    Ok, so this is a bit pathetic. I bought my XDm this week (9mm), and the last box of 9mm the store had. Stopped by GM today, and all but three of their boxes of WWB 100pks of 9mm were gone. Went online to Cabelas since I have a $50 gift card, and NOTHING in 9mm for plinking that's along the same priceline of Blazer or WWB. They still have a few good home/personal defense loads left, but none of the cheaper range ammo. Budsguns is the same. Gunbroker has 9mm, but the prices are ridiculous.

    Anyone have any other good sources, or is 9mm ammo going to go the way of AR parts?

    Its funny you say this because I just bought a new .308 rifle and I can't even shoot it due to not being able to find ammo anywhere. Sucks big time.

    I roll all my own ammo, if you look around I am sure reloading components are readily available. but keep in mind never carry reloaded ammo in your carry gun as several lawsuits have resulted in using homeloads and it being a premeditated shooting as the loads were made for the express purpose of shooting someone (have to love our legal system). as for sources try

    www.centerfiresystems.com
    www.ammoman.com

    just to name a few but I am not sure as to their inventory right now everyone is panic buying

    Other than 223, ammo supplies in all major pistol calibers seem low but "findable" around here. Rifle ammo is just sitting there not moving.
    Sometimes it is just a matter of timing the shipment. Even in some places that you think might be sold out like richard's or wally's sometimes you can hit it right and get some.

    Brad, call up to Midwestern Shooter Supply, I was there yesterday they seemed to have a lot of Ammo on the shelves, they had my .300WSM which I was shocked at!

    Brad, I just sold my .308. I have three full boxes of federal 165's on the shelve that will never be used. Of course I live in IL and if I shipped it to you it would be illegal somehow.

    Is it illegal to ship ammo? I didn’t think that mattered.

    How did those 165 put down deer for you? At what range were you shooting them at? I’m thinking along the line of 180 grain just because it’s slower and most of my shots will be close range. But I will still shoot what the gun likes.

    If they have what you need but it's not in stock, click on the button notifies you when its back in stock. They're constantly getting stuff in and selling out of it quickly.

    I wish I could still buy ammo online...

    I too am looking for affordable 9 mm ammo. I just stopped at our farm and fleet and purchased some cheap remington slugs that were on sale simply because there was nothing else to buy and I was sick of going in and walking out without anything. Kinda pitiful lol

    I like those Farm and Fleets.
    We used to stop at one all the time when our daughter lived near MSP.

    9MM are not hard to find in Arizona

    Yeah good stores and for some reason I like the smell of them! I'd like them even more if they got some ammo back in stock
