The Kearney Cabela's store seemed to have what looked to me like a lot of 9mm and .22 rimfire today. Never priced the 9 as I don't use it, the .22 rimfire was from around 12 cents on up. Didn't need any so didn't buy any. Did get a piece of 3/8" steel plate to build a swing target with this winter, dang, that stuff is expensive too. Ask about primers and got a good laugh from everyone in the department.
 
I am seeing Bass Pro, Cablea's, and Scheels with tons of ammo in the metroplex these days, but some calibers are simply not to be found. And choice can be limited. 30-06 is available, but only at $40 a box for premium hunting ammo, nothing for target shooting in quantity.

Primers are available intermittently but only in some sizes and configurations. Large rifle magnum is nowhere to be found.

As much as I wish we had pre-pandemic prices, I can at least be happy for prices high enough to keep ammo on the shelf rather than nowhere to be found.
 
I went to Bass Pro last night to get the early jump on Santa pictures with the kids.

Pretty sparse selection in the ammo aisles other than premium hunting and self defense ammo and shotgun shells. I did see lots of Win white box FMJ for $79.99/100 and one little row of CCI clean .22 LR at $6.99/50. :(

I think I have more guns in my safe than they had on display in their racks. :thumbdown:

I bought some brushes for the .41 and some more .22 cal patches.

Stay safe.
 
I got a Dick's Sporting Goods gift card from a well meaning family member. Figured I'd have trouble finding anything I needed, but found out they're useable in the Field and Stream stores too. So I drove 25 miles to go in one for the first time.

Most popular semi-auto handgun ammo was in stock, at around 60 cents/round.
Lots of centerfire rifle ammo at high prices.
.22 Aguila $20/250
.22 Rem GB $40/525
.22 CCI Stingers $13/100
No reloading components, but I got a 10 pack of LNL bushings with my gift card.
 
Went to Cabelas in Virginia yesterday. The had plenty of 9mm and 40S&W range ammo, 5.56mm, 308, and 12 gauge buck shot. Federal and Remington 9mm in the generic looking boxes was $21.99. The lowest I have seen brass case 9mm online is $19.99 so when you factor in shipping the Cabelas price was basically the same. They had Frontier and Winchester 55 grain 5.56 for $13.99. That is also comparable to online.
 
The stuff that my local Walmart has been getting in stock is priced anywhere from about 5% higher (Remington 222 @$24.94/20, Winchester M80 7.62x51 @ $21.84/20, and 350 Legend at $14.46/20) to 25% - 35+% higher than it was one year ago for .22 Rimfire and 12 and 20-gauge shotgun field loads. A year ago they weren't getting much of anything in, but they hadn't changed their prices at that point. Now, they're starting to get a lot more in, but at the above-mentioned price increases. They had a good bit of Federal Auto Match (decent quality but DEFINITELY not target grade) 22 LR at about $22 for 325 rounds, which is up about $4 from what it used to be, and still a pretty good deal by current standards for plinking ammo.
 
There is a Cabelas and a Bass Pro about 15 minutes away from each other in Western St. Louis. Occasionally you can find some semi decent prices on 5.56 winchester white box military reloads (11.99 per 20), everything else is still selling for twice or three times what it should be. I'll melt my .22 pistols down into machining stock before I'll pay anything more that .05 per shot. If I can reload 9mm for .17 per shot, I'm not even going to look twice at boxes of 50 that are priced at $20 or more.

For some reason you can find at least 1 or two boxes of .350 Legend at semi decent prices just about everywhere I go, but I doubt I'll ever have a rifle chambered in something like that. The same for cartridges like 7mm-08 and 25-06. I guess so few people have rifles chambered in those rounds around my neck of the woods that they've survived sitting on the shelves and the stores have marked the prices back down to pre-Ridiculous prices.
 
My LGS is advertising 9mm at $22 per box of 50. Since I remember a time when it was as low as $9.99, that's a hard increase to take.

The Wal-Mart in Thayer, Missouri, was out of ammunition altogether except for a few boxes of .22 LR and some 28 gauge shotgun shells. Guess the panic continues up here.
 
When I visit daughter and family in Sellersville, Pa. my son in law and I go to the Cabelas in Hamburg and the main reason is to stop at the nearby Logan’s Roadhouse since Cabelas usually has nothing interesting to buy….. yet.
 
i am seeing 22lr, 9mm, 40s&w, 45acp in quantity at a not-outrageous price, even some 22wmr and 380acp, but 38sp isnt making a comeback yet.
