I am offering to trade a box of 20 of any of these rounds even for a guided Elk Hunt.
Dang when can we expect to be able to buy hunting ammo?

I went to the shooting range this weekend to sight in my new scope for a upcoming hunt this spring. Did not occur until later I was there for a couple hours. Not another single person was there. I guess no one has ammo to shoot.

I looked online this morning for some Barnes bullets for my .340 Weatherby, mined you it was just for bullets and not loaded ammo.
The price had gone up $7.00 since Friday, but it didn't matter anyway since they didn't have any.
I'm going to be shooting a lot of 22 Lr this upcoming summer and saving my hunting ammo for shooting at animals.

Amount of local "random shooting" has decreased dramatically over the last few months around my house.
Daughters single shot .410 barking last night was the most noise made in my area for a while....

I run a club sponsored indoor Bulls Eye Winter Pistol League. We usually have 30 to 40 shooters. This year we have less than 20. Everyone I call to see why they are not shooting says no ammo or reloading supplies.
I was planning on working up some new 150 gr loads for my .300 Wby this spring.....maybe not.

Up here too! I almost cringe reloading my .300 Weatherby or .375 H&H because they use so much powder!
i just finished loading 200 cartridges for my 338 Edge. i stood back when i was done and wondered how long it might be just to replenish my H1000 and 300gr bullets, oh and the Primers, brass. After that wait then hopefully i wont need to sell the rifle to afford the components!!!
i will be shooting more rimfire this year also. have 3 pistols i want to put range time on also but do not like the idea of using all the ammo i have for them.

I looked yesterday for some 12ga slugs. Thought someone might have some since hunting season is over in most places where rifles are not allowed and nobody shoots slugs for fun. Didnt find any even with the bot below.

I don't expect anything to get back to even close to normal until 2022. You might see thing trickle into dealers shelves but it will disappear fairly quickly. People have learned when the bigger stores get their deliveries of ammo and when they place it onto the shelves and are sitting there waiting like a hungry vulture hovering over some red meat.
I just read a article today saying that last month that firearms were flying off of the dealers shelves as fast as they could replace them.

On my recent trip west, I checked out four different big box stores, and tho most had 12 ga. trap loads and some turkey loads, almost everything else was not stocked. As noted in my "lion hunt" post, I was stuck in Rapid City for 6 days, and was able to tap into a doled out shipment at Cabela's of 9mm & 5.56 over the last 3 days. All of it was kept behind the counter, and only a portion was put out each day. No hunting loads were available until the 3rd day. Few reloading components were on the shelf either. They had a Springfield Armory M1A1 in the Gun Library that I might have popped on if my truck repair bill hadn't been so much. It was gone by the second day, but I did find another one when I took a long walk to the Sheel's store.

Maybe so, but then you could just wash them off and use them again.

It always has been whenever a Democrat is a President.
It's just that this one got started early when all the panic buying started last spring due to covid

I did some quick shopping yesterday for some of the ammo I shoot. It wasn't priced great but I could find most of my standard stuff from reputable suppliers. I am sitting ok right now so I am waiting to buy anything.
