Availability of ammo, .22lr specifically.

[sparky32]

dont bother going if you are lookin for ammo.... unless you have lots of money to blow.

i am goin to be at the 1500 on friday. i was hoping to end up walking out with about 1000 rounds of 22lr, but after reading lots of other price posts about other gun shows lately i doubt it will happen. they yesterday at the cabelas in hammond they were putting out federal value packs, 525 rounds for $24, so i ended up with two. still going to the 1500, but my focus with be steel or self healing targets, about 100 rounds of hornady critical duty 9mm, a bolt action 22lr (like a marlin xt-22), a pump action short barrel 20 gauge shot gun, and a matte steel finish taurus public defender.

Check out Bobcat Steel. He'll have a booth in the "accessory" building at the 1500 (room to the left when you walk in). Walk in the shot and go directly to the building on the left. He'll be on the wall to the right.

Also, you can check him out on his INGO forum here: Bobcat Steel - INGunOwners

Or his website here: Bobcat Steel | AR500 Steel Targets

I recently picked up one of his AR500 steel "popup" targets and it's great fun!

there is more than one building?? its my first time at the 1500...its also my first time at the indy fair grounds. i thought the show was at the south pavilion, i figured it was just one huge building.

Well, it's essentially one big building but split by divider walls into 3 sections usually.

The section (or room) to the left when you go in is where Bobcat Steel is located.

I have 4 of his targets and love em. They go with me every time I shoot.

I have been avoiding gun shows lately. There is one coming up this month at the old K's Merchandise in Fort Wayne, but I am afraid that it will be a feeding frenzy as well. Takes the fun out of the gun shows when everyone is running helter skelter around the place. Sucks.

 

[Glock4life]

My Buddy Greg from Precision Ammo will be at Indy as well as Ft Wayne selling factory reloads. I shoot them and the perform great.

60-75 dollar bricks count on it

If you're in Zionsville look up 2nd Amendment Arms in Whitestown. It's a small place but Marshall keeps a good selection.

Thanks for the tip. I'll call first thing tomorrow.

I once watched a Shooting USA profile of CCI and they make 3,000,000 rounds a day of .22, multiply that by Winchester, Remington, Federal that 12.000.000 rounds a day! Not counting the other manufacturers. Hard to believe there there is a shortage of .22's But of course they may be scaling back to make other caliber. But still somebody must be buying a $hi!load of .22's. It does look like thing are lightening up a little. If you have a .17 HMR or a .270 you can still find ammo at most Wally worlds.

that all they had at walmart on south 31 friday and saturday. lots of shotgun.

Read an article awhile back where our main lead mine in Missouri was down to mining medium grade ore, and one big smelter was shut down due to massive pollution of river and ground water, along with big fines. If it takes more time and money to get lead into the market place, do the math. Start spending your dollars on rough, and not on fluff.

His store is on 650 E (the main north-south street) in Whitestown in an old bank building. Being Whitestown, you can't miss it. I think it's open 9-5 Monday-Saturday.

 

[jgreiner]

sorry couldnt help it. my guess is 525 federal packs will be around $60

They were $75 at the Lafayette show.

 

[junior438]

nope they know the ammo is in hight demand right now, so they use that to their advantage and put more money in their pockets

Everyone has gotta eat.

You guy's are delusional if you think you're going to go to the 1500 and find any deals on ammo.

Keep checking Walmart's, and Gander Mountain. Ammo comes in and goes out just as fast.

My guess would be (unless you got there really early) some of the prices may have been lower, but you saw the $75 boxes cause they hadn't sold. Lower prices *may* have been around (though probably not pre-panic prices) but sold before you could see them.

Just a guess.

This. If you legitimately just don't have the money to pay more for ammo, stop by walmart on the way home from work. It's hit and miss (more miss, though). It's the cheapest place around.

Otherwise, buy a couple boxes for too much and be happy till this all settles down. And it will settle down.

Anyone have any idea what 45 ACP & 9 mm will be going for

 

[Gadgetmonster]

Saturday at the Kokomo show 22 LR was scarce as hen's teeth.

I saw two bricks total as I walked through at 11 a.m.

Bought a guy's last one, Federal 525 count for $50.

Second and last box I saw at another table. The AssHat was selling a 525count for $110. He had other ammo all way above market price.

I don't count on finding any ammo at the 1500 for a reasonable price.
But there better be a really nice Smith and Wessonmodel 22K or model 18 with nice blue and perfect grips for $450 J

$.50 per round cheapest
$1 per round on the high side
