A Good Sign?

Is it possible that the ammo shortage is starting to come to an end?

Scored the above at the local WallyWorld; they're still clinging to (ha!) a six-box limit, and while I could have picked up 6 boxes of the WWB 100 ct. 9mm, it was $2 more than the Blazer Brass I scored ($21/100 vs. $9.50/50). The cheap bastard in me won out; I opted for less ammo at the cheaper price, and didn't even feel bad about cleaning them out of 9mm. I would have gotten another box of 9mm, except I'm taking my blogson to the range and figure we can drag a .38 with us now...

And now comes the fun part - loading up to go shoot some of this stash!

That is all.

Damn, prices are up. I just paid $20/100 for 9mm WWB last week. (unless you're including sales tax) (I buy all my ammo in NH)

Score!! Yeah, it looks like the frenzy and shortages are finally starting to ease up a bit. Cabelas had ammo on the shelves last weekend, while BassPro was almost bare around the same time. The gun shops are starting to calm down around here too, which is good.

Now, if the places I buy online would fill out their offerings a bit more (.380 acp), I would be happy.

It is easing, but I'm having a hellva time finding .38 ammo other than self defense! Enjoy the range!

I saw a good bit 9mm blazer (not brass) last week at Academy $12 for 50. WWB 9mm NAT0 $13 for 50.
Gander had UMC 250 for $80. There was a whold flat cart when I first saw it 1 1/2 Weeks later still have some.
Wally World still can't be beat for price. Federal 9mm 50pk $9 had 40 boxes Fri mroning Fri Afternoon Gone.
