Back order, it works for me. All the mail order places are getting bullets & brass shipped in; just amounts way down. Most of the good stuff is back ordered out soon as it arrives. Get on the list, for me wait time has been 3-4 weeks but I’m getting everything eventually, even mags.
I found that looking locally worked better for me. Found quite a bit of ammo in smaller local stores, prices weren’t that bad. Bought once fired brass from 2 nearby sources and ordered some of the larger brass from the only place that had it on hand. Feel like I am in pretty good position to assure that I will have ammo for the rifles I already owned.
Have also tried to look far out covering the event that ammo was seriously unavailable. Don’t shoot exotics, and for what I shoot I could cast bullets to hunt. And I do reload most of the calibers.
Am I being paranoid? I don’t think so. Just cautious.
And very upset with the Fed overeach.
