eek ammo, ammo and more.
I needed some more 30-06 shell's and my Uncle give me some.
He reloads and said just save the brass.
I'll be happy to do that.

I just think a guy should of been prepared as this time around it just happened back in the Barry days the ones that did not ready for the storm never will it’s tough to feel sorry them it just is. I’m short on STW ammo but I’ll wait until some comes around not like I could draw a elk tag in the last 30 years so no rush. LOL

I dont have a problem with high price ammo. i stay stocked up. Always have. Same with food. Why wouldn't you? Thats just life in rural America. people in urban settings who live only blocks from retailers buy as they need it. So when they cant they panic. i am getting tired of constantly watching for stuff i may need or a neighbor needs. Bought one neighbor two boxs of 9mm the other day at 23 a box of 50. would only let me have two. he was happy though. I wanted some 243 nosler bullets. Was a little short on them. I have ammo but like those bullets. Did some trading for some. Worked out but it does get old.

At the Fleet Farm in Wausau, WI today there were about 40 bricks (500 rds) of Remington Thunderbolts at $37.99 with a limit of 2 per person per day. Quite a few boxes of 9mm target rounds at $19.95 to $21.95 a box of 50. Did not buy any as I have plenty but was looking for primers which they did not have. Oh well, at least some ammo is showing up at not egregious prices.

I have had really good success on this site - way better prices than locally - read the reviews and take into account the shipping cost

Natchez has some more reasonable prices coming out lately if a guy is not in any big hurry I’d say just ride it out until the supply is greater then the demand and things get real.

PSA is slowly dropping their prices Natchez is slowly coming down also if people stopped buying it up the prices would go down quicker.

I was down in Illinois yesterday running errands and decided to stop by Bass Pro in Gurnee.
Went in looking for primers, which they have plenty of LRP and SRP, but no 209s or #10 caps.
Okay, can I get the last box of Federal. 22s?
(clerk)Sure, need to see your FOID
I'm from Wisconsin, don't need one.
(clerk) Only Illinois residents can purchase pistol ammo
It's rifle ammo, says so .22 long RIFLE!
(clerk) No, it's pistol ammo
crazy
Will not be going there anymore

I can't believe you passed up large rifle primers! I haven't seen any on this side of the state in a long time.

I'm sitting on 1,000 LRP and 1,000 LPP, that's going to last me a long time.

I haven't seen any type of primers here and I look multiple times every week. A few gun shops, bass pro, and two academy sports stores. Last week was the first time I had seen primers, Academy had some CCI large rifle #250 for regular price.

There's a reloading shop in my area that has kept powder in stock, and midway usa has had the powder I use for shotgun in stock for a couple weeks now. I got lucky a couple weeks ago and caught cheddite 209's in stock at ballistic products for $37/1000. I bought a case of them. Things are out there, you just have to invest a lot of time and effort into finding them.

As far as ammo, Bass pro and academy are getting everything here. I even bought some 30 carbine from bass pro the other day for a gun my grandpa left me. They have 270, 30-06, all the regulars. I don't really pay attention to handgun ammo because I could care less about having a handgun, but rifle and shotgun ammo seem to be coming back.

Large rifle and large pistol primers have been non existent up here.

The powder situation seems to be improving.

Now if only I could find some 40 grain .204 berger bullets.

I bought a 555 pack of .Winchester 22 HP LR at the Pa Roundy in Clearfield for $30. Thought I did good…but last Friday I found a 500 pack of Remington Thunderbolt .22 for $18 at a yard sale. Almost felt guilty buying them.

Don't feel guilty, they are feeling bad selling you Thunderbolts.
Enjoy misfiring, jammed, and barely accurate rounds.

Neither my Marlin or my Ruger have ever gotten along with Thunder Bolts. Feed them Federal or CCI and the mams or misfires probably fall below 1 in 1000.
