Ammo Availability - SE Indiana

Went shopping to Greensburg today with the better half. She had a few stops to make. First off we hit rural king. While she shopped, I perused the Firearms/Ammo section. Not a bad selection of firearms but I'm not needing. Like dont need ammo but was checking. The ONLY handgun ammo I saw were few boxes of 22LR and 4 Boxes of 38 Special. NOTHING ELSE. Even the long gun ammo was in very short supply and a bit expensive. So on to Wally World for her next stop. Easy find there -- Big Sign "We do not sell handgun ammo". They had a few rifles but none at the clearance level prices. So while she wanted to hit Goodwill for a little while, I hit the other two lgs's I know of in Greensburg. Again not very much in stock. The one had 4 boxes of 9mm hp's in the 20 pack for a good price. Did see 4 boxes of 44 mag for 37.00.

I hadnt been shopping around lately so I guess I now know what people are talking about. Sure glad that 1.) I am pretty well stocked up and 2.) I reload almost all my calibers. Also glad I have a pretty good stock of reloading supplies.

Guess since the libs cant get the guns, they will somehow shut down the ammo trail. Either that or we are really buying it all.

Just my observations for a lazy friday.

2-5 million first time gun buyers this year. Even if they only bought a single box with their new purchase, that's a big chunk out of the market.

And that doesn't even account for the rest of us (more millions) that may have gone out and bought a few (lots?) extra after seeing the writing on the wall.

Ask those working at the LGS (if you can get one away from assisting a firearm purchase) -- ammo comes in at the new market prices and it's gone in days.

About what I've seen. A few boxes here, a few boxes there and that's it.

Just found at bulkammo 1000 rounds of wolf .223 steel going for $505. Last time I purchased 1000 rounds of federal .223 brass at $299. I knew prices were climbing but I didn’t know it was that high

Global Ordnance had Tula .223 steel at $283 per 1k while it lasted today. It's just very difficult to catch the "reasonable deals".

Man that’s way better than anything I’ve been finding. I appreciate the tip as well, I’ll have to look them up and see what’s available.
