Haven't tried to order anything lately, (my wife and I roll our own). Most of the catalogs that we get are still advertising the stuff for reasonable prices. If there was a shortage the prices would be spiking I would think.

Cheaper than dirt is currently showing in stock on S&B 9mm and out of stock on S&B 45. However they are indicating that they are sold out of Wolf 223 due to the 9/11 attack.

This bears further investigation.

Semper Fi!

If there was some sort of import ban, there would be a huge hue and cry about it.

Just the Press Releases ALONE from the VPC and Handgun Control would be deafening.

There is no such ban I am aware of.

I haven't heard a word. On a related note, I attended the Tanner gun show here in Denver last weekend and while I realize it was the same weekend as the S.H.O.T. show in Vegas, I was really concerned about the lack of availability and the high prices of "assault rifles" (how I hate that term) compared to the last gun show I went to shortly after 9/11. Romanian and Egyptian AKs doubled in price from around $250 a few months ago to about $500 now (what few they had). I saw only one FN-FAL (and it was an authentic Belgian collector's item) going for a fortune. Last time these were plentiful and only about $450. Bulk ammo was hard to come by as well.

I'm hoping the lack of selection and the high prices are due to the show in Vegas, but I left more than a little concerned. Did some congress-critter attach a rider to a bill and flew it in under the radar catching the NRA off guard?

I hope this is just a supply and demand issue, and not a real import/trade problem as I use Wolf 7.62x39 and enjoy it's excellent quality and low price. I've always been able to get it either mail order or at the shows with no problems. Haven't been to a show since 911 though. Hmmmmm...

I went to a gunshow after 9-11, and they almost had nothing but Wolf ammo. Since it cost more than Federal or USA at my local gun shop, I didn't bother. Gun shows here in CA seem to be outrageously expensive.... The cheapest price for a Mini 14 I saw was $546.... I got mine at a gun shop for $440. (stainless)

Personally, I don't like feeding steel cased ammo into my rifles, it wears the hell out of the feed ramp and chamber but quick.

Conley Precision Cartridge loads are max pressure. Definitely hot stuff! Factory new loads. Never had a jam/stovepipe in my Coonan .357 magnum (no, not sig), and the Coonans are about as finnicky as it gets when it comes to proper loads! The hotter the better. Easily as hot as any IMI I've fired with the same reliability. I tried the CPC after I have had trouble finding the IMI loads.

Some prices and velocities...
.357 158 Gr. JHP is @ 1450fps $14.88/box
.40 S&W 180 Gr. 160fps $15.79/box
>.45 ACP 230 Gr. FMJ 900fps $15.99/box
.45 ACP 230 Gr. HP-XTP (hornaday) 900fps $23.50/box
.308 win. 165 Gr. BTSP 2700fps $23.91/box

Buy 5 boxes or more and shipping is included. CPC is a domestic company.CPC

And as long as we're posting the obligatory photos...

Import ban on foreign-made ammo?

Why do they need to import a ban.

Can`t they use a homegrown one?

cheaperthandirt still has cases of Wolf .223, just seems to be out of one particular make, in case quantities. Plenty of other cheap brands.
