Here is proof that the shortage is starting to ease...
Go to gunbroker.com and look at all the active bids for components. Almost no one is bidding.
It seems as if gunbroker is the place where people try to hoard at the brick and mortar, and then sell for a profit on GB.
Look at this fool selling 250 bullets/projectiles for this price lol

Today I passed up 400 Sierra 175 gr Matchking bullets (.30 cal), 500 pieces of .308 brass, and 1200 large rifle primers (no limit).
I don't reload for anything that uses small rifle primers, but they had a couple thousand of them as well.
This was all at Bass Pro Shop for pre panic prices.

$94.95 for a box of .22
It's getting crazy out there for ammo. I saw this at the Houston gunshow this weekend. If you're looking for ammo prices, check out gunbot.com, instead of wasting your time at gunshow.

It pays to keep looking and searching for components
204 Berger 35 gr. have been hard to come by. Every evening is spent checking about 10 different online vendors and nothing has shown up for a couple of months. Tonight a Google search for "Berger Bullets for sale" and Outdoor Outfitters showed up with those Berger bullets. Ordered 500 as quick as my old crippled up fingers could fill type in the stuff. It pays to keep looking. The local shops haven't had 20 caliber Bergers for months.

This is not a where is everything. It is however an observation. All Federal ammunition in at least the popular(scarce) calibers carried by at my local Walmart stores have just had a price increase. Also I saw an increase in a few of the Remington lines. Winchester so far has stayed the same.

I have been watching the Wal-Mart app furiously since someone mentioned several pages ago in this thread. I have yet to see any .22LR ammo at my local Wal-Marts showing up as "in stock", so I guess it's going to be next to impossible for several more weeks, at least...BOOHOO

The app no longer says "in stock" when in stock it now says "inventory stock unavailable"
Edit: The best times to see it update are in the evening(after 6pm) as thats when they typically unload the trucks. Most stores then put it out the following morning at 7am. My wife and I just picked up 6 225rd boxes of Remington Golden bullets last Saturday using the app.

I was over at Sportsman's Warehouse in Mesa, Az. this morning and lo and behold. . .there it was. CCI Mimi Mags all over the place and no rush on to buy them. 100 round packs were $7 and some change. We were limited to 3 boxes. I will go back in a bit and pick up some more. There was quite a selection of powder and primers as well as a good selection of .223 from different manufacturers.
It is beginning to look like the worst of the hoarding is over. I will be buying up what I can . . .just in case. . .

I was at my local Cabela's which is located in Hoffman Estates which is also in crook county, IL and they had the best quantity of supplies I've seen in awhile. They had large rifle, large rifle magnum, small pistol, and small pistol magnum primers in some cases from multiple manufacturers. A good selection of Hodgdon and IMR powders for use in many different cartridges, and even a good selection of bullets from Nosler, Sierra, Hornady, Berger, and Barnes but unfortunately not the .308 125 gr Nosler ballistic tips that I need for my 300 Blackout loads. I guess I'll have to work up loads using some of the 1000 147 gr pulldown bullets I picked up for a good price off of gunbroker.
Hey Travelin' Man, small world, that's the same Cabela's I stop at every now and then when I'm passing through IL. They always seem to have a pretty good selection of ammo. I can remmber when they had 2,100 round 50 cal ammo cans of 36gr HP 22lr for $70.
That's how I gauge the ammo market. I'll now things are getting back to normal when I start seeing offers like that again. Until then, I'm stuck playing the waiting game.

Ridiculous 3-box rules
I was at Walmart and they had 250 round boxes of .45 I was interested in and they had .410 shells in 00 Buckshot - 5 rounds to a box.
I could buy 15 rounds of .410 or 750 rounds of .45 under the three-box rule - and there were dozens of each and no line or anyone else around. On another trip I bought 3 boxes of 20 in 5.56 where there were dozens of boxes on the shelves, no one waiting to buy, and I could only buy three.
The latter part, I suppose I can accept. Perhaps the only reason there were boxes there for me to buy was the three-box limit. I would have bought a lot more had they let me. But applying the same rule to a box of 5 as they apply to a box of 250 just makes no sense.

I stopped by a Walmart in Glendale AZ a couple times.
On the previous trip, they had 4 AR-15's in the rack, now down to 2. The Colt and the other no name $850 had been sold.
There was half a dozen boxes of Remington .22 lr subsonic. They had all sold in the next day or two.
There were piles of .270, hunting calibers, and shotshells. No pistol ammo.

I picked up that exact box of ammo from Academy for $34.99 last week, and they were selling Tulammo 20 rd boxes of .223 for $5.99. But GM has always been on the expensive side.
If you have an Academy store near you, they have consistently had the best prices on ammo all year and I don't believe that they raised much above pre-panic levels. They've also relaxed some of the limits on ammo; there's no limit on 7.62x39 or .308 and they had plenty in stock for both.
I just received an email alert from Buds gun shop - they're selling GGG "premium" .308 ammo (147 grain FMJBT bullets) for $19.99/box. And if you buy 32 boxes, you'll get the whole thing in a sealed cartridge box.
Not a great deal by any stretch, but .308 is not exactly overflowing in either online or brick and mortar retailers' inventories these days.

Walmart on Military Hwy in Norfolk yesterday evening had:
8x .40 UMC 100pk
20x .40 Tula Brass Max
15x .40 WWB
5x .380acp PDX1
10x .380 UMC
2x 7.62x39 WWB
30x .22lr shotshell
Random 7mm, 7mm-08, 30-06, .243, .270, plenty of .410/20ga and 12ga shot.
This Walmart and the one on Tidewater have been getting in 2 shipments per week like clockwork for months... one midweek, and one weekend (usually Sat night, so be there Sun morning) and you can have whatever you want. 9mm/.45/.223/.22lr/12ga buck are all gone by early afternoon, but it's all there up to your 3 box limit in the morning. They have .40 in stock pretty much all the time. I may have to pick up that G23 I've been eyeing.
