JohnQ Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Has anyone tried to buy any ammunition lately? I can't find 40 S&W or 9mm anywhere but online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinkrun Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Been going on for a while I looked at some 40 s-w ball ammo at the local hardware last week it was $30.00 a box. The good self defense ammo is even harder to find and pushing 2.00 a cartridge. Any one need any 380 I have some left and no gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good self defense ammo is even harder to find and pushing 2.00 a cartridge. Any one need any 380 I have some left and no gun? I bought the last box (200 rounds) of 223 from Joes. Seems if you can find it, the prices are way inflated. I have a 380 and sure would take any donated ammo... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I have friends that say it is slim pickings out there. We had a local Sporting Store go to all the Walmart's in our area and buy up all their ammo. Then they greatly marked up the price :fs1: . Now the area Walmart's sell max 2 per customer.

aemsee Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Just ordered a thousand rounds of .40 from Georgia Arms, but they had no 9mm etc. bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Its a country wide issue, supply cannot keep up with demand. Everyone is worried about gun grabbers... WHY THE "F" DIDN'T they VOTE!!! It happened with Clinton's first term as well, but didn't last this long. Might want to think on reloading. Of coarse right now, that stuff is not available either. :eek: :fs1: Primer cost is almost doubled, powder is up 25-50% and projectiles are non existent.

wolfpackjeeper Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Dad has hand loading stuff for all his calibers, but all of the dies for the press he bought are on back order. He is hoping to have them next month. Powder and primers he thinks he has enough of now, which is good since they are almost on nationwide backorder as well for any sizeable quantity. He also has probably 200lb of lead ingots in the garage. He has only had one FTF with the hand loads so I think he is done buying factory ammo for a while. I am looking into buying a 45 here soon. The new Para Ordinance GI looks like a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hmmm.. being a shotgun guy.... I'm having no problems whatsoever.... Just bought .410 for the lowest price I have found in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 My nephew who is a --------- in the ----- Guard does a one year Middle East tour every other year. When he comes home he always brings me a case (1000 rounds) or three of Winchester 9mm FMJ 9mm rounds. He keeps our family home boys supplied w. all the 9mm and/or 45 cal ammo we need. 'Course he won't tell me how he gets it, but knowing him, it's strictly legit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpackjeeper Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 eagle, have you had any break in issues with it? I was looking at a Rock island, but for the price diference the Para looks well worth it. I know MSRP is like $599, but a lot of places used to sell lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpackjeeper Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I hate the president. thats nice, constructive, and contributes to this discussion. Especially since the reason that we are out of ammo is because Obama keeps buying it up and stockpiling it so you cannot have any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your lips zipped or he could be in a world of hurt. It's legit; it's expired range ammo, it's not "given away" to a "civilian". Don't ASSume.
