Another ammo shortage?
Are we stuck with another ammo shortage? Appears so here. Hopefully not...
Re: Another ammo shortage?
It's still the same limited supply and high demand situation it's been for the last 18 months. We'll continue to experience sporadic bare shelves/rationing depending on regional demand at any given moment. Not likely to change any time soon, and we all know why.

Lot's of news stories about it lately, if you care to search the web for them - "ammunition shortage".

Re: Another ammo shortage?
Well, I haven't been to any of the gun shops around here since the first of June.
Sure glad I got into reloading quite the few years ago, still pretty well set on the components.
If and when the primers start showing back, I'll grab a few thousand of each.

Great article, I was thinking of starting in reloading, but with all the reports of little or no reloading materials in this forum sounds like it will be a while.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 8:54 amHere's a recent story out of Minnesota:

Re: Another ammo shortage?
The factory ammo shortage never stopped here, I believe the real heartache is the shortage of reload supplies which was always the ol standby.. Even the non reloaders usually knew someone that did..

Re: Another ammo shortage?
Ammo seems to be in fairly good supply here. Not all manufacturers but most all calibers can be had now without limitation. It may be Aguila, Tula, etc, and a few major brands but at least on hand.

Won't be seeing that Tula any longer, once what's here at the moment is gone.Shakey Jake wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 1:54 pmAmmo seems to be in fairly good supply here.

Re: Another ammo shortage?
I’m starting to see more and more Hornady bullets in stores which is encouraging. Still a crap shoot on primers and powder tho.

It seems we have an ammo shortage the first two years of every presidential election since Obama.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 7:04 amIt's still the same limited supply and high demand situation it's been for the last 18 months.

I don't have any hard data, but I suspect that periodic ammo shortages go back to at least George Washington.Sir Henry wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 3:43 pmIt seems we have an ammo shortage the first two years of every presidential election since Obama.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 7:04 amIt's still the same limited supply and high demand situation it's been for the last 18 months.

Re: Another ammo shortage?
I bet there were shortages during WWII also. The year 2008 was the first one that I can remember. George was slightly before my time.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 4:15 pmI don't have any hard data, but I suspect that periodic ammo shortages go back to at least George Washington.Sir Henry wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 3:43 pmIt seems we have an ammo shortage the first two years of every presidential election since Obama.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 7:04 am
