Anyone noticing ammo availability improving?

[Mike Ryan]

I buy from a particular online retailer who shall remain nameless because of where I live. I have alerts set up with them for a bunch of calibers and my phone has been pinging like crazy for the past few days. Prices are still high, but at least there is some availability. PM if you are looking for a name.

Mike.

 

[308pirate]

Yes, more primers are showing up in ammoseek as of late

 

[Mister Ridge]

Shotgun ammo. Rifle very sparingly showing up but at stupid prices. Not keeping up on pistol or rimfire.

Check CCI if you need anything they are nearly daily early around 5am....sold out daily as well, but you have several hours to get CCI SV probably 4-5 days a week. Works out to $55 shipped for 500.....10 box max per order.

 

[NoDopes]

Lots of ammo showing up around Dallas, Scheels also has had primers for over a week (limit 3 sleeves/day/type).
Looks like Remington is kicking out a lot of ammo now also.

 

[diverdon]

I've noticed some prices coming down.

Pretty funny got an alert from SGAmmo on Remington Thunderbolt been trying to find some for a buddy. He's got it priced over CCI SV pricing right now.....been sitting in his warehouse for 2 days occasionally check to see if any has moved....sitting.....it will keep coming down.

 

[KML7201]

More ammo available but the prices still suck.

 

[Kamerad]

Yes, I’ve noticed an improvement. I finally got my hands on a box of 6.5 PRC 143 ELDX.

ETA: At MSRP pricing.

 

[salks]

Last week I found a 1000 ct. Box cci 450`s at cabelas and abrick of blazer .22lr. Each was under $50. They limit the quality you can buy. The guy told me they find items in strange places through out the store. People go in buy what they can then hide the rest in the store for the next day.

 

[BullGear]

It's getting better but the prices haven't improved much.

 

[sheepdog697]

Availability is definitely improving, especially on reloading components. I would expect prices to come down slightly in a few months. I think it will be years (if ever) before they return to precovid/election prices.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Haven't noticed. But I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices right now.

 

[BoilerUP]

1000rd of bulk 115gr FMJ 9mm is now $550ish, compared to $750-800 four months ago.

 

[Bringtherain]

I just saw 5.56 at Academy for around .50 cent a round. I was shocked they had any at all. they haven't for the past year. they had 5.56, ,308 and some pistol ammo. still pricy but not as much as it was

 

[Douglas-001]

 

[BullGear]

I saw 147 gr 9mm for under 50 cents a round. First time in many, many months. Federal American Eagle junk, but hey, it's proving the prices are coming down.

 

[Flyingbullseye]

Seeing some improvement and some ammo prices, mainy .223 are slowly coming down. Primers are still worth more than gold though.

The problem with the primers is the limits. I can find them all day for about $75/1000, but when you add hazmat and shipping it’s well over $100 on a 1k limit.

 

[LawnMM]

Mile High has ammo for days

Only suckers shop for primers at retail

 

[MCSO1357]

Scheels around here had couple of cases of Winchester branded M118LR on the shelf, boxes of 20 were $62.99 each.

Fuck. That. Shit.

You just call vista and have a pallet dropped off?

There are places out there right now where you can do so with a contract. That's all I'll say about that.

Come on brooo

 

[softcock]

Could use another couple case of 545x39 for everyday plinking . Where's all the steel case Commi crap hiding at ?

[Clob McStrunk]

Slightly better choices and quantity of those choices here in the Chattanooga area, but prices are still stupid. Although it does provide entertainment watching the mouthbreathers pay out the nose for 2nd and 3rd tier offerings.

 

[CNC-Dude]

I bought a box of LRP and SRP at my local gun store in N. Ga 2 weeks ago reasonable. I walked in and bought 2 bottles of Retumbo for $40 each last Friday. I paid that same price over 6 months ago at the same place.

 

[Ruger1300]

My local sporting goods store got in a couple thousand rounds of 9mm at .46 a shell before tax. They had a 3 box limit and it was gone in a couple of hours. I haven't seen that much ammo in quite some time. They also got in CCI MM HP at $11.99 a box on a 100 with the same 3 box limit and they still had some left today. It is getting better around me locally but prices still suck and if you aren't actively looking your SOL

 

[Jolliec]

Must mean the hoarders are running out of money

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Yeah I found some hornady match for a buddy at a local place. 140's- $49/box! Wow.

It is getting better, slowly but surely. I got some. 75 Hornady BTHP for like .26 ea online just now. Not great, but at least it's getting better

$49....why pay that? Can people just not wait! Stop buying for 6 months!

 

[JLTX]

I have received more email notifications from Target Sports in the past week than in the 6 past months. LGS has 4x the ammo today than 2 months ago. Prices have come down off the peak on popular 308, 9, 45, 556, 12 and 6.5.

He has a new rifle and wants to shoot it. That's why.

That’s exactly my scenario.

 

[Ravenworks]

Fuck. That. Shit.

I was paying $0.50 a round last year at Target Sports and thought that was high

 

[Texasflyer]

Went to walmart earlier and got my alotted 3 boxes of cci .22 target. 3.75 a box of 50. They had 270 also

 

[Oldloser]

It was $49 or so. And it was "service grade" which has a .5 to .8 mil spread and an SD around 40. Good for max point blank shots but nothing else. I cant get 3 out of 10 inside a 3/4" black dot. My "garbage" FM 175 SMK has 9 out of 10 in that same dot.

 

[BullGear]

Still no new ammo in my local gun stores. Don't know aboutWalmart, I don't shop there very often and I was there with the wife over the weekend.

 

[10ring'r]

Yep, but, imo, it's shit ammo, but, ammo never the less. Slight per rnd. price drop also.
It's coming back, but, I'm still waiting for Match shit to start hitting the shelves again.

[acudaowner]

when pricing starts to level I will smile a bit ,but until them I see nothing nothing worth getting happy about still no powders or other reloading components . like the song says It don't mean a thing

Manufacturers Say Ammo Shortage Will Stretch Out for Years

“On certain products, we are certainly seeing backlogs that stretch out two years and beyond,” Brett Flaugher, president of Winchester Ammunition, told The Reload. “For those who shoot 9mm and 5.56 ammunition, which are both in high demand, it’s very uncertain how long it will be before people...

There is plenty of those 2 calibers available. You just have to pay up for it. Just go to Ammoseek, there is a plethora of companies selling ammo of all calibers. So, I have a difficult time believing that there's a 2 year backlog.

 

[Fx51LP308]

I believe "availability" is improving somewhat. Prices.... not so much..

 

[_Windrider_]

I can find plenty of garbage ammo but nothing that is quality.

 

[Powder_Burns]

Last time I looked around m80 surplus was selling above match grade prices.

 

[308pirate]

I shot about 700 rounds of Norma and Belom 9 mm at a class two weekends ago. All that shit when bang when I pulled the trigger and hit whatever I was shooting at.

So, not shit ammo IME

That's good to know. I was a little apprehensive of the Norma ammo. Thanks!

Norma is world class stuff. Belom, I wasn't too sure but ordered it after watching a couple of youtube reviews.

At the end of the day any ammo made anywhere in Europe will be just fine.
