Running my gunshop trap line lately showed limited improvement in availability and pricing. S&B 9 mm 124 grain fmj was in stock where I used to work at $18.99/50. Everything else they had was out of sight. Farm store in town is getting a pretty good inventory with varying prices. I grabbed four boxes of Remington Gun Club 1150 fps, 1 1/8 7 1/2. $7.99 per with four box limit. They had about 40 boxes on the shelf. Had some 1 oz game loads also. Top Gun, 7/8 oz 12 ga!!! Were $10. Pass. Aguila 22 lr h.p. box of 250 at $19.99. CCI 22 lr HP 300 rounds 30 bucks,! At least some is showing up. Found 650 Rem 209 ($25) at a third shop along with 1 pound of Green Dot $35 and some Nitro 100 NF at $24. 12oz cans. Still have another town to visit.
 
I'm up in LaSalle County in IL. It's still scarce but slowly coming back. Looked at Walmart while I was there, they had some 22, 270, 308, 350 Legend (they've pretty consistently had that the whole time), and random shotgun shells from what I saw. I haven't bought in awhile due to price and availability, but I also shot minimally last year. Basically just for my CCL renewal. Hoping to actually do some rifle shooting when things warm up this year.
 
I think those $5 boxes of 12ga target loads are long gone. Even Wal-Mart is selling for about $10 a box now

Agreed. I just found some more Gun Clubs at $7.99 while everything else, and all with 1oz payloads or less, 8.99-10.00.
 
Just went to the LGS in Plymouth, Indiana. They have fully stocked shelves. I mean obscure stuff like .218 Bee, .30-378 Weatherby, .300 Savage. Thousands of rounds of 45, 9mm, .223, etc. Wide variety of 6 and 6.5 Creec.
 
The ammo shelves at the Scheel's in Springfield are stacked with 9mm, and just about everything else except .410 shells, 7.62x39, and 10mm. Not sure if the prices are back to 'normal' yet
