All across the country, millions of Americans are on the hunt for ammunition, either for self-defense, target practice, shooting sports or hunting. Sporting goods stores and small mom and pop businesses have had to severely limit how many rounds of ammo a person can buy at one time. Some have even gone so far as to limit ammo solely to those who are purchasing a new firearm because of the shortage.
Rumors have swirled about various companies and their ammo production. Some believed Vista Outdoors, the parent company of Federal, Remington, CCI, and Speer Ammunition, ceased manufacturing all together while others have insisted the company is picking and choosing who to sell ammo true. It was an issue Vista Outdoors' President of Ammunition, Jason Vanderbrink, addressed back in December.
Steve and Jason Hornady, owners of Hornady Ammunition released an update on ammo production. The pair used April Fool's Day to troll gun owners and squash the notion that the government is paying them to seize the production of ammo.
"So, the government might be sending you a stimulus check but they are not paying us to not ship ammo," they said with a laugh. "It just doesn't work that way."

Guys in my area know when the stores such as Dunhams receive their ammunition shipments and are lined up before the store even opens..........They sell out as fast as the cash register print receipts.
I have ammo but they are steel casings and the local gun ranges won't allow them....brass only since they collect them and resell as scrap.
As a result, I had to break down and pay about $49 a box for 10 boxes.....
Forgot to mention the purchases were from an internet dealer
It wasn’t a blister pack, more expensive hard plastic box with cells.
Were they match grade bullets?
I just can’t imagine why you would bother with that kind of packaging for bullets.
Bullets are not going to be damaged by bumping around in a box with each other.
Yes they were a match grade.
That price seems very high.
The prices I find on line are around $45 to 50 for 100 Hornady Match Grade ballistic tipped bullets.
Were they in stock?
These might have had a premium price because they were in stock in the store (one box)
I have never seen packaging like that before. They may have been special. I think the package was labeled with superlative adjectives.
The Web Page said they were in stock.
Considering the packaging I would say they were Super(lative) Match Grade.
