I hear ya Biscuit. Most of us have plenty ammo from Obama but I still go looking. My main issue is reloading components.
IMO... .02.... is the manufacturers are making ammo as fast as they can and still can't keep up with demand (hoarding)
Politics is causing this now, Gun people are freaking out with all the talk of Biden winning, Low hanging fruit will be picked first and that's our guns starting with ANYTHING AR-15, to hi-cap handguns, then magazine fed bolt guns on and on
I don't think we'll see confiscation YET, there will be some "BuyBack" programs, then voluntary turn in . By this time we will be in serious decline.
SO
when you find some ammo, buy what they will let you, leave some for the guy behind you. I don't see any relief until Trump wins (Please God)

I believe this is worse than last great ammo shortage a few years ago. I think if Biden wins it’s going to get even worse.

You also might wanna buy some groceries a few days before the election, just so you can find what you want. 'Not trying to incite panic, but in San Antonio at least, people freak the hell out and I anticipate a rush.
I'd try ordering what you want from Midway. That's how I found some decent 7.62. It was on backorder, but only took a couple of weeks. Order online while you still can.

Past shortages seemed to focus more ammo common to AR-style rifles, with everything else being far less impacted. This shortage has impacted everything equally, including the primers needed by those who reload their own.

After Trump is re-elected there will be full shelves again. Then spend the next 4 years methodically stockpiling for the next election.

Everything was cheap and plentiful under Trump so I stocked up while it was cheap. Going it to an election year, this is very predictable. China Virus made it worse since bunch of libtards got red pilled and started buying guns. I read somewhere that there were 5 million people buying guns for the first time this year.

I’ve been trying to find .380 and several of the places I’ve spoke with said the manufactures have run out of supplies already for this year. They said the manufactures order gets placed every year for what they think they will need. Apparently, that has already been bought up and they can’t get the supplies right now. Sounds like poor planning to me.

Then when local shops get in ammo someone buys it all out while others are needing it. I have plenty so not everyone else’s fault. I just tend to see it from all directions instead of one sided like most on here

Some 7mm-08 is still available online in 200 round case at the same price as before this madness. I saw some .243 onthe shelf Thursday. That should suffice for hunting.
