workers in the weapons industry point to signs that a nearly yearlong nationwide ammunition shortage may be winding down. More ammo is making it to store shelves now, and the price is slowly coming down.

C&E Gun Shows hosted the gun show on Saturday and Sunday, about a month after Expoland’s last gun show. Despite national reports of ammunition selling out and decent sales at the show the month before, sales were down this weekend.

“A couple months ago, it was fairly packed; you could hardly get through,” Mason said, explaining that this weekend, gun enthusiasts browsed, but fewer showed up and made big purchases. “Either they don’t have the money, or they have all they wanted.”

Its almost over.... hang in there, boys.

“Either they don’t have the money, or they have all they wanted.”

Bingo on both counts would be my guess.  Things in SE MI had gotten back to near normal months ago.  HERE, shelves are still very bare, and prices are much worse.

I have needed 9mm for the last 6 months, but I refuse to pay double what it is supposed to be selling for. So I guess I am on the side of no money to py ammo.

The shelves here are still pretty darn empty, either loaded ammunition or reloading components. About the only thing that is around in any quantity is shotgun shells.

I ran into a deal here local and picked up 3 boxes of 9mm FMJ, 3 boxes of 38 spl JHP and a box of .380 for 100.00.

Prices and supply here were back to near normal in May, only things that were still missing were .380 and .44 Spl.

Most places in Fargo are fully stocked, even have some .380 last I looked.

Wally World is still SOL on pistol ammo, but had multiple cases of Federal .223 in 100 boxes for $40.

Is it normal if shelves are filled, but prices are still high?

I stopped in Shoot Straight in Tampa back in June and they had a pallet of 9mm ammo.  I bought two cases at $8.95 a box.   Basic Federal FMJ stuff.  The reps there said they had never been out of it. ?

Wally Worlds here, no Handgun ammo, just shotgun and some rifle...

Bass Pro, must have a crappy distributor of handgun ammo, others rifle shotgun,  plenty..

Had a gun show last weekend, Speer GDHP .380 $32.00

45Colt was cheaper..

If it's starting to come back, its not happening everywhere.

But optimistic news is a good thing....
