Went to walmart and Dicks at 5:30 pm and wmart still had 7.62x39 and 357 left. Dicks had .22 and 223s (expensive at dicks)
Yes, getting better. I share the same opinion and my opinion is also based on boxes sitting on real-life shelves. Gunbot is a joke.
One delivery does not end a crises.
Reasonable is a fluid term and totally dependent on ones prespective and yes I wss buying ammo at what I felt were reasonable as late as this past Monday.Well, it ended someones crisis, just not yours
And when did it go from a consumer driven buying bubble to an outright crisis? Weren't you just buying ammo last week for reasonable prices? a crisis to me is when NOBODY can get ANY amount of ammo at ANY price.
There are always lines here and there at times. I just prefer to not stand in them like a duck if at all possible. Where there's a will, there's a way.. and knock yourself out.good for you certaindeaf, more for me...

Its a crises when I have to arrive 2 hours before the store opens in hopes that I will be able to have first pick at what little ammo does show up. Just like this past Monday when after arriving at 6am I find myself third in line which meant I had the option to buy a 1600 round can of CCI mini mags as they recieved 3 that Monday.
Its a crises when the only ammo available is Tula 7.62x39 and Monarch 9mm.
Its a crises when you don't see 40s&w,38special,45acp,357mag and other calibers at all.
Its a crises when you can only shoot 2 out of the 24 matches you normally would have shot since the first of the year and of those 2 matches you quit halfway through to conserve your ammo.
Its a crises when you start thinking about giving up shooting all together.
I can't get the ammo I need for practice. I can't get the ammo I need for matches. So yea its a crises from my perspective.
BTW explain how the manufactures who claim to be running at full capacity yet the distributors claim they have no ammo. So where is the ammo going? Who is doing it? Five months in and people still have access to cases ammo to sell on auction sites while the rest of us are scrambling for a few boxes of ammo. How? Every dealer I know of limits ammo purchases to a few boxes. There is another straw in the drink.

My local Academy will have as many as 8 lanes open to handle the morming rush. Lines with as many as 45 people in them is common. An equal number comes drivivg up on Fridays beteeen 0800 - 0805. Even at a one box limit per caliber with a max of 3 calibers most go home empty handed. If you are not one of the first 10 in line your chance at buying ammo is slim to none unless they get a larger than usual delivery.
