time to start reloading. I should have been all along, I bought some of the equipment a few years ago and forgot about it.

**Rick** · 07-10-2009, 08:37 PM

Wait!!!!! A woman that reloads?! Does your husband know what he has?! Drag him over to the computer. Go on, get him over here. Show him this!!!!!

No other women reload? I only have the setups for 20 and 12 gauge. I save brass for everything I shoot though, or find because my dad reloads everything.
