Got a text today that the LGS has primers, powder, bullets, pistol ammo and shotgun shells. No idea how expensive and they were pretty busy when I drove by so I did not stop.

I stopped in LGS today, looking for 12 gauge slugs. I found some, not at a bad price as well: $15 for 10. I was in a Cabela's Monday, and it had boxes of 5 hollow points for $10. Nonetheless, the shelves were about 1/4 full. So, things are moving up. Seen .38s but no .357s or 30-30s. Did see a few lever actions: Henrys and Winchesters. Handgun case and rifle racks were full. It seems like we are turning the corner. I hope to get to the range, this weekend, if weather permits.

Good to know that they are showing up, in some places.

it most certainly is because it sure isn't around our part of the country

Been so long since I've been in one around here that I really don't what is available.
But good to see it is showing up here and there.
I don't really need anything at the moment, so I don't even bother.

Good luck in your search fellas.

Ive only shot 22 lately. I have mainly been shooting Black Powder

Drove 100 miles yesterday and checked all the gun shops and big box stores in my area. Not a single primer or jug of powder to be found. And actual loaded ammo? Forget about it. It doesn't exist out here.

This was my local gun shop ammo shelf a year ago, when things were starting to hit...
And this is the same shelf a year later...
No sign of the ammo shortage letting up in my area, whatsoever.

the last picture could have easily been taken in the shops around here

Yep, I think ammo for shops out west must still come by Pony Express. That pic of empty shelves looks exactly like the shops around here except for where some shops have filled the ammo and component shelves with water jugs or some other nonsense items.
