Ammo Drought Over?
Stopped by Borders to use their sight pusher tool and saw quiet a bit of ammo on the shelves. Some of the prices were still a bit high, but just to see some product on the shelves was a very nice surprise.
Maybe the internet pirates will go back into their holes and stay there.

I have been noticing some of the online retailers with growing inventories...prices slowly dropping...
Borders was decently supplied today, some prices were a tad curious.
50 round box CCI standard .22 LR - $4.99 (I know, I know, but CCI is the only thing my Sig Mosquito will eat for more than 20 rounds)
100 round box Winchester white box 9mm - $36
100 round box Winchester white box .40 - $50
"Pre-crisis" Walmart prices were 9mm - $29-30 and .40 - $33.
So the Borders' 9mm price seemed very reasonable, the .40 was more like robbery?!?
What Walmart are you seeing stocked? The Cannonsburg Walmart's is almost always bare...

At my local Walmart it seems the local gun store has worked out an "arrangement" with the Walmart clerks. When the ammo comes in it is sold, on arrival, to the minimum wage employees of the gun store. It never actually hits the shelf or is seen by the regular customers unless you happen to be standing at the counter when they are paying for the ammo. When you question the clerks, oddly, what you just saw is the only ammo they'll get that week......
The ammo is driven a 1/2 mile, given a 100% or more mark up, an put on the shelf. This gun store always seems to have ammo........very, very expensive ammo.

This morning I lucked out and between Walmart, Bass Pro and local Gun Shops I was able to buy several cases of ammo. On the way home I stopped at the gas station where a drop-dead gorgeous blonde was filling up her car at the next pump.
She looked at the ammo in the back of my SUV and said in a very sexy voice, "I'm a big believer in barter, Big Guy...Would you be interested in trading sex for ammo?"
So, I thought about it for a few seconds and then I asked, "What kinda ammo ya got?"

1. lmao at the previous post..
2. While it is true that the Cannonsburg Walmart is limiting all to 3 boxes per...the shelves are almost always bare. I am in there from 1-4 times a week for different reasons...always check sporting goods...only get lucky about once every 5 weeks...at least regarding .40...haven't seen 9mm, .223, .38, .380 or .45 since Dec.
Anyone ever used any Australian made 5.56...marketed as similar to the M855 Lake City Federal stuff...gotta' be better than the Russian stuff right???

The Aussie 556 is pretty good stuff as far as I'm concerned. Better than Russian for sure.
Be sure you check http://www.bulkammo.com/ too -- They have Federal for $315/500. That is still double what it was 8 months ago but not too bad compared to what some retail places are charging...
