.40 Caliber?

[charlessummers]

There is plenty of .40 caliber ammo in Nashville... any particular reason? Is this just not a popular caliber?

[DaveTN]

It’s probably the most popular LEO caliber.

[Patton]

It's the governments fault!

No, I am serious. The US Government is always placing rediciously large orders for .40 on such short notices ammo manufacturers particularly Winchester keep large stock of .40 and then when a certain date reaches they will send it for retail and then stock a new lot.
Apparently when large agencies order ammo they even tell you they have .40 ready to ship sometimes.

Can't get anything but .40 around here. Glad i sold my last .40 to consolidate to 9mm and .45 for semi autos :rant:

[Guest halutz]

thats nice to hear, i'm running low on 40.

As I reload 40 I am never out.

[Lumber_Jack]

Same thing happened during the last shortage. I do think its due to the high volumes produced due to LEO contracts so its really hard to cripple the supply vs other calibers

[Patton]

Us 40 fanboys got lucky because that order for 450 million rounds of 40s&w didn't hurt the stockpile too much.

I have actually had an easier time finding loaded ammunition then reloading supplies here in town. I've really got all that I need but want more. Powder is as scarce as primers. Edited January 6, 2013 by Patton

We will never all we need or want, just what we use for now.

I took my reloading money and bought 4 boxes of that bonded JHP Winchester 180 gr at Walmart in Dayton today for like $100. I left 2 boxes for someone else. It's the repackaged PDX stuff with brass casings.

[musicman]

My Academy in Smyrna has pretty much all .40 in stock. That Winchester bonded stuff is just $21.99/box. I got plenty :-D

[Guest carter]
