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

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread about non-firearm owners buying ammo for who know's why other than for bartering if the SHTF scenario. I was incredulous about this until I spoke to my brother today in Texas and he confirmed that he knows at least two friends doing this. Makes me think: A: ammo is no godd without a firearm to launch it, and B: gun no good without ammo to feed it

Judging by the prices people were asking for the ammo I previously mentioned they most likely still have it. With any luck you are right since all the fears that caused the run on ammo were unfounded.

I would say those "fears" were simply unrealized (this time)... not unfounded (by any means).

Bi-Mart has 9mm 250 UMC Mega Packs with 2$ off and plenty of them -- PDX 122nd.

Bi-Mart in Grants Pass has LOTS of ammo in stock now. 9mm, .380, .45 ACP, .40 S&W and all the rest.

Mega Packs, and single boxes of 50.

Just bought 4 100rd boxes of Federal ball 9mm for $19.97 each @ Wallyworld in Salem. They had plenty more but were out of the UMC 250rd boxes. Basically I haven't ever had much trouble getting 9mm. Of course I never have less than a thousand rounds on hand anyway...

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it

Ammo is the currency of the future.

LOL..so when the SHTF they're basically storing ammo for those that would take it at gunpoint..

For some reason my local Bimart is having an issue getting ammo and primers. They put the $2.00 off on ammo and don't have it. They have been out of small pistol primers also, never seen them out of primers.

Stopped by Bi-Mart to get some 44 mag and all they had was 50 bmg, 12gauge and some 22lr.

Ammoman.com has green tip m855 at $329 for 840 rounds delivered, in ammo cans, on stripper clips. Not an incredible deal, but it's nice that they're stripperclipped. They also have that old Privi Partizan brass case boxer-primed m193, 329 for 1000 rounds delivered. Got one of each. Not the best deal ever, but a pretty decent deal for right now.

Cheaper than dirt has M855 even cheaper last I looked, bulk 1,000 packs

Blast, I overpaid by 30 bucks!

Try Surplus Firearms and Ammo in Lakewood. They are always well stocked and fair prices.

Sutherlin bimart is constantly out of small pistol primers.

Price on M855 has been steadily dropping but a few years from now that $30 will be chump change compared to what it will cost then. The key is buy it cheap and stack it deep and only shoot 10-20% of it

 

[doubletap007]

the only shortage i have seen is 5.56 xm193 or federal 5.56 american eagle locally.
there seems to be plenty of handgun ammo around here but there is a lot of ar15 shooters around here too so im not surprised
that 5.56 ammo is hard to keep in stock when we shoot 300+ rounds per outing.

I stopped by bi-mart and walmart. They had full of ammo.

 

[RWeaver]

I went to the a couple different Walmarts last week looking for .357 SIG. The store in Tulalip had none, but seemed to have plenty of other calibers on hand. Same for the store up in Smokey Point, and they also had .357 SIG. Remington, WWB, et cetera.

Bi-Mart here is fully stocked.
