Ammo Watch Report 40 SW

[Dustbuster]

Today's ammo watch:

Outpost Armory near the boro has a bunch of 40 sw ammo as well as small boxed c carry ammo on hand as of 6 pm today.No magazines period except for select pistol mags.back wall w black rifles looks like a white peg board.about 10 50's on the counter.

reloading supplies are fine but will diminish due to demand. There was roughly 50K rounds left in 1000 and 500 round cases.

 

 

I figured I'd start this thread so regular and mobile users could find COTS ammo based on member reports.

title your post w ammo watch and the caliber you found.

This is all part of the forum contingency plan to help deal w ammo shortages until the light shines at the end of the hole.

 

hope this helps

Ammo is still on most shelves around Chattanooga. At several places, even Walmart, 22lr/2223 is about gone. As I predicted 40s&w seems like it's the most plentyful.

[mcordell]

^^ Yup I ran by Academy and Sportsman Warehouse just to see how it looked... Most of the .223/5.56 and 7.62x39 was taken except for the higher priced match grade ammo.  So many people in both stores looking for ammo and guns though...

[nightrunner]

Yep .40SW is still available as always. Heck .40SW and .357sig were all that was available during the 2008 shortage. Swore that i would get a 40 for that purpose but still havent done it.

Thanks for the post!!!

I think everything is around except .223, some is a bit harder to get, but it wasn't a hot item anyways so the stores never carried enough stock

sam went through 95 cases of 9mm in 2 hours at somerset ky this morning

I'm not surprised David. The panic buying is definitiely on.

 

I was in our local Walmart (Turkey Creek in K-Town) on Monday and picked up a couple of hundred rounds of 7.63x39 for a range trip. There was a lowered, but still tolerable selection when I left.

I had to stop in for a few grocery items this morning and took a look. Except of the higher end 40's and a few rifle cartridges, the shelves were pretty much bare.

2 employees were working the area, scanning all of the empty slots for re-order, but said they had no idea when, or if, they'd get adequate replacements.

Acadamy here in Knoxville still had some 40(even the cheap stuff) They also had plenty of 38, 357mag,357 sig. Also the WW on Walbrook had plenty of 7.62x39.

[Dustbuster]

Being a 40 shooter i kinda keep am eye on ammo when I m out n about.Am also keeping in mind that 40 ammo runs hot and cold in supply.

Just left Walmart off Nolensville Rd (Nashville) around 2pm, plenty of .40/9mm/.357.  Big surprise, no .223.  Went to Nashville Armory first to give them the business and was promptly turned around.  They are refusing to sell ANY ammo unless you use one of their lanes for practice.  Not so sure how I feel about that.

[Patton]

I'll never forget in 2008 telling a Walmart employee I'll take those last three boxes of ammo you have left and him telling me I can't use them, they are 357sig. I like to have never convinced him that I knew what they were and that I could actually use them. I wish I still had that Glock 32 today.

The lanes are a big part of their business plan - they're already sold out of ARs and aks.

Hey David, Can you pm me your price on the 9mm?

[Wyldk2]

That's one thing i'm glad i have. 40 cal ( plenty of it). Only thing i'm low on ( under 200) would be 9mm.

Walmart in Lebanon, a few days ago, had about 6 or so 40 S&W mega paks. In there yesterday, all gone, plus,

the other shelves of ammo were nearly empty. It's definitely on again.

[Sniper23]

Is 7.99/box a good price for .556 62 grain green tip ammo?

WOW i know its 20 bucks to shoot there for an hour, but i guess it might be worth it if the ammo price is "fair"

[Patton]

The Academy Sports in Hixson had a fair amount of 40 and 45acp. There was some 10mm, 38 super and others like that. Not a single 9mm in the place.

Dickson walmart had 24 boxes of 9mm federal, was down to 19 when I was done :)
