I can now get everything I need/want around here pretty regularly. Only exception is 22LR is scare but does pop up.
If you haven't seen it in a year you aren't looking in the right places.
Thats an indicator of things loosing up I hope.I'm finding a LOT more brass on the ground at my favorite shooting hole. Must be coming from somewhere. 45, 9, .308, .40, 223
I think most people around here in WV are still holding onto the mindset that there will never again be any ammo.I know guys who are sitting on thousands of rounds of 22 lr and still buying up anything they can find.As long as we keep buying it up and storing it,the shortage will continue.It's getting better,but we need to be patient.Plain and simple,more people than ever have gotten interested in shooting,so it takes more ammo.If we keep paying way too much for it,we're gonna keep paying too much for it.The law of supply and demand is very much in effect.Once it starts moving off the shelves slower,supplies will loosen and prices will drop.The glut will take effect,and all will be well(hopefully).
I currently buy just as needed for the gun range ... I'm definitely NOT stocking up my long-term supplies with cheapo 115gr Federal running $29 + tax and 5.56 above .45 cent per round...
All of the Walmarts in my area ONLY had 12 gauge ammo for most the year until last month. Now they are packed full of everything but 22lr. People are still lining up 5am in the morning waiting to buy it all.
I am blowing up poster of that first post. Maybe hang it in the family room. With a caption underneath, that says, The Way it is Supposed to Be.
