Ammo Shortage?

Just wondering if everyone is expierencing ammo shortage? My cousin is a certified instructor for concealed carry classes. We are giving a class today & we let everyone that wants to qualify with an auto shoot our 22's. You can not buy 22 shells within 50 miles of my house right now. All the ammo has been picked over. Wal-mart has a sign that limits 2 boxes per customer. Not sure what is going on with that yet. Anyway just curious, have a good day!

The latest mass shootings of kids is what's up with that.

That and the reelection of a Democratic president. Soon as the election was decided, the industry became swamped with buyers.

I figured the shootings & the election had the ammo sold out. I was referring to the two limit box of shells per customer. I'm assuming Wal-Mart took it up on themselves to do that?

Just trying to satisfy as many customers as possible.

Same thing happened 4 years ago when Obama was elected the first time. Doesn't take much for the hoarders to think they don't have enough stockpiled yet. Same thing will (or is) happen to reloading components. Black style rifles are already gone.

Most ammo is backordered. The local gunshops around here say they can't order any ARs or aren't confident that their AR orders will come in. It's a buying frenzy out there.

Ya it's rediculas! No .223 in 55 grain anywhere I have found on the net. I did find .762x51 on Cheaper then Dirt! I just made my order. If anyone knows of a web site that still has .223 55 gr let me know. Thanks

Went to Wally World today and the self's were almost empty.Good thing I'm all stocked up on reloading supplies.

Other than rimfire, I reload everything. I try to keep plenty of components on hand. I have around 20,000 primers (shotgun, sm & lg pistol, sm & lg rifle), probably 30,000 bullets and 500# of shot. Lots of wads too. I am down to about 2,000 (4 bricks) of .22 target ammo. Might seem like a lot, but I shoot in a BullsEye Pistol league every week, shoot in a Cowboy Action match almost every week and practice 2 or 3 days a week. I shoot about 2000 rounds a week.
Leaving Tuesday for a regional Cowboy Action Shoot in Az, there will be 250+ shooters there for 3 days shooting.
