Ammunition
Have been searching for more ammo, .223 or 5.56 - any grain, fmj and hpbt. Every place and site I have checked is sold out, even steel cased Russian surplus ammo. Every time I find something that says "in stock" changes to "out of stock" when you add it to your shopping cart.
I'm getting a headache from searching. Does anybody know of a dealer that has any in stock? Last edited by Mr A.Anderson; January 12th, 2013 at 02:29 PM. |

Not for that caliber....yet.
Just purchased my first firearm in that caliber yesterday. Only have a bit over 1000 rounds for it, so on a purchase spree. Last edited by Mr A.Anderson; January 12th, 2013 at 02:59 PM. |

Wow, sold out in 10 hours. Folks, get your ammo while you can!
I have bookmarked that website. It appears to be a notification site, ie when somebody finds ammo somewhere on the net, they create a listing there. Much easier to use that than searching for hours all over the place. I had to order a new recoil spring for my Sig last night from Midwayusa.com - and took a look at 9 mm Luger JHP availability. They had hundreds of listings - that were all out of stock. |

I was unaware of the shortage until I went to buy some hunting ammo yesterday for my 308. The ammo shelf looked like the bread shelf does when a hurricane is coming.
What's up with this? |

The Obama administration is considering the same for ammunition, and could enact such by Executive Order, bypassing Congress completely. Get your ammo while you can, it will be the new gold standard. |

I've been to two big-box sporting goods stores, two super Wal-Marts and a mom-and-pop sporting goods store and a dozen online retailers. None of them have any 308 180 grain ammunition. No 270 ammo. No 30-30 ammo. The only thing that seems to be widely available is 30.06. Wow, this got bad fast. I had a big pile of bullets and I've just been dipping into them over the past couple of years without replacing. I had no idea it was this bad. If anybody comes across a box of Winchester 308 180 grain bullets, please let me know. |

Think about this.
How many millions of firearms were sold just this past month? Now multiply that by the complete unavailability of ammunition for anything. How many tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of rounds have been bought by concerned and angry gun owners? "A gun behind every blade of grass" .......and a veritable shit ton of ammunition for them. |

I was going through the stores and there seems to be 270 in a lot of them. I personaly havent seen a shortage of that one.Though anything .223 or 7.62 is just not there.

A .35 is a considered a 'primitive' weapon for purposes of hunting in primitive weapon deer season. It's not the type of gun that the masses would buy. But there's no ammo for it to be found anywhere. |

There has been a run on everything. .35's aren't a common round to begin with, and are usually only stocked with a few boxes on the shelves. Just ask yourself, if a .35 was one of your weapons, and you seriously thought there is going to be an ammunition shortage, wouldn't you buy every box off the shelf?
That's what has been going on here, panic (for good reason) buying. Specific rounds like the 9mm, .223, .308 - because of the weapon platforms that shoot them (and magazine capacity) are being targeted with bans - people are buying up every scrap of ammo for them. Once those start flying off the shelves, people start buying ammo for all of their guns....just in case..... The ammo problem should work itself out in a few months - laws of supply and demand and all. That is unless there's restrictions put on production/manufacture or if the government is buying it all up. I've heard recently that even local law enforcement is having a hard time finding rounds. |
