Did a small computer repair for trade - he paid me with a box of .38 special. The 'bill' was only $12

.32 S&W I get online at auction. As long as I get it with shipping for about $20 a box I'm happy.

SGAMMO.COM has ammo buy the box or case. Fast good prices sales all the time and When I asked about then not having Nagant pistol ammo, 7.62x38R, they started carrying it less than 2 weeks later.

Damn good family owned company to do business with. Only gripe is ,they're a short drive away ,but they won't sell out the door!

I better go stock up on ammo while I still can...especially since they are tracking purchases!

So the past three weeks I've noticed in half a dozen stores ( Gone ! ) I mean just a few boxes here and there. Bass Pro wiped out a big empty hole, a couple local stores ......a few boxes .....even Walmart pretty much cleaned out .

Now I live in a metro area in the southwest of 2 million ! The other day at Walmart the whole shelf of 223 .....empty .....!

40 cal much more selection. So what is going on ? I purchased the 9mm for just that reason , the long history and availability of this round world wide plus the military use over the years and the lower cost per round .

I saw this with the quality rounds of the 22 cal a few months ago . The CCI Stingers, Velocitors, Mini- Mag . I just got caught up with that now the 9mm.

So any issues where you live ? It's just odd in so many places. Yes I could go on line but the cost savings is lost in shipping .

Another reason to reload. That and I can make them for about 1/4 the cost of store bought stuff.

Found lots of 9mm in FMJ, in 115gr and 147 gr and 124gr. but Academy was out of 124gr JHP where I live. Looks like people are stocking up for the zombies come Nov.

No shortage in Florida...

[cheesewiz]

The ammo truck came ..

Winchester PDX1 .....Hydra Shock....but my favorite the 100 round Federal value pack for just $ 19.97 !! 115Gr FMJ for every day stuff

I love my Walmart .

[WHSmithIV]

No shortage here in Idaho either You can get good prices on-line, just make sure you order enough to justify the shipping. Ammo has to ship via UPS ground (Fedex may also ship it, but UPS is the most common). Shipping for one box is generally ~$14, but add more boxes and the shipping charge generally only goes up by around ~$1 per additional box.

Exact opposite at our walmarts, both of em. They always have plenty of CorBon, HydraShoks, stuff like that- and the cheap Winchstr wb, but they are out of Federal, UMC FMJs all the time. I went to one 5 days last week- they never had a box of either. I usually buy the Fed FMJ box of a hundred- but the last month or so, no such luck. Went to Academy Thurs, their 9mm shelf looked like they foorgot to order anything but Tul and HydraShoks.

All the walmarts around here area always well stocked on ammo, as are the local farm and home places and sporting good stores. Guess I'm just lucky.
