Apparently there is a crazy shortage going on? I saw plenty at the show this weekend (overpriced) and at the Powder Room in Powell, but when we went to WallyWorld, they were slim pickns'.

 

The guy at the counter of Walmart told us that Vance's actually went to the Walmart in Grovetucky, waited for their ammunition shipment to come in, then bought it all at one time on the site.

 

I cannot believe this shit.

I was just at buckeye outdoors and ohio valley outdoors yesterday and they were both pretty well stocked up and prices were the same as they were like 2 months ago. They were slightly low on the "sale" ammunition but thats about it. As far as the 9mm being hard to find, I've had no trouble finding it and its still fairly cheap.

Walmart is hit-and-miss on ammo. Some stores are consistently well-stocked, others are wastelands.

 

BTW somebody in chemical engineering told me the price hikes in ammo lately aren't because of the spike in brass prices, but because some of the chemicals used in primers, especially rimfires, have run into production problems. I haven't noticed an increase in bulk primers for reloading though.
