So now you see 50 round boxes of 9mm that you can still get for $11.00 at Walmart, if you can get there sooon after the shipment comes in on the truck, selling for anywhere from $15.00 to $20.00 a box. I went to a gunshow last weekend and there about 25% of the sellers seemed to have decided to add ammo to whatever they were selling to begin with. After the election, they went ballistic, and now we’ve gotten to the point where people are trying to profit from the situation.

This shipment will also include loaded ammo, plus Scenar bullets and Lapua rimfire ammo. Nammo Lapua reports that a large shipment of Lapua cartridge brass should be arriving in the USA and clear customs within the next 10 days. CCI, Federal, and Remington are cranking out as many primers as ever, but supplies are selling out as soon as they hit the shelves. Amy Bruno tells us that none of her suppliers have notified her of any production issues.

However, the primary cause of the shortages is “panic buying” and hoarding by gun owners. Also, there has been increased demand for ammunition for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that has siphoned off some of the supply of primers from CCI and Federal. This is motivated by fears (justified or not) that Congress is contemplating new taxes on ammo and reloading components. What’s going on? Is this a wave of panic buying or are there other factors at play? First, it’s pretty clear that shooters nationwide are laying in large supplies of ammo, bullets, and primers. Many online e-merchants (including, MidwayUSA, and Wideners) are completely sold out of small and large CCI, Federal, Remington, and Wolf rifle primers. Likewise at a gunshow we attended last week in California, vendors sold out their supplies of rifle primers… down to the last box. At a Sportsman’s Warehouse store, the shelves were bare (see photo below). Our readers have reported that big outlet stores such as WalMart are completely sold out of loaded ammo in popular calibers.
