Hi guys .
I just made the rounds of all my usual haunts & everyone's ammo supply is overflowing with every round you could possibly imagine with the exception of .22lr thanks to all the hoarders that are picking it all up for $25 a box and reselling it for profit.
One thing that really surprised me was they had 30-40 Krag & .303 British which has been next to impossible to get locally for a long time unless it was ordered online.
Big 5, Sportsmans, Cabelas, Fred meyers and everyone else has chit' piles of ammo. The only place thats still poorly stocked in the ammo department is Wally China Mart which I don't understand but I really don't care either.
luckily for me they did have an ample stock of 380 and 7.62x39 Tula so I picked some up.
I found the MFS x39 & pmc 380 ball fmj @ Cabelas. I've never used the FMS before, but I am guessing it's reboxed steel case spam can ammo because inside the box it's still wrapped and stapled in paper just like spam cans. it doesn't matter to me and it still shoots good especially when its cheaper than Tula at wally China Mart at $5.50 a box.
the wolf & Winchester is from Sportmans ...
I am betting with all the ammo I have seen around here in stock I would have to say it was somewhere around 500,000 rounds if not more. The shelves and displays are all packed and what they couldn't get in them was stacked in big piles on pallets everywhere. Even as poorly stocked as Wally China Mart was they had numerous pallets of Tula 380, x39 & 54r which is also what they had the most of.
With 350+ firearms and firearms accessory manufactures just here in Idaho, it makes me wonder just how many of them are ammo manufacturers. I know we have CCI / SPEER here, I guess I'll have to see who else we have around here ...
