Uneven ammo availability
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 1:01 am
Looked at several ammo sources yesterday and today, just for curiosity. I'm well stocked and won't need any for months.
Kind of odd. Dick's had a good supply of every caliber. Gander was practically swimming in every caliber and brand I've ever seen there, but they do still have a sign limiting .380 and .38 spl.. The main local gunshop had at least a few boxes of everything.
My two nearest Wal-Marts had giant gaps all over the ammo shelves. In my caliber, .22, they had maybe 10 of the 100 round CCI boxes, and a few 50 round boxes of .22WMR. No other .22. Worst I've seen it in weeks.
Was this weekend something special for Wally World ammo shooters or what? I mean, their ammo is now only slightly cheaper than most places, if at all. I can't see them being wiped out when other stores are stocked.
