Re: Gun dealers experiencing shortages of bullets I really believe you should stop buy firearms hoping by now you have at least 1 AK or AR or similar and at least 1 handgun and a cheap shotgun. and put every penny you can come up with and buy ammo it does not do any good to buy cars if you can't find gas to put into them I came to this conclusion when searchin the internet for a beretta CX4 storm something came over me and a little voice said Buy all the ammo you can dumb ass before its to late praise the lord and pass the ammunition

I remeber when I could get police overstock 50rd box of +P+ JHP 9MM for like 11-17 bucks by the dam case. Someone else was looking for some and I tried to find a hyperlink for it and I came back with nothing except on Gunbroker and there were asking a pretty penny. The cheap stuff is gone forever. Dam........ the fun is just getting started

Re: Gun dealers experiencing shortages of bullets What about casings, primers and powder?

Re: Gun dealers experiencing shortages of bullets You can't find primers to save your life right now....a few local shops have a little....but no national reloading outfit has them.....midwayusa has been out for months.

Not just primers. Try to find a "common" source for an 8# jug of 4895 powder. Even the Wolf primers (not anywhere near as popular as CCI & others) are in tight supply. My Powder Valley order from a few weeks ago should be delivered today. All the primers that were in stock at the time of my order are now out of stock. I've not heard any shipping info from Wideners about the order I placed around the same time. For whatever reason, magnum pistol/rifle primers are much more available than the "normal" type primers. As to brass, that's in tight supply too. A friend just bought a bunch of .223 brass. Regular factory stuff, not match grade or anything. He ended up paying over $0.40 a piece for the brass alone - not loaded ammo. Pretty crazy. Get what you can, when you can. NOW.

I see the same thing in Ohio. I think people are thinking autoloaders will suffer government regulations and this is why magnum primers are not being sold as fast. The infamous AR 15 and autoloading pistols take the small primers and they are gone.:bawling: I lucked out two days ago and found two boxes of WSP Winchester on a store shelf. I picked them up as fast as I could reach for them, 2,000 small pistol primers. :applause_
