Just found a place where they had .300BLK allegedly in stock. 150gr, wait-list for the 220gr I wanted.

I asked at one of the local gunshops and they said they shoot it (former Marine) so I ordered a bucket - 175 rounds for $250 including shipping. Not great, but better than the $50.00 for a box of 20 of Rem green/white box I saw at the same gunshop.

During the last primer shortage I bought a brick of Fiochi Small pistol primers,They came 1500 in a brick which priced them about $27.00/1000 compared to the $38.00/1000 for Federal,Winchester I normally use. They all went bang and seated smoothly on the brass.I would definitely buy them again if I found them.

Same here. I've had very good luck with Fiocchi ammo and primers over the years. The only Wolf I shoot is 7.62 X 39 MM out of my AK's. And they all run good on it. Wolf primers tend to be a bit on the hard side. They'll fire fine in AK's, but I've seen them cause misfires in Mini-14's chambered in 7.62 X 39 MM.

I've heard of Gorilla Ammo but know even less about them than I do Detroit Ammo, which isn't a lot. Detroit Ammo Co. calls themselves Your Source for Custom Ammunition from American Manufacturers and says they have ammo in stock. They have 12.7x42mm, the generic equivalent of .50 Beowulf, 85gr Lehigh Xtreme Cavitator ammo for .30 Carbine, and some reloading components including the 176gr Lehigh subsonic .308 Controlled Fracturing bullet, among other things. These are both unusual looking bullets, but what do you expect from Lehigh? Some ammo is on sale including .500 S&W Magnum shotshells loaded with 300 grains of #12 shot. I've used .22 LR and .22 WMR with #12 shot but never seen it in such a large caliber. CCI usually loads #9 shot in other calibers but also sells light loads of #4 in some of them. BTW, in case you didn't already know it, #13 shot is also called dust, and #12 isn't much bigger.

I got an email from TacPlaceLLC that says save $10 off each case of ammo until the end of the day Friday November 27th. Use code 10OFFTURKEY. I don't think I ever heard of them, but if they have cases of ammo and they're $10 off, it's worth looking into. They say, "If something is sold out, or you don't see what you want. Please come back tomorrow, as we upload new ammo daily. We offer fast and affordable shipping, as well as special deals for signing up for our ammo club email!" All I see right now is Barnaul from Russia in a half-dozen calibers, with polymer-coated steel cases and non-corrosive Berdan primers. 123gr 7.62X39mm FMJ is $210/500, 115 grain 9mm FMJ is $285/500, and 62-Grain .223 Remington JSP is $350/500rds. They have 145gr .300 Blackout FMJ at a price I wouldn't want to pay, and the cheapest ammo is 60 Grain 5.45x39mm.

I think all of the specialty and gimmick ammo companies will always have ammo in stock. Because the cost of some of this stuff is off the chart. And their uses are extremely limited. And a lot of it won't run in semi autos very well. It is the high volume ammunition that is, and will continue to be hard to get, or else all but non existent for a long time to come.

All of the Barnaul ammo should run in the semi-autos and full autos it was made for. Give it until next August and we should see more of the regular ammo on the shelves too, but the price won't be close to what it was before.
