REMINDER : this has been a good thread that has provided good info but it has danced around the forum's prohibition of political / inflammatory commentary ..... so that we can keep this thread going, the dance has to end here

Not in Illinois, local stores are out of 22's , on line sales not much better. I will not pay 25 bucks for 50 rounds!

Talk about ammunition shortages, I visited a rifle dealer I buy from, haven’t seen him in a year due to Covid, and I have never seen such barren shelves. He said he has $500,000.00 in standing orders for inventory and has received about $20,000.00 of it!

Re: Ammo supply good in your ‘hood?
Visited one of the few gun shops around that sells reloading supplies, as I was in the area. It's an hour drive, but was over there with a friend so we stopped in.
Very little ammo, no primers, quite a few bullets, and a little bit of powder. I did pickup a lb of 3031, works well in the 30-30's and the 35 Remington's.
A fair amount of firearms, but nothing like the old normal.

Re: Ammo supply good in your ‘hood?
Primers are still in abundance across Canada looks like. I’m at the point where I just don’t need anymore of them. Percussion caps is a different story. None but I have lots. Some shops say no ETA or late 2022 maybe.

Maybe take a picture of a shelf full of primers in a store. Forgot what that was like!RanchRoper wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 12:07 pmPrimers are still in abundance across Canada looks like.

Re: Ammo supply good in your ‘hood?
My hardware store in town still has a box of 1000 Federal large pistol primers, plus a bunch of 100 box sets. I cleaned out all the CCI ones, and some Federal as well a couple months ago. Reloading only 1 caliber I have years of primers now.

Surprisingly the LGS had some popular calibers in stock yesterday. They were limiting one box per customer. No primers though.

Yep - central Illinois has NOTHING. Certainly no 30-30!
I just bought my 009X Friday - though the ATF folks don’t want to approve it!!!! Grrrrr.
Doesn’t matter when I can eventually pick up my rifle - there is nothing to feed it:(
Boy - those folks at ATF are a real piece of work!!!!
geezerjohn - with no gun, and no ammo:(
