Title: 9mm
Post by: madmack76 on January 26, 2013, 10:28:56 PM: looking for 9mm ammo around Lewis or Thurston county this is getting ridiculous it would be cool to start a page saying who has what or what was found, ammo wise and where, I bought a few boxes of 223 brass fmj at joes in Centralia today 3 box limit but they had plenty 8.99 a box, still looking for 9mm

Post by: HuntandFish on January 27, 2013, 05:45:11 PM: I was up at skagit arms picking up a pistol for the wife. They had plenty of 9mm and most other calibers in stock. I picked up 270 rounds of .380 for the new gun, plus a few boxes of other calibers.

Ammo availability is getting crazy and frustrating!!

Stopped into kesselring to pick up the pistol and just turned around and left due to the long line and bad customer service.

Thanks,

Post by: jrebel on January 27, 2013, 07:28:27 PM: I found a few stores locally that has 9mm, and a lot of it. Not sure what a good price is, but is seemed real reasonable. I am having a problem finding 40 s&w for a reasonable price.

Post by: HuntandFish on January 27, 2013, 07:39:46 PM: Buck Man- I agree, it will be the first and last time I go in there. I will give my business to skagit arms as they have great customer service and good pricing! I went in on Saturday and they had twice as many people in there store, but had more than 1 person helping people, I walked in and was helped within a minute or two. Oh yea and they made eye contact with me when I walked in the door as well...

I wish I had the time, and the personality to be able to reload! It would save me allot of money...

Thanks,
H&F

DHS is indeed buying up .40S&W by the millions. If you know of them buying 9mm, I'm curious to know where you read it.

Post by: JimmyHoffa on January 27, 2013, 08:51:31 PM: I haven't heard of DHS buying up 9 yet, but that their demands for .40 and 5.56 are putting a big demand on the materials market. Lots of copper, brass and lead being redirected to making the components to fill the bulk contracts. I heard that a little over 20% of all lead mined annually goes to manufacture of bullets.

Strictly speculative, but not unfounded given what weve heard of late.

??? You're saying that my reporting DHS buying .40S&W is speculation??

I guess it was poor estimation on my part. They aren't buying by the millions, they're practically buying by the half billion.

Post by: Alchase on January 30, 2013, 08:50:11 AM: From what I see in most stores that sell ammo, it is the low end quantity over quality that is selling out. At Sportmans Warehouse they are out of all the bargain ammo, but one isle over the PDX1 are all stocked up, LOL

Post by: lokidog on January 30, 2013, 09:29:08 AM: I wish I had the extra cash and time to buy it and resell.... :chuckle:

Burlington Wholesale had some FMJ Fiocchi 115 and 124 and some Remington MC but can't remember the weight, not a lot, about 15 boxes. Fred Meyer also had some. Both were about $15/box.
