Starting to see more powder. I picked up a couple of pounds of CFE 223 this weekend, seen maybe a dozen of different other kinds I wasn't interested in. I'd like a couple more pound of H335 and some Varget. When it comes to primers, I seen quite a bit of cci small rifle and some small pistol over the early summer but that has been dried up the last 3 weeks or so. I seen some large pistol primers the other day, haven't seen those for a year. Large rifle has been non existant as well.
Bullet selection sucks, I've been looking for some 40 grain bergers in 20 cal. I suppose I'm going to have to break down and buy some at online prices soon, my barrel should be about done.

The only place there should be an ammo shortage is Washington, DC.

We started getting some on shelves , picked up 223 ammo the other day at Cabela's . Got some shot gun shell's also. Still no 300 ultra shell's, or 30-06 or 270.
Let me sugar coat this

So Wally World gets the ammo in and sells it at the normal mark up and they are not on our side? Confused
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I bummed some 30-06 shell's off my uncle, but he just said Walmart in Sioux falls some. We are going to look around today for ammo. Does sound like south Dakota have more to offer for ammo than my area does.

Walmarts here have moved trail cameras and such into the ammo cases...........don't think they plan on moving ammo back in but I do hope I'm wrong. They are still selling guns.

Stopped in Tulsa last Friday and managed to score a couple boxes of bullets that had been impossible to get. Price was in line with pre-panic rates... Maybe a buck or two higher, not outrageous.
However their powder was through the roof... Reloder 22 was $60 a pound. But I'm thinking that wasn't necessarily gouging as much as it was trying to keep it on the shelf and prevent hoarding/reselling. I don't know... But it stayed on the shelf. I can drive 20 minutes down the road to Claremore and get powder cheaper... $43 a pound. Not great, but doable.
Primers were outrageous too... They wanted $24.99 for a 100 ct sleeve of Federal 215 GMM... They stayed on the shelf too... I've got 1000's of Rem 9.5M's I'll use up before I pay that.
Ammo was plentiful for the most part. Some chamberings were still missing, but it was better than I had seen in a while. Still fairly spendy though.
It's slowly getting better. I'm hearing scuttlebutt from local dealers that it's supposed to be a lot better by the end of August... Who knows.
