DPNJ 3 Posted April 15, 2009 Got some time today, so Im gonna go hunting for ammo. Planning on stopping at Dicks, Cheyenne in Hamilton, and Sportmans Center. I might even go to Sayreville and check out Sportsman place there too. Let you know the results in a few hours, wish me luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted April 15, 2009 Sportsmans has 147gr 9mm. Cheyenne nothing really in 9mm. Checked this morning when I visited a client across the street from them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauser88 0 Posted April 15, 2009 As a handload loader I'm glad I don't have those problems. I reload for everything I shoot except 5.45 x 39mm and that's only because there is an reloadable boxer primer brass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmons 1 Posted April 15, 2009 Just be careful when you go up to the Sayreville Sportsman. He's a really nice guy but his ammo prices right now are out of control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DPNJ 3 Posted April 15, 2009 Well it was an absolute waste of my time, Dicks in Freehold had jhp only , I picked up some Winchester jhp +p. Dicks on Princeton much the same only jhp in 9mm. Didn't bother with Cheyenne bc I saw Maksims post. Didn't try Sportsman in Sayreville maybe I'll go see how high their prices actually are soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgz13 0 Posted April 17, 2009 I have been hunting around myself, and the usual response I get to my inquiry of looking for 9mm ammo.. "So are we". WTF lol Even most of the online places I have tried, have limited amounts of 9mm. I have a gun in my safe that is nothing more then a paper weight unless I can get it some lead to eat!!

PoorSoulInJersey 1 Posted April 17, 2009 The places online that I've seen want like $23 for a box of 9mm. I'm glad I had just bought a couple cases when all this hit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom609 27 Posted April 17, 2009 It's good to be a handloader!!!!!! Yes it is. I did an inventory of my .357 / 9mm stuff and I have 2,500 small pistol primers, 1,000 (each) bullets, and plenty of powder. On top of that, I have 1,000 of each already loaded. Not long ago people would routinely ask on the boards if it was economical to reload 9mm. Today you can do a box of 100 for around $7, and not leave the house. Replacing those primers won't be as easy as it was buying them a year or two ago, and the bullets are going up in price, but I'm hoping I can hang in here until the crazy buying / hoarding frenzy passes. It may not get back to what it used to be, but it is way too far out of line right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom609 27 Posted April 17, 2009 I know how you feel. I get that way when people post pictures of their armory on here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgz13 0 Posted April 17, 2009 I made a deal with a buddy of mine, 100 round now and I will replace it when my order of back ordered ammo comes in. At least I can get to the range and shoot off some ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
