Topic: Ammo Shortages

[John Florida]

I picked up a thousand rds of .40 S&W yesterday for $110.

 OK I'll bite,where?

Wouldn't you like to know 

 

You remember that Dillon 1050 I said I was picking up. The guys were using it to make new cartridge ammo to sell to law enforcement. I couldn't just take the machine for such a cheap price 'cause it didn't see right so I gave the man an extra  Ben Franklin and suggested I take a box. How could I refuse?

I kow he has more and check to see how many boxes he's willing to part with. Stay tuned if you can.

 Thank you. Now buy all he'll sell and use it to trade for whatever you can.

Things are looking a bit better. I was up in North-West Wisconsin this weekend and at the Solon Springs Mercantile Store they had plenty of ammo. I got a couple boxes of 9mm @ $14.00/box. They had a nice selection of hand guns and I would have bought the M&P 40 they had but because of the stupid laws  a Minnesocold resident cannot buy a hand gun in Wisconsin, however, a Minnesota resident can buy a rifle there. These laws make no sense.

The more Democrats the more laws. 
Sure hope y'all find a replacement for Michele.
A good one.

I don't get it either, either you can buy or you can't, shouldn't matter a damn what state you are from or in!  Founders would be Pee-Issed over such bureaucratic bullsplatter!  They'd probably gang up and kill some folk.  Oh well, not today.  Seeing as I got kin on both sides of the river...we can at least get around their stupid laws.

If I'm understanding this conversation, it's a states rights issue.
With a decentralized system each state makes its own laws and
may make the determination how it sells items.  Just as some
states tax a sale and others don't.  Wisconsin doesn't appear to
be a business friendly state.

Right now it seems like local stores are the better option for obtaining ammo.  I think the big online vendors are where everyone goes first for large orders, and they continue to be out of stock.  Last weekend I went through a few hundred 9mm and I want to replace it. I still have a lot of 9, but I try to stick to a system of buying more than I shot so the net total slowly grows.

Didn't think I'd ever see something as ubiquitous as 9mm and .22 become so impossible to find.

Had to go into town today. Got to the Walmart at 6:45AM but no ammo had come in. Maybe next trip.

Went to Wally World a couple days ago. Had 4 of those evil black guns, but STILL no ammo.

[Glock32]

I still can't find 9mm anywhere.  I have quite a bit on hand, but I hate dipping into my stash.  I like to at least replace what I shoot.

If you are looking for 5.56 ammo, here is some: http://www.sgammo.com/product/surplus/900-round-can-556mm-62-grain-fmj-adi-ss109-f1-ball-ammo-plastic-packs-0

I have always heard good things about the Australian surplus.


And here: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/13695/s/palmetto-state-armory-geco-5-56mm-100rds-and-1-imi-5-56mm-magazine/

100 rounds with a IMI magazine thrown in for $59.99.  I ordered a few of these, haven't received yet, but Geco is a high quality Swiss/German brand.

Nice!

Took the day off to get some stuff done, managed to hit the local Gander Mtn store at opening, about 30 of us waiting for the doors to open...managed to get two boxes of .22LR 40gr HPs for $7/ea and 3 boxes of Win 55gr FMJ 5.56 for $13/ea., and the .22LR flew off the shelves and is gone.  Some other rifle rounds about, not much for pistol except a lot of 45LC which I have plenty of.  Lucky to get what I got.

What do you shoot in .45 Colt?  A Taurus Judge?

What do you shoot in .45 Colt?  A Taurus Judge?

I have one of those and two rifles that shoot it too.  The judge is the least accurate revolver i own, though.  I have always been a S&W and Ruger man. The Taurus stuff is not as well fitted I think and does not work as smoothly. (I loved the idea of the .410/.45 long colt revolver though.)

Okay, now I just have to get some of these.

I'll wait, I don't care.

Pork infused bullets for the islamofascist in your sights.

[trapeze]

And you can actually order the stuff...

That is, it's in stock.
