Re: Ammo supply good in your ‘hood?
Rural king in Plano Illinois had plenty of ammo. The most I've seen in a while. There where 50 round boxes of 9mm ammo for $25.
There was also 50 round boxes of 22lr for $7 a box. None of the ammo had limits. I will add the 9mm, was for target practice only.

Re: Ammo supply good in your ‘hood?
The bass pro mothership in Springfield, MO has stacks and stacks of prepper/black rifle enthusiast rounds: 223, 308, 6.5 creedmoor, 300 blackout, plenty of 9mm too. These prices are all coming down. But hunting calibers like 30-30 and 45-70 are nowhere to be found. I just ordered my first Henry, a 45-70 and I had looked in a half dozen places for ammo. I found a place I'd never been on google and they had a stash of leverevolution 45-70 a few bucks below the cheapest online price at just (JUST!) $2.50 a round.
I stocked up on ammo for my AR-15 and AR-10 last year, looks like I did it backwards.
But honestly making gun-nut hoarding rounds makes perfect sense from a manufacturer perspective. People who don't need them will buy 1000 rounds at triple the going price three years ago. Meanwhile the old duffers buying 30-30 get one box every two years and will just go without before paying $60 for a box of Corelokt.

Picked up a box of 15 Federal 3" 12ga slugs at Wally World last night for $16.68. There were about four or so on the shelf. Asked the clerk when 30-30 may be in. He scanned the bar code and told me that a shipment is expected on the 18th. So, I plan to check back in a few weeks. Never know, just might be a box or two waiting for me .

I don't live in no"hood".........Don't even know what that is.........I do live on a farm in the woods. My ammunition comes from my ammo factory. I cast bullets and make my own #8 shot.

Like you I live out in the county, and can/do literally shoot right off the back deck.
I also cast quite a few different bullets for loading.
Don't shoot that much shotgun stuff and don't load for those.

I thought that he was referring to neighborhood. Like you, I have been thinking about producing my own ammo as well.The Happy Kaboomer wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 10:05 pmI don't live in no"hood".........Don't even know what that is.........I do live on a farm in the woods.
