A walmart in a town south of me had quite a selection of .22 rounds and various other stuff. Far from full but its a start. Scheels is stacked with a few calibers but they want good money for it. The walmart wasnt price gouging. I have plenty so i only got some .410 to kill some rabbits with. Hopefully one guy didnt come wipe it out for everyone as i didnt see a limit. A small slice of normal for a change.

I noticed our local rural king finally had real ammo in stock. 5.56/.223 ammo has been plentiful around here, though prices till recently was 1.00 a cartridge. Think the stuff at RK the other day ranged from around $0.75 to $2 on .223/5.56 depending on brand and type of load.

It's getting better albeit slowly.

Good to hear. Shelves aren’t as empty on the ammo here. Reloading supplies, on the other hand, are still nonexistent. I have been slowly stocking up on bullets and once fired brass, but powder and primers are not to be found locally.

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.

Our Walmart had a little ammo. I got the last box of 22’s. They mostly had large odd caliber left on the shelf.

I started a thread last week telling about I found 22 at Walmart and paid 18 bucks for a 325 round carton. Geez would have thought I committed treason for going into the Walmart because my wife told me too. Paul had to pull it because of the usual suspects.

Haven't looked at walmart because I haven't been their in over a year.
I frequent2 gun shops that didn't have the problems getting ammo or reloading components.
Y'all seem to forget whos side wallyworld is on.

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.

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.
