The Ammo Shortage of 2013

[slamfire51]

Aim Surplus is taking orders for Czech Seller & Belloit .22 LR target ammo that is coming in. Add says it is Eley primed so should be noncorrosive. As it is Match ammo the speed should be in the 1100 fps range. http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.as...+Box&groupid=6 It comes out to about 9 cents a round if you buy a case of over 6,000 rounds. The less than full case price is about 10 cents a round. I'm tempted to order some but a full case is nearly $600 plus shipping.

Good to see ammo coming in, but still a little steep in price.
Hopefully when more and more ammo does show up, it won't be at the crazy ass panic prices.

Scored 3 bricks (550 rnds./brick) at WalMart today. They were $23.97/brick. The clerk said that's the first .22 lr he's seen all summer. This was late in the morning and the ammo was still on the shelf. I think the "regular" panic buyers are slowing down now.

Lets hope so.

Local Gander overpriced Mountain is advertising that their ammo supply is up to what it was before the stampede.

Hoping this is a sign that the government has stopped buying up the ammo and manufacturers are finally able to ship to we the people on in fact used to be "the government".

Why the purple, there may actually be some truth to that.

Went back to WalMart looking for some .30-30 ammo, but they were sold out. I did pick up a bargain box of 100 20-gauge hunting shells for $24. Not too bad in price.

So far, I haven't seen much in the way of .303 British or 8mm. I guess the odder calibers are still scarce.

I received a flyer from Century, and they will be offering 303 and other calibers that are hard to find shortly, if not already.
HOT SHOT is the brand. I know nothing about them. Does anyone here have any info, good or bad?
I also need some 303 for the Enfield.

Keep looking at prices of .22LR and I wish I never new the day when a brick was $6 and if you bought by the case load - 10 bricks/5000 rounds - you got a 10% discount.

I also remember that brick going on sale for $5.

Saw CCI Blazer 525 pack for the bargain price of $39.95.

Just went to a local WalMart and they had tons of hunting ammo on the shelves. .308., .30-30, .30-06, 7mmMag, .270, .243, .223, and quite a few different caliber, centerfire ammo. I was looking for .22LR, but that was sold out. Gonna check out the one in the town I work in tomorrow.
