I read an article a few days ago that stated the ammo shortage was over in America. I don't know about others but that's not the way I see it. In my area the shortage is the same nothing has changed. Which brings me to ask have others seen a change in your area?
No change here in NOVA. I haven't seen a brick of .22lr in any store in this area since December. Same goes for most pistol calibers as well.

Ammo and Powder SLOWLY coming back, but 22's are still almost impossible to get
The problem with our society is a decline in morals, only the people of this once great nation can choose to correct that problem, morality cannot be regulated by our government.
Ammo shortage over? I was at three different walmarts over the weekend....Fishkill, Newburgh, and one near OakHill NY.... I didnt see any example of the shortage being over! I did see a run on pellets though....
Where did you read this?? Still a shortage in my area plus if you do find anything prices are still high! Thank God I started to cast and reload!! If your just an ammo assembler you are experiencing shortages too!!

Make you wonder where the millions of .22s that are manufactured every day are going. The hoarders can't be stock-piling that much.

LGS had a bunch of Rem 22's in 100 rounds packs. With tax, $15/box. Wal mart had two boxes (100rnds ea) of 45acp for pistol ammo, but nothing else.
I'm seeing a lot more ammo available online http://ammoseek.com
Also, went in Gander Mountain, Monroe NC and they had tons of CCI 22LR for $49.99 per 500 rounds
Still pricey but ammo appears to be making a comeback

Maybe they were referring to Homeland Security not experiencing any shortages.

It is coming available more frequently at my local Wally World, and is staying on the shelf for a slightly longer period of time. Still a vast shortage though.
Haven't found 22 in months. Powder is hit or miss, mostly miss, and primers are rare. What worries me is every single place around here has primers for 6-8 bucks/100.
Ammo shortage ?

Saturady before last, 7-13-2013, my wife gave me $50.00 to spend on reloading stuff, I was looking for a Lee 6-cavity mould handle and some 38 cal. 148 gr swaged HBWC to experiment with. But you know how it is...you allways see stuff you didn't know you needed...so I go to three different large local gun and reloading supply shops, Guess what I bought? not one thing...all three had zip. Absolutely nothing on the shelves. One shop had a few 30 cal. J word bullets and nothing else! No moulds, no handles , no powder, primers, no cool tools..... I had cash money to spend and ended up giving it back to the wife! That has never happened before! I am so depressed over this state of affairs.....there is definitly a shortage in Baton Rouge.

Hey Gary!
Get that $50.00 bucks back and save it till she gives you another $50.00.
Treat cash like the politicians do. Keep it and demand more!

It isn't over by a long shot and we'll never see a brick of .22lr under $20.00 again. Too many market forces with inflation working against us.

On one of the news feeds I receive but I don't remember which site it came from. I didn't buy the story one bit and it looks like others for the most part are seeing the same thing as I'm seeing.
Where did you see this article? I'm seeing a little more available online but certainly not in the stores.
Glad to hear you know the system and how it works.LOL, thought I was the only husband that did that... Works for me
