IF you can find any!

Our local Wally World usually has either Federal, Remington or Winchester bulk packs in stock these days.  Two weeks ago it was Winchester (the Winchester bulk packs are 333 rounders for $10.47), last weekend it was Federal, today it was Remington.  The Federals and Remingtons are 550 rounders that go for about $16.97.

Same here.

If I drive down to BASS, past Fort Myers Airport, I have a 75% chance of getting Remington Golden Bullet Bulk for $20.00.

I haven't seen a 525 pack in at least 8 months!

I've been selling .45ACP, .380's and .38SP JHP's to my friends because they can't find any.

I even got the .32 topbreak Smith in an ammo trade.

.22LR is no where to be found.

locallly cheap 22s are hard to find, the better stuff is pretty easy, just pricy.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

BIG TIME!


The Michigan Bass Pro I lived 15 minutes from had any and everything you could want to buy.  And even the prices were getting very close to Pre-Obama prices when we left. 

We moved down to South Carolina three months ago and shelves are near bare.  We're 10 minutes from the Bass Pro here, and I haven't seen but half a dozen boxes of .380 the whole time.  Finding .45ACP, or .44 mag is but a distant dream.

Thankfully rimfire stuff has been plentiful in both states though.  It's the only thing I haden't stocked up on pre-obama, except .45acp.  I've got between 300 & 2000 rounds stocked up for every gun I own in ammo cans, and box's like this.   :)



What worries me is.  Have you got any idea what 1,000 rounds of .308, 12 gauge, or even 7.62X39 weighs?!?!  If my truck ain't movin, neither is this ammo!!!

You will have to use the ammo to get your truck moving similar to RP in the "Economic Collapse" BDS video clip.
