Now this is just ridiculous!

Midway and Grafs are both showing 110 grain 30 carbine bullets, and any 30-30 bullets out of stock. Is there no end to what people are hoarding??!!?

Must be all the .30-30 and .30 Carbine AR uppers floating around ;)

[rugerla1]

No 30-30??? Wth?

[gregintenn]

Probably due to the sequester. I know very few who own, and almost noone who reloads for the 30 Carbine. Also, it isn't deer season, so I'm at a loss as to why nobody has flatpoint .308 bullets.

America's arming.

Well for about a month + one could still get all the 12gauge birdshot they wanted. Then everything else stayed dry and all the 12g went away, now all you can find is 20g. Pretty soon the 20g will be gone.

The same thing is happening with rifle rounds. Considering how many people have 30-30s tucked away for deer season, quite frankly I'm surprised its taken this long.

I loved loading .30 carbine. Found a load that shot great, and was about 1/2 the cost of factory stuff.

Probably isn't because everyone is now buying it....more likely that manufacturers just aren't making it.

 

They are all tooled up for the military cartridges 24/7 and everything else is running dry.

Understand guys, the .300 blackout is taking off like a wildfire. AND it just loves little carbine bullets as well as pretty much any other .30 caliber bullet.

[QuietDan]

.308, i.e. 7.62mm takes the same .308 bullets . . . they're caught up in the craze.

30-30 shows up on lots of SHTF caliber choices. Not surprising.

 so I'm at a loss as to why nobody has flatpoint .308 bullets.

 

That's very easy to answer...because you need them.   It's kinda like that special tool you have laying around the garage and you keep bumping into it until the one day you need to use it and it's no where to be found.  :)

Too right!
It's on my list and to be honest, it beats out my high end ARs too.

This is the real reason. No conspiracy.
