    Just went on the SGA site. Many calibers are now missing from their lists. 22LR, 380, just to name a couple. Ad verbiage is also changed. Not looking good!

    The wild thing is in the past few weeks a friend of mine went to the local range we like to use that ive never actually seen "busy" and I've definitely never had to wait for a place to shoot. He said it was at max capacity and there were several car loads of people waiting for bays to open up.

    I put 3150 rounds of assorted 22LR on GB for 400 and a converted Glock for 500. The ammo has got far more interest and no haggling the Glock has been pecked at around 400.00. Like if I had been motivated to drive 20 minutes the other night the ammo would be gone. I mean there is over a 1000 CCI in there but still.

I live in a small town surrounded by smaller towns so I’ll get a good gauge here.
    Today I bought from PSA. They are now sold out...

    I use ammoseek.com
    Yesterday I saw Midway had 556 for .60 a round. I hopped on, put it in my cart, grabbed my card, then thought i'd check for some 38 special. By the time I got back to my cart, it had sold out.
    Im in the Hill Country. I have some local places. In fact I have a local guy that has 357 magnum at .50.. getting more today..

    Were you part of the terrorist mob that stormed our nation's Capital?

    Are you about to be tried as a terrorist?

    Need help paying for lawyers to keep you from the darkest hole in Gitmo?

    Looking to put away a few dollars off-shore to keep it away from Civil Forfeiture laws?

    If you're worried about the Feds finding all your stockpiled ammo, feel free to reach out to me. I'll be glad to take it and store it for you forever (since you won't be able to own firearms anymore).

    Sell me your unneeded ammunition stores now!

    looks like ammo prices are going to continue to be insane for the forseable future. They have been absolutely nuts for almost a year now. 9mm ammo is approaching 80/c a round for range ammo. Primers are almost non-existant for all you reloaders, i hear boxes of 1000 small primers going for close to 300 bucks which is crazy.

    I'll be going to the Hill Country for the holiday. I wonder how that area will be stocked (not, since hunting season is in full swing).

    What sucks about Academy stores here in Tulsa is you have a group of guys that get in line well before opening every Monday.. The stores only allow a 5 people in at a time and have no limit on how much you can buy. Naturally those guys clean out what little is stocked.

    wandered into Academy the other day to see all they had was 3 boxes of 350 legend and 2 boxes of 17 HMR. That's it.

    Yeah that's my issue. I bought a Mini-14 Ruger back around February and finally got an opportunity to test it out last month at a friends ranch in east Texas. Put 90 rounds (3 mags) thru it and the following day went to look for some replacement ammo and discovered that I couldn't find it ANYWHERE. I'm almost scared to go to the big gun show coming up at Market Hall to see how badly they want to rip people off. I have quite a bit of .223/5.56 but I would like to replace what I shot.
