Picked up two bricks of .22 LR (Winchester) at WallyWorld earlier this week.
Supposedly, they have another load of .22 Ammo headed their way. They also had
beaucoup 12 and 20 gauge shotgun shells- But little or no Centirefire Ammo.

I've really noticed a shortage of pistol ammo in my area.

I handload for all my long guns.

reef fishing in salt water is the same a structure fishing in fresh water . Easy , i catch both every time i go . Tell the truth never really try it just happens . Guess i'm a natural or something .

Ammo is really going away here . 22lr not much , 38/357 none , some 9mm and 10mm . 308 saw about 20 cases in a shop , 750 round per case $500.00 a case . 45acp none to amount to much . Most never gets on the shelf as it is spoken for before it gets to the store . Buckshot is hard to come by also .

So far, depending where I shop, I've not had trouble getting 22lr or .223 ammo. I just cant get the type I want. I can get .223 FMJ, but the 45gr HPs I that I prefer is kinda scarce.

plenty of ammo around here.  Walmart's inventory gets low, but that is Walmart.  Sportmans Warehouse supply is low, but that has more to do with owner change as opposed to any other reason.  The other businesses seem to be reaping the rewards of signicantly increased demand by keeping there inventories up.  Walmart could really care less about the surge in ammo sales.  They will make more money selling cheap tvs and shirts. 
   The way I see it, right before and after the election, a lot of nervous folk went out and cleaned the shelves at the ammo retailers.  The industry has never seen anything quite like this and producers are having difficulty meeting demand.  With increased demand comes increased prices.  It seems the effect is across the board, because powder, cases and bullets have had areas of availability difficulty.  If and when this hysteria settles down (just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you ???), I suppose things will go back to normal.
