I just brought a can of 5.45X39 to feed my 'Bulgy'.

Will .22LR ever make a comeback?

I put up reloading supplies some time back, also got alloy ingots and bullet molds.

Anyone who puts that Russian crap in their weapons deserves the jams.

“Russia Has Reportedly Halted All Exports To The US Of Russian Made Ammunition”

Unless Putin has some plan to invade the US, I think this move is a little short sighted for someone who is supposed to be so good at chess.

People are trying to make money here...

Most people way over purchased most will not be buying more.

The bubble popped....

I have adequate stores of all calibers and ample stock of some. If I were younger I might not say so.

I would like to have a few more boxes of 8mm Mauser that is not corrosive. Might could use a few more boxes of .380 but I shoot it so seldom that it doesn’t matter that much.

I am particularly well off in .22LR, 9mm and .177 pellets.

Looks like this is true. First time I've never seen any Russian surplus on Cheaper than Dirt.

Only Hungarian available.

I just picked up 420 rounds of M855 ball last week. I’ll grab another 420 at least this week. I may just grab a thousand. I’m well stocked on .45, 9 mm, .308, 500 mag. and 300 win mag too. I plan on spending a lot of time at the range this summer. I can’t wait. All this winter is killing me.

Ammo is incredibly expensive, if you can even get it.

Reloading supplies are incredibly expensive, if you can get them.

You can still get pellets and pellet guns. Lots of options too. Very accurate.

Great for practice. Great for teaching new shooters to shoot. Great for small game, especially in .22 or .25 caliber.

Not great for self defense, but better than nothing.

Not sure how long until the run starts on pellets...

Good thing you did. There isn’t a big supply of domestically produced 5.45. However, there’s quite a lot of domestically produced 7.62x39, albeit at 3x the price of Russian ammo. It is one of the reasons I have only bought AK47 pattern rifles not AK74. I have several spam cans of the stuff, so I am not too concerned about a disruption in the Russian supply. The only ammo I have a little difficulty getting right now is cheap Federal or Winchester White Box fmj target 9mm.

I went to the LGS yesterday and noticed that bulk 7.62x39 and even surplus 7.62x54R was just about gone.

I didn't put two and two together, but it struck me that the cheapie Russian stuff was simply not there.

I just read the posted article here, so I jumped over to J&G and ordered a 750-round case of 9x18 Makarov, since I have 7 pistols that eat the stuff.

Havent seen 22 in months... but its all over GunBroker... at 10 cents a round plus.

I have had luck getting .45 acp at WM and other places.. seen several boxes of 9, and 40s.

I figured it was just as easy to start reloading, comes out to about 16 a round for .45 acp. got most of what I needed in powder and primers, bought a Dillon 550b.

will buy 22s when they appear again.

and just reload for the 7mm RM, and .45
