    When it rains, it pours (ammo)

    Two weeks ago I was down to two cases of ammo, then I ran into a deal for 20 cases of Fiocchi ammo for $55 each, yesterday Dan Arthalony called me and told me my Kent order was ready to ship.

    When it rains, it pours. Maybe the ammo shortage is easing up?

          You should have a gunsmith look at your shotgun. Most semi autos just eject to the right

            The hardest ammo for me to find these days are .22LR for sure. Everything else is around...just gotta look.

            I hope the powder starts coming back. I'd like to pick up some dot powder.

                  I stocked up, but it is hard to keep any ammo when you shoot 500+ rounds a week .

                  Well, hopefully I'll make the US Shooting Team soon enough to where sponsors will just send me ammo.

                        I think it was Turners West Covina or Pasadena? had a bunch of 9mm the other day I stopped in. Boxed and 500rd ammo cases. I was kind of shocked.

                        I would imagine it didn't last long. But I picked up some .308 and 5.56, so was quite pleased.
                        Laws against murder and attempted murder should have been the only gun control laws ever needed in America...

                            OP, a case to me is 1000 rounds, how many are in your case of ammo and what size it is?

                              When you're talking about shotgun ammo, a case is 10 boxes of 25 rounds each. So each case holds 250 rounds.

                              I only shoot 1oz loads for a couple of reasons. 1, they get the job done, 2, they don't beat the hell out of you, and 3, FITASC only allows 1oz loads.
