I am encouraged by the recent spate of ammo in stock reports..anyone from Cabela's,Natchez,Palmetto,Dick's reported showing some hard to find calibers in stock and at reasonable prices considering their competition.So I ask, Has the fever broken? or are we just more attuned to the availability of ammo?

I also see increased availability of mags[ CDNN selling CZ75 9mm 14 round mags for $29.99] and some popular guns.

Prices are unfortunately still inflated but at the very least availability seem to be increasing.

Hope so!!!

Rumor has it stabilization will be around July...

...which is far sooner than I anticipated... Now the question is... will we be then seeing a dumping of product of those who have amassed in the intention of huge profits? I'm in for .38 .357 and 9mm and can't wait to go shooting again.

5.56 has been more available to me now since December/January/February (at higher costs..$11.95/20 rounds), but I can't find handgun ammo available/for a decent price.

There has been quite a few reports right here on the forum of good deals offered but as is the case you have to jump immediately......the market is starved for product and pent up demand takes precedent so keep your eyes and browser open....

Any time frame of when this will change is all speculation. The only real reason things have been in stock is the stores putting limits on ammo. Local dicks is allowing 1 box of any type of bulk pack. 325 bulk pack of 22 and you're done. Sad times.

Its almost impossible to get primers. Stores shelves are still mostly empty of ammo. I dont think its broken yet.

I hope it stabilizes. I need me some .357 Mag... hopefully at prices that won't have me selling off body parts/organs.

Yeah dicks had 357 for $40... Pretty expensive for 50 rounds.

Gents.... I know there are huge gaps in what we need and what is offered. I also have come to terms that 9mm FMJ will never cost me .19 cents ever again,.38 at .26 cents a round is history and .357 costing .32 a round a dream....but considering the present alternative........

I just went to Dicks at lunchtime today and they had bricks of 9, 40 and multiple 22lr plus 100 packs of cci blazers. They also told me that Wed delivery lasted almost the whole day compared to 15 minutes at opening. Hopefully this is a good sign.

Thanks Wolf.....Now maybe I can use those coupons I have accumulated.

Really I did not realise you could use the coupons they state "no ammo" otherwise I would have used them too.

 

Also I have seen 10/22's and more stock in a couple of shops so that seem like another indicator things may be getting better

2 weeks ago I bought 3 50 round boxes of .357 UMC at Dick's for $29.99 each

I can only hope. I stockpiled 223 before the bs... But I'm very low on 45acp, 40, and 7.62x51/.308.... Socom II has been collecting dust. Last time I bought 45 a couple of weeks ago, paid 35 a box. I decided to gold plate them and use them for jewelry.. Too fooking expensive to throw at paper.

It is up to the largesse of that particular location to allow the coupons to be used for ammo or other disallowed purchases. I have never had an issue of my coupon being accepted in the East Brunswick or Freehold locations.

Coupons they usually won't let you use. The rewards certificates you can use.

 

The shipments are lasting the full days now because they keep tightening their policy. They used to let you do 3 boxes of each caliber or a bulk pack of one caliber and 3 of another. Now its 3 total or one bulk pack. BUT at least they are staying with their usual prices other then the few crazy boxes here and there.

Just about the only thing I purchase from DICK's is ammo or firearm accessories and have never had an issue using my coupons or certificates.It has been discussed in ad nauseam and the general consensus is it varies from store to store and it's management.

Duppie, I have not stopped shooting at all. Right along with a couple members here. I will speak for myself that I do not have that much pile stock of ammo, but it didn't stop me from shooting. The 3 of us went through about 1200-1500 rounds in a few hours with no hesitation. I am far from being $$$rich$$$$ but I enjoy shooting.

 

As I posted before I don't or didn't buy any ammo from any store or anybody that had high prices. But I did trade.

 

Btw the 3 of us DON'T reload either. But I did save all the brass though.

I envy you and your friends.... I have close to 4 k rounds in 9mm,.38 and .357 and find it difficult to pack up the range bag with mags,speed loaders and extra ammo and head out to the range until such time that I can replenish my stash relatively easily and inexpensively. Call me a pack rat,miserly..even foolish but I prefer to wait until the supply has stabilized somewhat before I go punching holes in paper with rounds costing on average .40 cents to replace.

Fever is gone for me. Next few days I'll be 2K richer in 9mm. Wasnt expecting it tho. Ordered 1K fron Cabelas at .30 rd, not too happy on the price but considering, whatever. Didnt check my email for a few days and got a note from Sportsmans Guide my order shipped arriving Sat.. WTF-what order? they havnt had anything in months? Turns out its a back order from Feb 1! I forgot all about after 3 months. A case of S&B for $228 shipped. Funny- I remember being pissed about that price back then too! I'll believe it when I see it.

Im with you.. Things may slowing a smidge but retailers limiting quantity has alot to do with it..i actually agree with them..if shooters couldnt impose some buying discipline then limits will force us to slow down until things truly normalize..also limits some of the flippers

I'm just hoping that the hoarders will run out of cash or credit soon, because I would love to just grab some ammo without having to plan around store delivery times.

In the past few weeks I've managed to show up just in time to get small pistol primers...3000 of em, and not at panic prices. Last week I picked up a 1000 round bulk pack of UMC at Cabelas for $230. Oh, and my bullet order from Dillon finally shipped, it's been a lucky couple of weeks for me with ammo.

I'm also beginning to see some of forum members offering some ammo at very reasonable prices once again.....

I've been able to get some ammo recently from dicks without having to wait out front at opening.

Online availability has been getting a little better too. But by the time supply and prices stabilize, we won't be able to buy online anymore anyway.

I doubt that.

Ammo is slowly coming back:)

 

 

 

Took a run out to Dunklebergers, just across the US border, in Stroudsburg. They had CCI primers in stock. Grabbed one box ea of small and large pistol for 39.95. They even had a box of my 32 S&W long @ 35.95. The ammo shelves behind the counter

looked to be pretty well stocked. Just FYI. Suggest calling first to confirm they have whatever you are looking for.

570 421-7950. Good luck.
