I’ve heard some individual vendors at gun shows have been stocked well. Good luck.

Try online but most are backordered. Ammoman.com, Sportsman’s Guide, Cheaper than Dirt to name a few.

If you are just starting to look now you are too late. Whatever you find will be expensive or on backorder. If you reload primers are almost non-existant.

We were in the Cedar Park Academy on Sunday looking for pistol ammo.

NADA! The shelves were completely empty.

Academy gets deliveries on M-W-F. Be there when they open at 8:30. Won’t last long.

The lack of ammo is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. I was at one gun collectors web site a few days ago where a guy told the story of going to a local hardware store and found 13 small 50rd. boxes of .22 long rifle for sale at $1.99 per box. He scooped up ten boxes and went to pay, and then said, “gee, why don’t I also go get the last 3 boxes” which he did. Did he need the last 3 boxes? Most likely not, but they were there. So some other poor guy who might have wanted to take his kid out for a little plinking won’t get the chance, because one guy is sitting on all the ammo the store had. Its happening all over the U.S. I have a S—t load of ammo, but bought it way before there was any shortages, so I don’t feel guilty.

They haven’t shipped yet, but I just placed an order yesterday with www.surplusammo.com. The prices seemed fair.

Don’t wait until it is in stock. Backorder from an online source and be patient.

My local gunstore has lots of ammo in some calibers, almost nothing in others. Also a lot more in target than HP rounds. What caliber(s) are you looking for?

You've got to keep at it. Unlike most of the sporting goods stores, our local WalMart (Louetta Crossing in Spring, North of Houston) hasn't marked up prices. I go in there first thing Friday morning and sometimes Sunday morning. Whatever comes in on the truck gets put on the shelves over-night. It was bare Friday but Sunday they had 72 boxes of .40 Blazer Brass. They also had .45ACP (12 boxes). The .45 sells for $14.97 a box. My local gun shop (Carter's Country) sells the same for $25. When they (Wally World) get Blazer Brass 9mm, it's $8.97 a box.

Get there early in the morning as often as is practical. The shipments trickle in through-out the week.

First of all, no one should need ammo right now.

Kinda like “needing” toilet paper, one should never NEED it!

Be that as it may...have you tried the pawn shops?

Central Arkansas Freepers who need .22LR ammo:

Wal-Mart in Benton had over 170 boxes of 550 rounds this morning.

Sporting Goods Manager said that they recently got in a 2,000-box shipment from Remington in Lonoke last week (all .22LR), and he had 174 boxes left this morning.

6-box limit!

A friend told me that if you show up when they open, Academy will sell you whatever they have gotten overnight.
