I can tell you one thing, the Ace down the street from my house sure as hell doesn’t sell gun powder.
Did I miss the memo on Ammunition stock-pile?

The Ace in @antlerradar ’s part of the world does.

That’s pretty cool. I can picture a large portion of the clientele at mine clutching their chests at the sight of gunpowder.

Same goes for anyone, we have a pretty decent assortment if you know where to look. If you need something PM me and I will check. I charge for the gas to get it and shipping. Otherwise you pay what I pay.
Please include a budget as well. I don’t want to pick something up for you that I’m going to end up getting stuck with.
NO Powder, I can’t ship it.
Ammo I bought today was significantly less than Midway who is out of stock on that caliber. I should be able to ship it at what it would of costed to buy it from them.

Just put a nice AR 556 up for sale at a local shop for $1200 with 300 rounds of green tip lake city, I think they were more excited about the ammo than a solid mag pull furnished AR!

All I know is I am holding out for the super DUPER low prices after all this hysteria is through, then backing the truck up. You saying I should make myself comfortable for a LONG wait?
If something about the logic of waiting for low prices to buy like crazy (which is what many people new to the game might be hoping) seems like economic gibberish - it is. With millions of new gun owners and many new reloaders, even once supply comes back online, price floors are not going back whence they even recently came from.

That Ace price tag might be older than a third of the posters on HT.

I used to go to a little convenience store in Dayton Nevada that had liquor and handguns for sale side by side. Used to buy ammo and components at the Long's Drug in Carson City. mtmuley

This is a true story...
I was at Cabelas just for something to do Saturday morning.
I thought they opened at 9 so we got up and ended up getting there a little early. I was not shopping for anything in particular but just seeing if there was any good after season deals. When we pulled up there was a line of 30 people (Mostly older people 60+) at the door. I said to my wife "oh there must be a big sale today or something".
So we sat in the car and then they opened the doors at 9:00AM. We walked in once the line cleared out and I asked the lady at the front "Hey do you guys have a big sale or something?" She said "No, those guys are here every single day for the last 2 months buying up as much ammo and reloading supplies as they can before everyone else gets here"
Well, the joke was on them because it was pretty cold out and there was 6 boxes of 28 gauge shells on the shelf and 2 boxes of overpriced turkey shells. lol
No doubt these people were buying and re-selling any ammo they could score at a premium price.
Also, they had about 25 guns in the entire store (Including the 10 pistols under the glass). Normally they have hundreds.
The gun counter had been shrunk down to something the size of walmarts gun counter and that wall had been filled in with backpacks and other stuff.

I found a single box of .410 #9s after a few weeks of searching. Now I can wound pigeons for food.

I cannot even find 308 win ammo in stock online not just what I was looking to shoot but any 308. My Walmart has been out since before hunting season. Getting a little worried now.

I agree. There seems to be 2 different types of people. People who are prepared for times like these ("hoarders"), and people who are unprepared in times like these (people that call people who are prepared hoarders). I can't figure out why it matters to people so much. This seems to happen every 2-4 years. Quit bitching about the people "hoarding" and prepare yourself next chance you get. By the way I'm one of the unprepared guys. Durango Mike is awesome and helped me continue my new hobby of reloading.

Digging around in my ammo and reloading I found about 1500 rounds of this. I was hoarding before hoarding was cool.grizzly63

I'm not a hoarder. I'm not the best capitalist. I just saw 2500 small rifer primers on the shelf that I'm pretty sure I could have got my money to grow fives times on the listed price. I don't shoot small rifle primer cartridges. I left them for some needy soul, hoping the hoarders(yes,I said it) and the capitalist leave them alone. They will not last a day or more there. I think they are limiting to 500 a purchase. I was happy to get a brick of 22 for $19.90. I recently got a Golden 39A that I plan to shoot a bit this summer so now I have the needed ammo. One brick is not hoarding in my book. Live like you want to live. I still believe things will continue to get better if we give it a chance. I'm a little more concerned with the grocery shelves not being fully stocked. I would really like to see that turn around but I believe that is covid induced. Yes, I do have a freezer of game meat. Do not garden and the grass is a little too frozen to eat right now.

So if all of the ammo makers are running flat out 35-7 what are they doing with all of the stuff they are making?
