Inversely... It seems the shortage doesn't apply if you have a .300 Savage. I've seen more components and ammo for that chambering lately than I've ever seen before. Go figure. If I knew which powder they were loaded with I might be tempted to buy 'em, pull 'em all down, and reuse what I could to load for my .308

always the issue of whats enough

a year ago if you asked me if 500 rounds of 308 was enough I might have said yes , I get less and less sure every day.

One of the memes in the Meme Thread kind of hit the nail on the head. News reports make a big deal of a man arrested having 2 guns and 100 rounds of ammo in his house. Most of us have more than that in our trucks

If it's readily available than you don't need much on hand. The harder it is to find the more you need to have.

Gander Outdoors has several pallets of 12ga & 20ga ammo. They also have all sorts of odd ball metallic caliber ammo.

I saw a 333 pack of 22 LR on a auction last night. It was $75 and had an hour to end. They had two boxes of Rem 12 1oz 7 1/2 shot. One was $21 and the other $19. A 5 pack of 00 buck in 12 ga was $12. Some people are nuts is all I can tell you.

It's still hitting shelves. Taken this morning. That's about 16,000 rds of 556. It'll be gone by closing.

9MM ammuntion back in stock January 28th at 10AM EST!

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE FAQ BELOW BEFORE ORDERING:

- WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS OVER THE PHONE, VIA EMAIL, OR IN-PERSON AT OUR FACILITY. YOU MUST ORDER THROUGH OUR WEBSITE.

- Approximately 300,000 rounds will be made available on each inventory update spread across 115gr, 124gr, and 147gr evenly and updated every 72-96 hours. Our production capacity is approximately 125,000 per day and by limiting inventory updates we can better time production to shipping.

- We are not accepting dealer, wholesale, or special orders at this time.

- We will not be sending out emails on every inventory update. If you would like a reminder, please sign up for our in-stock notifications available by clicking on the individual product, or monitor our Twitter page (as of now, our only social media account).

- Inventory will be updated at 10AM Eastern Standard Time, +- 5 minutes.

- On average, our inventory has lasted only an hour or two when updated. Please do not send us angry emails if you miss out. We are doing our best to manufacture items as quickly as possible given the limited supply of materials, but the demand FAR exceeds the supply and we simply cannot give special priority to anyone.

- Pricing will be updated as materials are purchased. The price on all of our components goes up EVERY WEEK from our suppliers, and we must act accordingly. If you feel our product is not worth the price, we encourage you to purchase elsewhere.

- You can expect orders to take 10-14 BUSINESS DAYS to ship out. Do not send us emails asking for updates. You will not see an "update" from us until the order ships. By creating a customer account, you can view your order tracking information once it is updated. You will also be sent an email with a tracking number when your order ships. DO NOT EMAIL US ASKING FOR A TRACKING NUMBER UNLESS YOU HAVE SURPASSED 14 BUSINESS DAYS.

I went and looked today and they had several 50 ct. bags of Winchester brass in .300 Savage... I didn't see a limit on brass but they were limiting ammo to 1 box per customer.

Lots of .270 brass too.

it cost a lot of green to tool up , to up your production,if you don't make your money back while demand is high to pay for your expanding business 'tooling /shop, ,you could end up with financial problems and lose everything, you can't just tool up over night it take's time.if demand were to die off you could be sitting on pricey tools that are just idling..

Went to a local gun shop for a new castle nut they had some ammo and were limiting it to 5 boxes. I got 3 boxes of tulammo even though I don't like that brand. But if it hits the fan and I need it or if someone is desperate I can use it or sell it lol

A cousin posted on fb yesterday he can't find ammo lately. Told him it's been like that for about a year. He said he's stocking up because of the anti gun bills Biden is pushing. He then said he voted for Biden too. Had to shake my head
