I've been comparing the online bulk ammo stores (thanks for the new link). Have made recent purchases through Bulk Ammo

Palmetto state armory has free shipping right now, I think all summer. They are backed up on orders so it may take a few days to ship but I ordered 500rds of 7.62x39 for $112 shipped.

Election years must be like the holiday season for ammo manufacturers.

I ordered 3,000 rds. last year. Some of the ammo I bought is currently 30% more expensive now. Hopefully after the general election prices will drop again.

Bound to happen with the election drawing closer. Glad I have a 30-30 and a .45 LC - always more of those around. Need to load up more on .40 though.

We create our own problems, by everybody running out and buying up all the ammo. Then guess what, yep you guessed it, we have an "ammo shortage".

No better way to ignite panic buying/boost ammo sales than sending out a letter warning of an imminent ammo shortage.

Very true. In a down economy what better way to create sales than fear.

Most of the Wal-Marts around the area on almost out of ammo. The ones that have ammo have increased their prices. I can still get most ammo at a decent price at local gun shops though. PSA has free shipping and some good prices.
I'm just glad that I need my supply stocked up. Who knows I might sell some off to make a project once we get closer to election time.

I had the problem along with everyone else on the last shortage. I would go to Walmart at 11 at night to see if they had anything and they were usually out.

This time I am far wiser. I got my reloading operation started and I am currrently sitting on plenty of ammo in every caliber I need

If I get bored or have some extra time, I simply stroll down to the basement with a cup of coffee, start my ipod (hooked into speakers of course), and calmly load a few hundred.

Worst time to buy a generator is during a power outage.. Worse time to need ammo is during an ammo shortage... Just sayin' - prepare yourself in advance and you shall not find yourself wanting.

It's ironic, the only ammo shortages I see, are the ball ammos in 9, 40, 223 at the distributor level, but what usually happens is the price increases when the inventory levels go up.

In the high dollar stuff, I'm seeing no shortage, especially in price.

I was at the walmart on Grant Line Road last night and it did seem a little thin, but you could get what you want.

Right now 5.7x28 is either non-existant or overpriced, and some SD ammo like HST is hard to get (many places were out last time I checked).

Panic buying for the win. It was the same during the last election. Then things cooled down. Now people are panic buying again.

Pretty much, I just wish I wasn't so low on ammo as the panic is heating up... Got plenty of 9mm brass (500 nickel plate, 1000+ brass) not much .223, not much 7.62x54R, and no powder, primer, or bullets, though I do have access to those.

I'm sitting on probably 2k .223 brass, 2k 9mm brass. I do not shoot a lot of .308, I have maybe 140 pieces of brass. The only thing I need to stock up on again is bullets, primers, and rifle powder.

In the Indy area it has been hard to find ammo you have to be there when the truck rolls in to have a chance to get some.

I just found bulk 9mm 1000 rounds for 149.99 shipped. I have been out of shooting for about 4 years so this seemed expensive to me, but the guy who sold my better half her first pistol thinks it is super cheap. Thoughts? I believe it is WPA.

That's about average for Wolf/Tula. Steel cased, right?
