Maybe in the beginning people hoarded it but Now the stores aren't even getting any ammo in for them to hoard !!! I ask Walmart sporting man if they are getting in any shells he said maybe 5 boxes of variety a week !! Really 5 boxes. Yup,and limiting to one box each.

I ask Walmart sporting man if they are getting in any shells he said maybe 5 boxes of variety a week !! Really 5 boxes. Agreed. My local dealer gets his stuff from a distributor in Dallas... But that distributor isn't getting anything to ship to the dealers. WalMart has huge buying power and is a distributor unto themselves... If they can't get ammo to ship to their stores where is it all going? Mike

most stores still get some ammo , however they sell out in hours even at a 1 or 2 per customer limit.

Having said that... LOL... My local Atwood's had about 100 boxes of Hornady Match 6mm Creedmoor yesterday. Limit was 2 boxes per customer. I don't have a 6mm CM, but gave serious consideration to my wife and I purchasing 2 boxes each and looking to trade with someone who had ammo in a chambering we needed... Or even reloading components. But I thought better of it. Mike

Mike when I found 9mm and 22lr my wife had been waiting int he truck , when I got out there I was very tempted to send her in the store for her limit another brick of 22lr and 2 more boxes of 9mm but I also though better of it , and decided to be glad I got what I did and leave some for the next guy/gal. even though I would defiantly not have been getting it to sell.

I have been buying ammo for years when it was on sale of I needed some. Usually when I needed some I'd buy 2 or 3 times what I'd use. SO after may years I have a small hoard. I must have at least 20 bricks of .22's. I don't think I ever paid over $20 for a brick. Tho I have bought a couple of the smaller 50 boxes of odds and ends type of .22 ammo. Lots of 9mm, 20 ga and some 12 ga.
I have seen some ammo "shortages" before but this is the worst I've ever seen.
I'm at the point I don't hunt as much as I used to. I'd rather go fishing or work around the house/property.
I've talked to one of my sons and asked if he wanted any of my guns. Gave the other son a .45 and about 40 boxes of ammo about a year ago.
My Dad was a hoarder and after cleaning up after his death the last thing I want to end up like is my Dad. If my kids don't want any of my guns I might keep 2 or 3 of them and sell the rest along with all the ammo that goes with them. Seems like now would be a good time.

yup when I find ammo or components then I can shoot the oldest ammo or make ammo with my oldest components.
