Not sure if its still on sale, but palmettostatearmory.com has (had) 50 rds of .223 for 17.99. I bought 10 boxes saturday and it was $11 shipping. totales $190 after shipping for 500 rds.
 
So California has AR 's, AK's, and parts readily available in most of the larger gun shops. Ammo has loosened up a bit, but 22lr requires the use of a qualified medium (fortune teller), or standing in lines early mornings only to be told there is no 22lr when you get to the counter. It usually take me about 4-6 hrs. combined waiting time to get a bulk pack at $35. I paid for about 8 boxes at a local shop in early June, but their still working on filling late April orders.

I also observed that years ago I would go to buy ammo when I was going to go shoot, not to store or hoard, but now if I see ammo in my calibers I buy it out of fear that it won't be there tomorrow, or 30 seconds from now. Point being is that most of us stored our ammo on the store shelves and not in our homes.
I've also seen people in the lead lines that don't even own any guns their just buying it to resell online.
 
My local Walmart now has all calibers in stock except 22lr. They have significant quantities of 32spl (of all things), 380, 9mm multiple varieties), 40sw and 45, with others scattered in.

I overheard the clerk telling someone they'd have more 22 in tomorrow after 1pm but no need to hurry, it no longer sells out immediately.

Hope that situation trickles out to the Midwest. Was at my walmart today and as usual they have almost nothing on the shelf.

Another local place recently had a bunch of .22 at $10 to $15 per 50rnd box. Went there today and it was sold out. I can not believe anyone wants .22 at that price. I have been occasionally finding 9mm at $14.95 but for .22, come on!
 
Finding .22lr is still a massive pain in the ass out here sadly. There's a small gun shop up north that's about an hour or so away. I may head up there this weekend to see if they have some good prices.
 
No luck in finding any 22LR yet anywhere in Rockford, IL where I live, but today at the local Walmart I bought 40S&W at $14.87 a box of fifty (a Russian brand, steel cases, brand name Tulammo 180 gr FMJ). Limited to 3 boxes so I bought that amount. I'll find out soon if my Ruger s40c has a problem with this ammo.

That ammo functions well in my 9mm's
Just spend an extra 10minutes on your cleaning routine.
It's a bit "dirty"
 
Went by the LGS to have some smithing done. Lots of all kinds of guns - EBRs, Glocks, 1911s - you name it. Prices for new guns will run you more than the best prices you can find elsewhere.

Some ammo but 22 is scare. Stop hoarding it - I'm setting up a Ruger 10/22 for carbine matches!!
 
A few years ago I bought 5K at CMP(Civilian Marksmanship Program). It was Aguila target. Then I bought 5k of the super target. Price was 230.00. I thought it was an exceptional deal. The first time at the range with my Marlin 60 Semi I had alot of failure to feed issues. Seems that he velocity is rated at 1080fps which won't cycle my auto but it seems to work in my Ruger Mark II. I also have a High Standard 9 shot DA revolver with 6 inch barrel and it works in that also. I have two marlin 60"s, a Henry AR7 and they won't work really good in those. Cabela's had 2100 rounds of Federal 36gr. hps for 79.99 a few years back, rated at 1240fps which work fine in those 22's, I bought four of those (8400rds) and my brother in law bought 2 of those Federals (4200rds) and we have had no problem. I live in California and they are always coming up with new ways to attack our 2nd amendment rights so I stocked up several years ago. I am not hoarding just being prepared for the next attack on my firearm rights. When I run into a great deal I buy wheather I need it or not because I shoot alot and when I can find some powder to buy I will start reloading and then my buying will slow down. I have no problem with ammo right now but in California you never can tell. In 2013 our legislature approved a bill which would have required california gun owners to purchase an Ammunition Permit card for $50.00 but the Governor Vetoed that bill which seems to return every year. Want to find out about California Firearm Laws then to to CalGuns.net but if you are not from California then you better take a sedative so as not to have a brain pain or heart attack. hahaha!!
 
I was in the Cabelas in Hamburg, PA a couple of days ago and they had PLENTY of .223 ammo on the shelves at various price points. I didn't buy any (was there for supplies for my barrel stuffer), but the prices appeared to be OK.
 
Smokeless Powder in Houston?

Anyone seen any smokeless powder for pistol reloading on the shelf in Northern Houston metroplex area? The internet is a strikeout.
 
Went to Academy to look for New Balance shoes, so I checked out guns and ammo. Tons of 223, 45, 40 - all kinds of other rifle ammo and handgun stuff. But no 22 - the hoarders are still slavering over that, I suppose.

Tons of ARs on the racks. Lots of handguns.
 
American Pioneer Powder

Has anybody seen any American Pioneer Powder in granular form? It comes in a white bottle. My son needs some for his muzzleloader.
 
I guess it's a good thing my guns are sitting in my safe collecting dust. I rarely go to the gun stores anymore so I don't really need ammo, but if i'm in the neighborhood i'll check out the supplies. haven't been to a LGS for a couple of months now :eek:
 
H335 at Cabelas store in Hamburg PA

Was there yesterday to buy something else and saw 1lb containers of H335 on the shelf.

There was also tons of ammo with the exception of .22LR. (which doesn't matter for me since I've got a nice stash from years back)

Best,
