By now everyone should have stocked up...
Same here. The ammo is more and more common. I could not find any for nine months, now I see ammo every other week at walfart. I only wish they carried 9mm in Federal, it is made right here in MN! They carry .45 and .40, but no 9mmI don't think the ammo shortage is near as bad as it was. I went to 2 WalMarts yesterday. One had Winchester 100 round value packs of 9mm, several 50 round boxes of Winchester 9mm, and several other handgun popular calibers. The most ammo I've seen in stock in a while. The other one had 9mm in 100 round value packs, 9mm in the 50 round Federal packages, as well as ton of other handgun calibers in both WWB as well as the Federal stuff. It used to be you didn't see it unless you got there as they were unpacking it. Seems like the only stuff that's super hard to find here now is rifle ammo since it's hunting season and that only seems sold out at WalMart.
Shotgun and centerfire ammo is getting pretty easy to find, even at Wallyworld. .22 rimfire is next to nonexistant, I have not seen rimfire at Wallyworld in over a year.
Yeah, about 74% of it! I don't know about ATK, but Olin Brass, the largest supplier of ammunition to the various branches of the U.S. Military, law enforcement and other commercial contracts, attributes around 26% of their income from "sporting goods" retail sales.The military consumes a fraction of the ammunition that the American civilian market does.
people shoot bullets they typically don't just buy it and store it...The shortage of ammo last year was blamed on a dramatic increase in ammo purchases. By now everyone should have stocked up but the shortage continues. Does anyone have an concrete answer for the continuing shortage of everything related to ammo?
Yeah the one near our house doesn't carry it but the one 45 minutes away does. What I really want to find is the Federal 30-06 Power Shok ammo. I know of a couple that carry it but none of them ever have it in stock when I check.Same here. The ammo is more and more common.
