Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
On one of my orders (Oct. 10 order), I ordered 9mm and .45 ACP in the same order. But OpticsPlanet has indicated two different shipping dates for them. So even though I didn't place two separate orders, they are shipping them that way anyway.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
Well, I'm a little disappointed. I did receive an order from OpticsPlanet today, but it was not one of the five orders I had previously placed directly with them. Apparently an order I placed with DVOR was actually a middleman of sorts for OpticsPlanet. So I received two boxes of Winchester Silvertip 9 mm 115 grain hollow point defense rounds. Happy to have them, but that's not really what I was looking for with this shipment.

I received an email from Sportsman’s Guide telling me they had American Eagle .223 available. By the time I saw the email it was gone. Price for 50 grain jacketed hollow point loads was $74.99 for 100 rounds or $19.99 for 20 rounds.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
All five of my orders at OpticsPlanet are now listed as expected to be shipped on 3/18/2021. I don't expect them then, either.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
I'm not going to use up rocks in my slingshot until this is over.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Oh, I think we'll catch up eventually. It's just taking a lot longer than most of us wanna wait.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
I received an email from PyramidAir today telling me to "save my ammo" and practice with their replicas. I tell you, it's tempting, even though it's not the same thing.

Would be a lot cheaper to buy one of these and begin practicing with their ammo than running a few hundred rounds through my handguns.
No Walther Creeds or Glock 36's for me, though...they did have the Walther CP99 Compact that looks like it would be fun to shoot, 18 shot BB magazine, and dirt cheap at $80...

My buddy picked me up 3 boxes of 223 Red Army Standard for $.20 per round.
Now I won't feel bad about shooting my pumpkins.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
In the last week or so the CEO of Federal Premium/CCI/Speer/Remington Ammo and the CEO of Hornady have both released videos about how they are running full bore on ammo production, and it is flying off the shelves as fast as they can ship it. Due to the record high demands they haven’t been ably to add supplies to warehouse inventories at all.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
All I can report are Empty shelves and sporting goods store takeovers. And not a Marlin lever action .357 in the state for sale.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
I don’t know where Marlin is at in production at this point. Ruger bought them in the Remington firesale and I don’t know the status of the sale. I’m sure under Ruger the quality will get better than it was under Remington.
Henry rifles seem to be available in these parts.

Re: Is ammunition becoming more available?
Ruger makes dang fine guns. Nothing too fancy, but very high quality. No doubt they will help Marlin.
As for Ammo I got a gunbroker email and clicked b/c I was curious. Can get all you want 9mm at about $0.80/round.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
