Is there any end in sight for the ammo shortage?

Just saying they should learn how to shoulder the rifle instead of buying a boatload of rds for a gun they obviously don't know how to use.

The medical condition i suggested was sarcasm...

JTO, Not sure what platform you are shoot 10mm out of but light loads out of a 1911 are a joy. Not are smooth as a 9mm out of a full size 1911 but close. I love the 10mm round.

I use a Glock 20 and yep it's a soft shooter

Life will just go back to normal where all the 2000 dollar guns everyone bought in a panic will start collecting dust under the bed again.

500 rds of .22? i go through that in a single afternoon shooting ground squirrels. yes, there are that many ground squirrels.

i reload for my other two cartridge rifles. i've probably gone through over 500 rds. of .308 this year, so far. not tons, but respectable, IMO. as for the .223, i was shooting that thing like crazy until the ammunition dried up along with reloading components. i'll put 100 rds down that pipe this weekend at the range, though. then, i'll reload them. again.

good times.

I'll print that out and take it to the store with me. Much better price than the stuff in the ammo cans, and I have plenty of empty cans to stash it in if I really need to look like I'm stocking up for armageddon.

I can find pretty much anything except handgun calibers if I hit all of the local stores on their delivery days for 2-3 weeks straight. It's progress.

Nice recovery I was just about to jump your sh## on your shooting abilities

note that they have a disclaimer about internet pricing vs. in-store pricing. i'd just order it online or call them first. they also make a fine AR, IMO.

there is a pair of fields at a crossroads that we call 'carnage corner'. the first time we went there to shoot squirrels, the ground ground looked like it was moving.

I was in Cabelas recently and they had a good supply of 380auto and 9mm as well as 32. Didn't check 40 or 45 though. They did have a 5 box max per customer rule though. No 22 to be found...

[flatbutt]

no .22.....are the manufacturers not making it? jeez

[J P Stein]

The guy at the local Bi Mart had some .22 early the morning, last I was there.
The shelves are filling with other stuff.....albiet slowly.
5.56mm was there.

[red-beard]

just got an e-mail that a bunch of .22 had come in to one of the on-line store. $4.99 per box. Wow! Then I saw it was for a box of 50!

5-6 years ago, WWB 9mm was $4.99 for 50 rounds at Wal-Mart.

[BlueSkyJaunte]

So, in other news, I ordered a 6.5 Grendel AR barrel from Alexander Arms in October of last year. One of their standard products.

It arrived yesterday.

[legion]

I just got notification that the .223/5.56 carbide dies I ordered from Dillon in February were shipped...

[krystar]

my local walmart's been stocking 100rnd bulk Winchester white box of 9mm. i got 3 boxes and there were still at least 10 more. 45 acp's back up too. 380 also. some expensive 5.56. even some 00 buck and slugs.

but 22LR is still non existent

[red-beard]

Is it simple hoarding or are the manufacturers not making it?

I can find 22lr in certain stores but some of the prices are outrageous. Something like $125 for a dry storage box of 1000 rounds. Pre panic I could find 500 rounds of 22lr for around $15 a box.

I think it is a combination of hoarding and manufacturers making what they get the most profit on for now.

[john70t]

Who's got molds and a cutter/press?

There is money to be made out there.

[Rusty Heap]

I'm still loving my .22 pellet rifle, no gun powder required.

single cock break barrel, 2 stage trigger, high quality german made. honest Chrono'd 750-800 fps.


RWS Diana RWS 34 Striker Combo, TO6 Trigger. Air rifles

plenty of fun for plinking, even 250 feet out.

500 pellets for $11-12.
