Dammit.<br /><br />Over the last couple of years I've been stocking up on everything else and have a lot more than I could swim with in 8 Mauser, 7.62x39, .45ACP, 9mm, 7.62x25, 32ACP, and even .25. Everything except for those itty bitty 22s.<br /><br />Just bought a 45LC pistol and think I got the last four boxes of ammo anywhere for a little while.<br /><br />Paid dearly for them too, but prices will likely be back down by the time I ever shoot them all up.Neil A Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190094795400035347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-60431995762122446332013-01-23T08:15:50.542-06:002013-01-23T08:15:50.542-06:00My local Meijer.

No 22 long rifle.<br /><br />And recently...in what I consider a sign of the Pokkyclipse, they've run out of .30-30 ammunition.<br /><br />Seriously.<br /><br />This is in Central Ohio. If I was located in a town that bordered another state (because all the states around Ohio but Ohio one can use rifles to hunt, but not here) I might not consider that to be noteworthy, but normally they have about 60 to 80 boxes in stock, in 4 types, now it's all gone. They haven't had 22 since...well, I can't remember. I'd been putting a box or two of something in my shopping cart for quite some time now just for principle, either .30-30, 22, 38, 357, something.<br /><br />Glad I have been, I recall back in 2007 I had decent stock, but couldn't replace it. Folks who talk about "maybe buying a box of ammo" amuse me. Seriously...if your ammunition stock is a single open box that's mostly empty, why the frog do you own a gun for?Pakkinpoppanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-44345924823043377202013-01-23T06:46:43.321-06:002013-01-23T06:46:43.321-06:00And yet I'm as gentle as a newborn lamb.And yet I'm as gentle as a newborn lamb.wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-80978977226489181342013-01-23T05:44:12.070-06:002013-01-23T05:44:12.070-06:00I, too started buying .223 ammo a few years back e...I, too started buying .223 ammo a few years back even before I had my AR. This was when the Commie won (stole) his first election. If memory serves I think I stockpiled about 5500 rds. About 50/50 reloadable/steel case. I used to buy Remington .22LR at Dick's (aptly named)when it was on sale for $14.98 for a brick of 500. Got a ton of the Federal 333s at a closeout about 10 years ago for $4.95 apiece. All my buddies used to think that I was nuts. Look who's laughing now.......dumb bastards. I used to get bricks of all manner of primers, too when they were still about $10/1000. I think that they're about 3 times that now. By the way, I would never be one to post a shitty comment here.

It ain't just the ammo they're gouging. I keep telling folks, if it's not a normal (or close to it) price, leave it be. If it all drops in the pot, there's gonna be ammo to be claimed.<br /><br />TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-33492392827600871492013-01-22T20:34:03.290-06:002013-01-22T20:34:03.290-06:00Yeah, no shit, huh?Yeah, no shit, huh?wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-7073826395557880752013-01-22T20:08:46.156-06:002013-01-22T20:08:46.156-06:00If something does happen, you will never run out f...If something does happen, you will never run out for the rest of your life, either.ASM826https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-44335948366470694662013-01-22T19:27:42.178-06:002013-01-22T19:27:42.178-06:00Timely post W.C.

It was a multi-purpose visit, I wanted to buy some ammo & check the status of thier AR line as well as check on a 45XDS. They had Boxes stacked on top of boxes of ammo (except 223, NONE in the store), there was no line I was first and purchased 200 rounds of 40 for my new M&P 40 & 200 rounds for my S&W 357 model 19. I made a comment to the guy about the price, they went from $34.75 to $36.75 per hundred since I was in there about 3 months ago, the attendant shruged and said "they went up on us".<br /><br />There was not a single AR style rifle in the place and the Man.'s (not a single one) will even commit to a back order date for delivery.<br /><br />It was a fun end to a good work day, speaking to all the elderly gentlemen sitting on the front portch.Devil Tonguenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-31548050055334436282013-01-22T19:11:15.188-06:002013-01-22T19:11:15.188-06:00Bought a box of 22 .lr Choot It CCR rounds at Jun...Bought a box of 22 .lr Choot It CCR rounds at Junta Trading Post 2 weeks ago for $27.
