What ammo did you buy today, and were? LOL

Sold 7 boxes of 500 S&W factory ammo & ordered a Crate of 7.62x54r with money to spare.

The 54r seems to be one of the few ammo types that is still widely available at low prices.
 
Online dealer that I had clicked "email me when available" popped up with 9mm ammo (1,000 round lots). I just happened to have the email open when it popped. Jumped over and ordered (at a markeup but not out of line with others at this point). By the time the notification hit my email, a further one followed that the line had been closed again. Checking the dates, that had been able to keep the thing open for less than 30 minutes before they were out again. Wow.

On the positive with that I'm generally good for the next 6 months. Things will calmed down by then I think.
 
I'm half expecting them to start using the shelf space for something else until they start getting ammo in again.

My Wal-Mart has allocated half of its (small) ammo case to fishing reels. I guess the few boxes of ammo left were getting lonely or something.

I almost feel sorry for you guys paying 30-40 cents or more for common 9mm and .45ACP plinking rounds. Reloading is the way to go, even when the finished ammo prices were lower.

If you don't save money on brass (aka assume it just disappears) how much money does it typically cost you per round of 9mm?
 
Found some 7.62x39 Tula for $5.99 at the local WalMart. 3 box limit was in effect which is probably the only reason they had any. Took 3 of them home. The lady with the key to the cabinet said before the limit went into effect a fellow came in and bought all 45 boxes in stock.

There was at least one box of every pistol caliber except 9mm, plenty of rifle. Plenty of CCI .22 Stinger and Remington .22 Short. Really did not need any of those so I left some for the next guy.
 
1000 .308 168 BTHP projectiles.
No, I only have a little over 20,000 rounds stockpiled. Surely those guys have more than that.

Hmm, I'm not sure I even have that many primers.....:rolleyes: Better step it up I guess.
 
45acp instock @ SGAmmo

Just bought a case of 45ACP from SGAmmo for 0.45 per round. Only 33 cases left at 1600 central time.

Primer and powder would be better, but that ain't happening now is it?

Bought 175 rounds of Federal 12g 2 3/4" 00 Buck in a steel ammo can for $115 today at a local shop.

The same shop had CCI Stingers for $6.99/100 rounds. I skipped those.

Was at my lgs looking for an iwb holster for my glock 30 and casually asked if they had any .45 acp or .22lr rounds. No luck on the .45 rounds but I did manage to snag 250 rounds of CCI standard 40gr .22lr.

Screw it, i'm gonna hoard as much as I can. If ya can't beat em, join em.:rolleyes:
 
Just picked up 3 boxes of Remington standard target .22lr while at Dunham's browsing the wares. I felt I had hit the lottery. Its the first .22lr of any kind I've seen on a shelf since New Years Day.
 
Visited a larger city today over an hour away and hit Scheels, Gander, and Farm & Home, no 9mm or 7.62x39 anywhere but lots of .380 and .45 at each place.
.22 LR there were none anywhere which was suprising as around home it is in good supply. Scheels and Gander had every type of primer but small pistol.

Bought 2 boxes of Winchester 150 grain 30.06 at 18.99 ea,

My score was 200 9mm 115 grain Win JHP bagged bullets for 5 bucks less than on the net. They were hiding under some dusty factory bagged Win .270 brass.
 
I got 50 .45 acp reloads, Sure Fire, they said.
$19. At A Place to Shoot in Saugus.
3 jams, but no big deal. Just reload and shoot.
I had brought with me 70 American Eagle, and at the price I thought I could just shoot another 50. I had paid for 500 on the American Eagle, last year, $164.95.
The range had 500 of the reloads, $170.

I was trying to sell my 7 box's of Wolf .223s at Walmart. I couldn't beleave nobody bit on the for only $30. FYI, I don't own a .223 I bought the ammo from somebody for $20. $30 is more than a far price.

I also tried to unload a box 550 Rem's 22lr, nobody was disperate to give me $40.:D It might have something to do with telling them 2-3% had misfires.

It's funny before all this Connecticut thing happened I would have taken a loss on them, to heck with it. Somebody will buy them. I should sell my over stock of my 9mm WWB too, but I'm keeping them.
 
Yesterday I got up early and went hunting for some ammo. Bass pro shops was stocked with 40,45, and 380 along with shotgun and hunting calibers(not 223) I bought some 40 then went to academy sports and all I found the interest me was a box of 500s&w for $56. No 22lr anywhere.
 
Two 100 round boxes of CCI Mini Mags for $8.00 each. There was a two box limit and it was a buck more than usual, but what the heck.
