Ammo shortage is over (I think)

[longbarrel]

Just wanted to let of the ammo hounds know that I think the ammo shortage is beginning to be over. I know of 4 places with lots of ammo in stock at good prices right now. 1. The Outdoorsman in Greenwood
2. Wally world North of Southport Rd on US 31
3. MC Sports in Bloomington
4. Ed's trading post in Nineveh
Dick's
Gander Mountain (really high)
I'm not saying they have everything, but all have some pistol variety and rifle/shotgun. More than I have seen since December. Also, got home from work today and my Natchez mag was there. They have all of the WWB in stock for sale right now. Plus a boat load of hornady, speer and blazer. I wouold say other than Gander all of the prices were moderate at best, but it is out there and available

I hope this is the case soon down here in SW Indiana.

The Aurora Wal-Mart (southeastern) is the worst that I have seen. I can run across the border to OH or KY and those Wal-Marts have plenty compared to the dry shelves in Aurora.

it comes in waves in Fort Wayne. There will be a bunch or a store will say they have 12 boxes but you get there and you're lucky to get 1 or 2 for the range. I think there's still some hoarding going on. I have yet to buy a box go to the range and come back a few days later and find more. But it's not weeks anymore so I think you are right on the trend.
Gander does seem stocked allthe time though. But Blazer 9mm is $16.

When I met with the OP today, I was really happy to see some FMJ .38 in stock. Very happy as I was 100% out and need some range ammo if I'm gonna get a chance to go!

I believe the ammo shortage will be over when:
1) We quite talking about it
2) We can name more than 4 places in the Greater Indy Area that has ammo
3) When find reloading components is as easy as ammo

I'm ready to see some real price wars!!! HU RAH!! lol.

 

[Fenway]

No 9mm at the 96th st Walmart today

 

[NEWMAN]

Nothing in two walmarts in Louisville. and like above no .223 at 96th. all checked within 2 days.

 

[tharlow514]

I think supply will continue to increase this winter when people are shooting less and demand decreases. Maybe we will all get some cheap ammo for Christmas!

 

[Cozy439]

It's not the cheapest, but LUCKYGUNNER.com has had a good selection lately including .223 and .38ACP. They are also fast -coming out of Toledo i think any order i place before 10 am arrives the next day at standard rate.

MCSports in Btown didn't have a single round of 45ACP ball a week ago, neither did Wally world. I took the last 100 round box from the shelf at the Martinsville Walmart.

I agree with RNM. When the shelves are full, it will be over. The same with reloading components.

The good news is that this is a sign of it coming. Another is that people seem to be not willing to pay inflated prices set by greedy retailers and "traders."

.45ACP Fiochi

Fiocchi .45 ACP

This is what I told you about on the phone the other day.

Yep. I was tempted too. MCSports has .380 at sub $20/50 prices from what I saw today. The capitalist in me said, "Get it and resell baby!" The nice guy said, "Don't be a ****."

Funny though, when I told Andrew I did not have anything to shoot .380 with, he replied: "Yet!"

Yes, I know and thank you. Problem was I needed it the next day.

You know, I thought I was the only one with that 'impulse disease'. ???

Need, no, want!!!! NOW!!!

I have seen plenty of 9mm and .40S&W at the east side Indy Walmart. I am sure Meijer and Dicks are in the same position. In fact, the Walmart has been offering two different brands of 100 round bulk packages. I would say the shortage is likely over, but I know that if Obama or someone high up in the administration utters one word about gun control, there will likely be another run on guns and ammo. This is especially true with the upcoming supreme court case. In fact, if one of the conservative justices ends up sick and/or passes away, that would flip the court to anti-individual freedom when it comes to the second amendment.

As such, I would highly recommend people buy a box or two per week or every other week if they don't have much ammo stored.

Bloomington walmart has 38's in stock, saw it earlier when I picked up 9mm
