Seriously. I hear Gander advertising their big new gun stores and advertisers are always posting fun stuff in magazines not to mention the editor gun reviews but its all pointless becasue there is no ammo!!!!!!
This feels so intentional.
It’s the marketing equivilent of whistling past the graveyard. Or carrying on regardless.
I agree, it’s an absolute buzzkill. There is NO reliable source of ammo out there right now. You can’t buy it factory-loaded. You can’t get components to load it yourself.
But again the problem isn’t the guns or the ammo manufacturers. It’s all the [censored] clowns out there who are lining up at Gander Mountain and Walmart on delivery days to hoard even more ammo and thus are stealing it from everyone else.
Honestly, despite tinfoil hat rumors that “the government” is buying up all the ammo, the reality is that all this ammo that’s disappearing from the shelves isn’t being bought and shot. It’s being bought by horders and being put in a pile. That’s it.
Until the hoarders stop hoarding, it isn’t going to change.

How can it be stopped in a free market? Maybe some responsible stores could help out by not selling repeatedly to the same people? I would think Gander could do that or online stores? I dont know. I’m just frustrated at how long it has been since I could buy it normally.
Thank god a few good stores only let you have so many boxes per person. Otherwise I’d have no ammo other than what I reload to shoot for my .308
What really makes me mad is that around here it’s not just the hoarders its the resellers that are trying to make $ on it. Most stores around me will sell ammo they get in at either normal $ or just a little high. They do have limits luckaly but then the next week you see whatever ammo the stores were selling in the swap sheet for 3 to 4 times the price. I saw alot of the same earlier when everyone was freaking out about buying an AR 15. Walmart would get Colts in and sell them for $1200 to $1500 depending on model and the same guy who knew the manager would show up right as they put it on the shelf and sell it on gun broker for $2500.
