Went to Cabela's today and they had 2 whole shelves of CCI hp 22's, been about 3 months since I've seen any kind of 22 ammo for sale at a retailer. Limit was 100 bullets, so I bought me a 100 bullets . They also had some 380 auto, which has also been very hard to find around here. Maybe we will start seeing more ammo on the shelves.

My nephew's girlfriend works at the local hunting supply store and she told me that they had gotten some CCI subsonic's in and they hung around for a few days. She said they had not put a limit on them. Also they were selling them for the same price as last year which was $5.99 or $6.99. I hope it gets back to normal over the summer !! |

Paid 7.99 for CCI Mini-Mags, doesn't seem like that is to far off normal. They also had some Rem. sub-sonics, will go and try and get a box of those tomorrow.........like the ss for squirrel. Since I didn't do any ammo buying during the rush I'll be buying what/when I can now. Hate to have to do that, but don't have complete faith things will return to normal. |

I think this whole thing will settle down before long. I also think they got just what they wanted by making the public think there was a shortage , more money for the product . My dad and I shot benchrest competition for years up untill I lost him in April 2010. We reloaded all our ammo. The powder came from Russia, primers were made by federal (5000 to a case) , bullets were hand made locally , and the brass came from Lapua . As far as I know the benchrest buisness has not skipped a beat. Just keep in mind if someone breaks in your house, you don't need 100 shots to kill him do ya ! I also seen today where Obama was gonna give back 5% of our wages !!!!! lol , That makes me feel real good considering they took 39% of my bonus this year !!!! THANKS ALOT OBAMA |

Redoakcur, I sure as heck hope I don't need a 100 shots for home defense.........that'd be a war!!! Was wanting to give IDPA pistol shooting a try this year and don't reload, ammo shortages may put a crimp in my plans. I agree with supply/demand driving the shortage, I know my demand will go up as supplies increase |

I don't know about the pistol comp. But there aint nothin to reloading , just a little expensive getting started . Alot of the pistol guys that shoot alot use a Dillon press, its a progressive loader . I got one just for loading 223 and 6mm (small cal. stuff) and it will pump the ammo out pretty dang fast. Once you get it set up the work is over . |

Used to reload shotgun back when I shot a lot of trap and skeet, had a MEC progressive. Never have shot pistols enough to warrant reloading, but if I get hooked on it who knows. Heard those Dillon progressives are the cats meow, got yourself a real nice press. Guess you need a precision press for a precision game, custom bullets......dang! |

When we go out west to shoot prarie dogs and stuff it really comes in handy to load a couple thousand rounds .On the other hand its not accurate enough for benchrest, and you have to make to many load changes shooting comp with the weather and all. Billy Stevens builds all our guns,Stevens Accuracy in Brundage Al . Check him out on the web, that american flag gun on there was my dads . Bart Saulter with Barts custom bullets makes some or should i say the best bullets anywhere . |
