Anyone notice ammo supplies getting tighter, or is it just me?

[deadeye]

Wouldnt worry until the reloading supplies start to dwindle. I stock up when the ammo is cheap so if shortages come I dont need to buy at inflated prices or hunt for what I need.

There talking about the same thing on GB forum,A ot of FFL's say the army is building up because iran..

Could be spring is in the air and people are going shooting?

Don't knock this theory. I worked in a plant nursery in high school. On a cloudy day the sun would break through. 20 minutes later the parking lot would be full. I've seen it happen at motorcycle shops too. I'm sure the same applies to the shooting sports.

I'm just the opposite. I haven't hunted ducks in 20 years, but the first cold October day I go buy a frozen log to sit on and rent a wet dog to shake on me.

Thanks for the feed back, guys!

"To be continued." I guess.

I've not had any problems finding steel cased 7.62x39, I've been stocking that. Might just be certain calibers.

over the last couple months I've been noticing through talking to some of the local stores that even though they are stocked on the shelf they don't have any in the back to put out after its bought up and they are going on a week to week basis, talked to a few family members that are spread out over the states and they have seen a little "thinning" but nothing to bad.

When I was at Bi Mart last week the Remington Rep was there and I was wondering where all there ammo was. He told me that they (Remington) changed their billing and shipping program and procedures. They are currently backed up over 240,000 orders right now as per him. They are sorting out the problems, but with them it goes deeper because they supply other ammo manufactures items, so its not just the stores ar hurting, its everthing/

I went to a local sporting goods store to check prices on some rifle cases. I noticed they had only one ammo can of the M855 the OP mentioned while I was there. I went back to the same store the following week to purchase some cleaning supplies and they had 3 more of the M855 420 round cans. I think it may just be the stores, not the supply.

 

[rolandson]

I just picked up a 420 round box of 5.56 at Northwest Armory this morning for about 150....they had a whole bunch of it and 7.62 sitting on the floor, with a load of other stuff as well. Didn't look like any kind of shortage to me.

 

[locobob]

I stopped by Bi-Mart yesterday hoping to find the cans of Federal M855 but was told they had none and that it was not a regularly stocked item

 

[deen_ad]

However, who could have predicted a year later that people that don't own firearms, would be lining up to buy 4 boxes of ammo for a gun that they do not own?

I bought some boxes of 9mm, than had to go buy a 9mm to shoot it, does that count?

I like that! I'm going to use it as an excuse to by an AR-10!

Honey, this is the only way a can shot the metric "S" load of .308 we just bought!

I'm sure I'll get the usual "Whatever, Steve! I'm going shopping!"

Went the Expo gun show last Saturday. Got there around 1:45PM and went straight to AmmoSurplus, but they were already out of the bulk 10MM. Went through the rest of the show and back by Surplus Ammo around 4PM and they only had a handful of boxes of ammo left on their pallets(around 8-10 pallets). Lots of people at the show leaving with guns and ammo. Heard vendors say that they hadn't seen so many people since the election.

 

[lucifermonkey]

Wallyworld was just about cleaned out at two locations yesterday.
My guess is on hoarding.

 

[Angler]

People are stocking up for 12/21/12...............

 

[bikejunkie]

Went out looking for 9mm today at lunch- Bi-mart in Woodburn, and Wallyworld both sold out of all 9mm and nearly out of .40 s&w...Bi-Mart did have a nice deal and plenty of stock for Cci Mini-Mags for my .22 rifles and my Mosquito...

Here we go again... No reason price wars for the possibility of ban, laws change, blah, blah. The people that win are the retailers and the lobbiests. Bah!
