Did I miss the memo on Ammunition stock-pile?

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?

Good question! We have a few calibers and brands show up every now and then (they don't last very long) but I haven't seen a single Nosler and they are only a couple hours from here.

I can’t find 7mm-08 ammo anywhere. Has this run on ammo been going on for awhile? Where or how are y’all getting the ammo you need?

LOL. I thought the same thing while looking for 6.5 creedmoor ammo. I asked a couple of places and they said, "Election and COVID." I might agree to COVID but I call b.s./market manipulation on the election. EVERY time a democrat is coming in the shelves are bare...I just don't buy it any more. This is why I have a standing habit of always picking up a box or two whenever I see it....

Might be a good time to try a 270 short mag. Those seem to stay on the shelf.

Saw plenty of that and the .30 WSM the other day. One store had 3 Savage Axis lefties on the rack. Lefties seem hard enough to sell as is, but who will buy one in 6.5 Creed with no ammo around?

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.

Shoot me a PM with what specific ammo your looking for.

They are selling it. As fast as they can and making massive profits.

I think you are severely underestimating the amount of ammunition the people are buying....

Central Florida gun owners camping out for ammunition

People started lining up in front of the door at Academy Sports + Outdoors in Lake Mary as early as 2 a.m. on Monday waiting for the doors to open at 9 a.m.

Most aren't hoarding for themselves they are hoarding for the resale. Fing scalpers!View attachment 170082

This is the problem.

I think you are spot on.

They sent it all to the east. No standard calibers in stores near me but if I owned a 28, 30 or 33 Nosler I’d be all set.

Yep heard there was a line over 30 people at academy a few days ago. Crazy

So would it be better to not order it online?

I wasn't there to buy ammo but yes if there's ammo in stock just order it online as long as it's not marked up. I'm also not sure if they're restocking everyday or how often but I usually buy ammo in the store as opposed to online, just a personal preference.

Found some Bh209 today! Feel like i won the lottery! It'll help me sleep easier before applying for 3 muzzy tags.

I hear you on that. Kind of the same. If I am out and see a box within price range, I'll pick it up. But if it's getting low and I've got time - I buy online.
