Ammo supply good in your ‘hood?

[JVogler]

Living in the "hood " ain't all its cracked up to be. Yes you may hear daily gun fire but it's not someone testing new load recipes off of their back porch. That being said in southern New Jersey it's starting to get scarce again. You name the caliber and local gun shop /range will say handgun ammo for range use only one box for sale of they have it.

A local shop, Bi-Mart, has a legit Black Friday sale on a couple of calibers. While $16.97 is not wonderful for 9mm the 7.62 is pretty close to pre-pandemic prices around here.

Saw that ad, while not the $10 -$12 we were paying, it still the best price I've seen locally. I'm assuming they are brass cases. I've heard you need to show up on the days they get their ammo shipment or they will be gone.

Dave, I was in Bi-Mart a few days ago (before the sale was announced) and the Deer Park store had a good supply of both. However, with the five box limit I suspect the inventory will go fast. I reload both calibers so I won’t buy any but happy for those who need some.

has anyone noticed if 12ga dove / skeet shells are available at Walmart and other such places

It's hard to say aroud here. One day yes, then the next day or so no.

[JEBar]

I'll probably pick up a few boxes next week, the Black Friday price would have to be a lot lower for me to venture into a store on Black Friday.
I haven't been shooting a lot lately and still have around 30 boxes of 9mm so not in immediate need for more.

A guy posted on Spokane Gun Trader that he was there on Friday and when he got there there was about 20 boxes of 9mm left. By the time he left it was all gone. They did have some 7.62 still. He said that he overheard a clerk say that they had more in the back and planned to put some out every day until gone.

I'm pretty good on .22, have around 5000 rds.

we visited our local Cabela's this morning .... NO primers .... small selection of powder .... 50 +/- rifles in stock, 2 made by Henry .... decent bulk boxes of 5.56, good number of regular boxes of 223 with very little other boxes of loaded ammo .... small selection of Hornady bullets for reloading .... pretty good selection of semi auto hand guns .... all in all, pretty discouraging

[RanchRoper]

Picked up more #11 CCI caps at my LGS last week. Tops up my inventory. Lots of primers there, all sizes.

Well today at the LGS if you own a 9mm or a SW 40 you would be in high cotton....plenty of it on the shelf. 45 ACP was full of only SD 20 round boxes
and some rifle ammo. decent amount of powder and PRIMERS!!!! Saw some Triple 7 and Pyrodex too.

[markiver54]

Went out today and bought two new ammo cans. Just trying to be optimistic. I did need them though to keep calibers better organized.

Made a trip yesterday to my favorite LGS in Coeur d’alene Idaho. They are moving and had a store wide 10% off moving sale that includes guns and ammo. The only ammo I was looking for is .410 and of course they didn’t have any. I did pick up a bag of Starline 41 mag brass for 10% off. Somehow my wife managed to find two pair of boots and a Vortex plaid shirt. I guess she’s a better shopper than I am. I looked for a Henry .410 lever shotgun but they didn’t have one. They had a huge amount of ammo, lots of Hornady bullets and some odds and ends of powder.

A year, less a few days since this thread started, and ammo was rare and expensive. In the last month or 2 locally is barely acceptable, and is still expensive. Given what Vista Outdoor sent out about price hikes this spring, I don't expect it to get any better than it is right now. So I made a trip to my LGS, and spent $140 on .22lr, .22mag, and 9mm (with my discount). You might think I needed a shopping cart to carry it out to the car, but no. It all fit easily in a small plastic bag. And this was the (use to be) cheap stuff.

This is my ginormous haul.

[markiver54]

Better than nuttn' I guess.

[GunnyGene]

Better than nuttn' I guess.

Yeah, that's how I felt.

[RanchRoper]

I am a little surprised that ammo has not dried up around here to the extent as some other places. Depends what you shoot I guess, I hear that 45-70 is scarce and some other hunting rifle calibers. But 22 seems to be in abundance.
