Who needs 9mm Luger ammo?

You're kidding right?

My local Walmart now has shelves full of the hundred round bulk packs for 20 bucks a pop, the panic buying around here is over.
 
Yep, somewhat, I just saw 9mm, 45, and 357 in the local store. Not a lot, but enough to have a long practice day.
 
Haven't seen much WWB at the local Wal-Marts lately but they are getting regular supplies of Blazer Brass 9mm and .40 S&W.
 
I have to give Walmart kudos for not jacking their prices. Local Wm stores are now frequently having stock of handgun staples, like Blazer Brass 9mm 50 count for $9.48, and WWB .40 100 count for $29.88.

Nothing at my Wal Mart either. I went last week and they had 2 boxes of winchester jhp 45 so I grabbed them. still at 25 a box of 50 not bad price. Haven't see any 9mm or 22 bulk in a long time
 
It seems some areas of the country are starting to see inventory again while others are still hurting. I take it as a good sign that there is any improvement anywhere and I hope that once it gets rolling supply will catch up with demand and prices will come down to a more reasonable level.

That $30 brick of Thunderbolt 22s and $70 box of 380 FMJ just about freaked me out.
 
I've seen prices go up in wisconsin but honestly haven't been to a store that has been "out" of anything.

Many hunters in this strange state but apparently not too many gun nuts.
 
Instead of posting where it's not, let's try posting where it is, ok? If you find a good deal on ammo, add it to this thread.
 
CTD also has some REALLY REALLY expensive S&B .380.

I'll pass, but for those who bought a .380 three months ago, and still haven't shot the darn thing, it's an option.
 
Been trying to get some from a few places. But plain old FMJ is hard to find.

Got some back ordered, but cabelas pushed that back. Walmart has had like 3 boxes of 44 mag, and 357 sig, wwb in the past 5 months.

I just want to shoot, cheaply.
 
ammo

wal mart shelves in san antonio still a spiders heaven, bare and no sign of getting better!
 
rbernie, thanks for the update, and all updates on finding ammo!

HOWEVER: I as well as others took note of how CTD screwed with prices and they are no longer that cheap. I for one wouldn't buy from them, and I tried to find them at the NRA convention to let them know but somehow they forgot to come.
 
I understand the anti-CTD sentiment. I was/am as pissed at them as anyone else at their early/rapid transition to price inflation. I have heard their arguments defending their behavior, and I was generally unimpressed. They are local to me and I know some folk who work there (and whom I respect), so I wanted to not feel that way about them - but I did.

However, I will give them props for putting out this current batch of ammo at something close to pre-election hysteria prices, which is why I both bought some myself as well as advertised it to others who may have a need for some...
 
Ammo at any price is better than no ammo, period, which is what's going in Oregon these days. The WallyWorlds here are bare; I haven't seen any 9mm in more weeks than I can count; ditto any .22, other than .22 short. I ran into one box of .32ACP at a WallyWorld in Central Oregon and was verbally chastised by a guy two spots behind me in line for buying it ahead of him.

I don't care much for the folks who raise their prices time and again to take advantage, but I do appreciate having the opportunity to buy something if need be, even if the price is north of ludicrous.
 
I found a few boxes of WWB recently. 100-round box of 9mm at my local Dick's and even a box of .45ACP at Wal-Mart. While I do need more 9, I couldn't bring myself to buy overpriced WWB. I'd rather scrounge around for reloading supplies.
 
In many ways price gouging will help stop this madness, which has been caused by us for the most part.
 
I haven't seen 9mm, .38, or 45 ammo at local Big 5s in over 3 months, and most of the gun stores in the area haven't had ammo shipments in these chamberings in 2 months.

The only ammo I consistently can find is .40 ... and I do not have a .40 gun.

Is anyone else seeing a lot of .40 out there. If this remains the case, I may buy a .40 just to be able to get ammo (even though I'm not too big on the chambering).

Will this ammo shortage ever end?
 
The Walmarts here only get in a few boxes at a time. That is right, boxes, not cases. It is gone as soon as it hits the shelf. Walmart has raised it prices here also. I just paid 36.79 for the value pack of 45 auto. Six months ago it was 32.79.

But, at the Portland gun show a few weeks ago there was more ammo available than there has been in a long time. A lot of off brands also and the prices were up there as well. But, at least you could buy what you needed.
