Ammo Drying up in IN?

[Dragon Talon TSi AWD]

I have been all over the place in NWIN, and I am finding hardly to next to no ammo. I am looking for 9mm, .45 LC, .410 ga, .38 spec, and I am finding it to be very very scarce, for all brands too. Anyone else having these problems?

I see it at most gun shops but I have noticed that Wal marts are very low on ammo.

i am in indianapolis and ammo is hard to come by here, or if you find it expensive

 

[tyler34]

thats why I buy online, much wider selection and doesn't waste gas.

Gun shops will be a bit more expensive, but its really better to support them then wallyworld

I've been buying 7.62x39 for like $6/20 for soft point

Got plenty of x54r.

I reload for the .45acp, and get components cheaply. Plenty of CCI primers for $3/100, and I use a place on the 'net for the bullets. Plenty of old stock powder at a local gunstore too, like Win 231 for less than $20. Plenty of brass...

I've just been reducing the number of calibers I have to feed.

I have been looking for some 45, and got the last to 100 round boxes wal mart in shelbyville had, was at bass pro in Clarksville on Sunday and they had a whole butt load of remington 9mm for like 12.99 a box but they nothing in 45, 40, or much of anything else either.

HOW much are you looking to buy? If you are looking for LARGE quantities you can pick up some from
Precision Cartridge, Inc. - Ammunition in 380, 9mm, 38, 357 Mag., 357 Sig., 10mm, 40 S&W, 41, 44, 45.

They have the 9mm, .38 Sp, and .456 LC
The only catch is you have to buy in lots of 500 and a minimum of 1K. The good thing is they are a local company so you can call and order then go pick it up when it is ready. I am looking to pick up some .40S&W as well as some 9mm myself here real soon.

Dicks in Highland had some ammo last I was in there, not at Walmart prices, but if you are having problems finding ammo, they had some.. Blythes in Griffith had a bunch as well. Again not the cheapest, but there is no shortage, just a shortage of the cheaply priced stuff.

I can't seem to find the bullets I used in my 1911, which sere Winchester SXZ. I got a box of those from bass pro, I think it was $23 for 50, and I can't find any box of 50 self defense loads. I have been to Gander Mtn, BassPro, Walmart, and Cabelas.

To be honest I can't find any decent deals on hollow points. I am not going to pay $30 for 25 .45ACP bullets, I'm just not going to.

I've gotten to the point of putting the Walmart and Meijer phone numbers in my speed dial on the blackberry. In case I'm out and about, I'll them to see if they've gotten any in. If they do then I head stright there and buy as much as I can at the time.

I started stocking up last year when the Dems announced Barak was their candidate. I stocked on on more at the last machine gun shoot at Knob creek in October. Like I told my dad I would rather have it and not need it then to wish I had gotten when I could.

Was at Big Rs today. There's no shortage of ammo there. .22LR, 9mm, .38 Special, .45 ACP, .223, 20 guage, 12 guage, 10 guage, didn't bother looking for .410 or .45 LC, slugs, buckshot, turkey loads. Ammo in lots more calibers than I've listed here.

There are lots of places besides Wal-mart to shop!

USPS and everyone else does their shipping charges by weight, and if I buy for every calibre I have, I'd be spending alot on ammo just for weight costs... I am looking for some HST's though, and no one has them at all, for 9mm or .45...

I was just at Blythe's, and they didn't have anything for .45, and 9mm/.38, they had cheap ammo (wolf, etc.), not the good stuff like Hornady, Federal, Speer, etc. I am talking about quality ammo guys, not junk to shoot at the range...

Yeah, someone else told me about them. They are in Hobart or something right? No, I don't need that much... I have about 400 rds total, but I don't need junk ammo. I need quality/custom rounds. Like, JHP, HST, CCI stuff, etc...

ANd I notice you guys are all down central/southern IN. I am up north... A lot different here. There is only about 6 places to go. I look for other places to shop in IN, and they are all Indianapolis and down...

That's what I should've done, but I didn't think about anything like I did now... Its really starting to hit me abou this "scare." But reality will soon settle in. An as a Marine, I shouldn't have let it go this far without having enough ammo to start a war with, if you know what I mean... Ha ha, just messin guys...

For you guys down south its not. Up here, its becoming scarce. And guns are being bought out too by Illinois douche's... They get em transferred and get their FOIDS cards and boom, they have like 3 guns at once. I have a buddy that is a dealer/gunsmith, and he has been telling me all this. And I was in Blythe's (Griffith) and there were like 5 Chicago cops all buying personal pieces and some range ammo that day. One of the guys there said that's like the 10th time this month people from Illinois have done that...
