    Only caliber I wished I had gotten more of is 22LR. They are available at my local range, but I just can't see myself paying more than 10 cents per round....

        I dream of the day I can walk into Sportsmans, pick up 1k of LRP for 30 and 1K of SRP for 30. Then walk over to the powder counter and get a 8lb for 200.
        Drive to redding. Thats me every delivery day. Our sportsmans is the tip rated CA and #5 in the country. We get ammo and primers pretty consistently

          A lot of these panic buyers are going to end up in big time credit card debt!! Even in high income CA.

            I may, or may not, have that beat by a fair share. Like I said, this isn't my first rodeo.

              So let's say a shop has an online presence. They get a shipment in. How long does it take them to receive and shelf the ammo, then update their website to reflect in stock? If they have a brick and mortar presence in addition to online, there's likely a line of people waiting to purchase said ammo. By the time they get ready to update the stock list on the website, it's been sold to those doing face to face. Bonus: No need to package ammo for shipping.

                ahh..the joy of being a longtime prepper. sit back and relax!
                TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
                The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
                Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
                The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                Are full of passionate intensity.

                  You're not looking hard enough. Go to ammoseek and type in 9mm, 5.56, 7.62x39, etc and it'll give you numerous sellers with ammo for sale.

                  Maybe you don't want to pay the prices they're selling them for, but they're available.

                  Supply isn't the issue...panic buying is the problem. If you're a seller, you keep raising prices until people stop buying.

                  I haven't bought any new ammo, other than 2 cases of Prime 6mm creedmoor for a new rifle and a few cases of 7.62x39 @ $0.40/round, since last March. I have plenty stockpiled so I'm not paying these nutty prices for 9mm, M193, etc.

                  If people stopped buying, prices would decrease.
                  Too many rifles, not enough time...

                    Something else no body mentions is law enforcement agencies still need to get theirs. I'm sure they are # 1 on the list.

                        The market place here is mostly for comic relief.

                          That's what I'm hoping for. If so there will be some epic sales on the used or "new in box" market eventually.

                            might as well have a laugh while handing the cash to the seller.

                              They're getting the last laugh. Thousands of dollars of free money is coming their way courtesy of the Democratic Communist Party.
