45 ammo availability

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed 45 auto ammo can be difficult to get? Went to Walmart, since it the cheapest around here, to get some to practice with and they're out. The guy said they had quite a run on it thus week. This was in Bedford, BTW. Anybody else seeing short supplies too?

For .45 acp FMJs? Nope, I see a lot. I'm starting to see more 9mm, .40 S&W, and .380 lately, but .45 acp ammo is still plentiful from what I've seen.

Check the bloomington MC Sports. Call them every now and then. Occasionally they run pretty good deals on fiocchi .45 fmj and hollowpoint. I stock up when they do.

Good to know....do they advertise when they do that? They used to have a flyer in the Sunday paper IIRC.

Must be a regional thing. I can't ever seem to find WWB .45 ACP at Wal-Mart near Fort Wayne. They have everything else, just no 45.

It's either a store allocation thing or there's more 45 shooters in different parts of the state.

That's the plan...trying to accumulate plenty of brass.

no problems locating it. Martyville had plenty at Wallyworld last week. MCSPORTS is stocked pretty well, Bradis has a bunch, same with ACME. Have you tried anywhere else other than the one Wallyworld?

.45s kinda short supply around here too,(ECI). Seen a lot of 9mm and .40S&W, .223's getting in short supply also.

One reason I just got into reloading. Cheaper, and you do not have to worry about Chinamart being out.

Dicks had plenty of FMJ Remington UMCs.

Westfield Wal Mart is hit or miss. I would say 50 % of the time they have it. Prices have gone up 10% in the past 2 months though.

I bought some at my local shop last week, saw a bunch at Bass Pro earlier today, and my Wal mart had several boxes of federal. I hope it doesn't dry up round here!

Reloading 45's is fun for me. Can't remember the last time I bought factory 45's. Cast my own bullets and keep the brass. I have guys at work bringing brass to me there too. The walmart here in Terre Haute has lots of everything, but seems expensive.

Try Walmart over in Chapel Ridge on Maysville rd. They are always stocked full of .45.

I never seem to have many issues finding it at most all of the Walmarts around Ft Wayne.
