Ammo supply good in your ‘hood?

Jim, I saw shot shells at both Academy, and Gander Outdoors the other day.

suggestion appreciated .... we have both of these stores near Raleigh but the closest is 30+ miles away .... I'll give them a call after they open

Cabela's: Federal.

suggestion appreciated .... I was in our local Cabela's not too long ago .... no shells whatsoever .... I'll give them a call in a little while

Interesting. I seen some were available online and some were not. I am still debating about ordering some: free shipping for orders over $50.

I still haven't seen any ammo around here in months. Maybe they keep it in back if they sell a gun. Not many of them either.

following your recommendation, I called our nearest Academy ... they did have 20 boxes of #8 skeet shot .... didn't mention the brand .... they have a 10 box limit .... $9+ a box .... that's high but for these times, not really high .... called our youngest son who needs them .... haven't heard if he bought any .... once again, suggestion appreciated

For the past 4 days, I have been getting newsletters from Grab-A-Gun about receiving ammo and firearms daily. I did check; some handgun ammo and shotgun ammo seem to be in stock. However, there was not any 30-30 or .357s. But, it seems to have lots of 9mm though. Because I don't like paying shipping, I may wait for awhile before buying any ammo.

Found some Agila 22 super extra 40 gr lead bullet at the LGS for $4.99. Had to buy some. No limit but I just bought 4 to give someone else a chance too.

Ammo supplies are getting a lot better around this area. Prices are a bit higher than usual but you can get pretty much whatever you want if you know where to go.

Great to hear Jake! Hope the trend is spreading!

I stopped in a LGS a couple days ago, looking for 12ga shells. Found lots, at what I thought to be a good price. Picked up a box of 25 00 buckshot for $20. It is a brand that I am not familiar with: Sellier & Bellot. But, I figured it was worth a shot. There were a few handgun and rifle rounds, but not a wide selection. Yet, it seems like we are turning the corner.

S&B is a recognized brand.

I have used their lr rifle primers before.
I had a couple that didn't go bang, but out of a 1000 that's acceptable.

Ive been getting some emails from Target Sports they have ammo but 50 and 60 cents a round is more than I want to pay. 22LR Ive been seeing for .12 each. I have plenty for now and will just hold on to what I have until the price drops. Once they get a surplus of it it will drop.

Yep, think is my thinking also.

I guess it depends on where you go. I could get at Walmart for about $16-$18. But, a LGS that I frequent would have for about $22. The LGS was higher, yet it is not a national chain. So, I paid a few dollars more, at times. Of the firearms that I purchased from it, I have not had to pay for any background check. And, the price of the firearms were below retail. So, I did not complain much about the price of ammo. In the end, I prefer dealing with the LGS. People seem more knowledgeable than Walmart staff. Then, that is to be expected. So, I guess I pay for the expertise.

Id do the same thing here if we had a local gun store but we dont. I support a Pawn Shop in Loveland that has been good to me when I can but they dont have much in the way of ammo right now. But they sure have sold alot of guns for me.

I was in Walmart today, lo and behold three boxes of 30-30 in Winchester. Winchester is my preferred brand. My Marlin likes 150 grain, which was only one box. And, that was the amount I was looking for. My Henry does not seem to be as picky. The other two boxes were 170 grain. I thought about it, then just went with the 150 grain. I have 170 grain still waiting to be shot, which I may do when that is all left. My rifles seem to be more accurate with 150 grain. The 150 grain was $19, and the 170 grain was $17. So, I must not be the only one who prefer 150 grain. At any rate, seems like light at the end of the tunnel.
