Just picked up a box of 350 .22lr at walmart. And some 5.56. SCORE.

I have been told that the supplies are coming back up. I must make a shopping trip soon. A place called the Sportsman's Warehouse never raised their prices through all this fiasco. I will give them my business.

Still scarce here, but I am finding more then enough on my weekly trips. Wal-Mart has been fairly good to us so far.

Gun enthusiast better get your guns and ammo now. Two democrats are introducing legislation to raise taxes on guns and ammo.

Wal-Mart had a crap load of 9mm hollows and 100 round boxes of .45s Friday night. Most I have seen them have...maybe they are catching up a little bit?

I know this is an aged posting but they opened a new Field & Stream sporting goods store, it' been since my military days since I've seen that much ammo in one place. All different makes too so if they have a special deal they have one with everybody. They did have a limit of say two bricks of Winchester 22 longs but then your wife or anyone with you could but two as well. Then you could still buy two boxes of any other cal. as well, they way people were hauling them out it must have been a good price.

Wish they'd open one of them here !

Stocks are still low to nothing at Wal-Mart and the local gun shops are still price gouging . To add to the fun, even if they have it, now in NYS you have the added cost of a back ground check done just to buy ammo, plus, no more internet ammo sales to NY except through a FFL plus having to pay the back ground check.

I waited 10 months for a back order of my Hornady .223 woodchuck ammo. Order came in just two weeks before the law went into affect.

Got enough for farm critter control, but no more days plinking at the range !

And our governor says this isn't infringement!

Most of your politicians suck up there. Not a damn one you can trust.

What's everyone recommend brand wise? Or does in not matter?

So far I have 100 rounds of AmericanFMJ .45 ACP , 50 Rounds of Blazer Aluminum .45 ACP FMJ and 20 Hornaday .45 ACP JHP +P. All 230 Grain. Been looking around online and there are a lot of brands and it's all a but too overwhelming.

I'll also need recommendations on 9mm ammo too but not for a few more weeks.

If you want to get as much accuracy as possible, yes, it does matter, but you need to ask the gun. No one else can tell you. Each fire arm can be unique in what it shoots best. And POA (point of aim) verse POI (point of impact) will very likely change with changes in ammo. So don't be upset if the sights are off when you switch ammo. That's why they make 'em adjustable.

Same for shotguns too. Change ammo and the POI and shot patterns change.

Since HP rounds rarely open up in small critters, such as a gray squirrel, the solids will work fine. Bullet placement means more than bullet type. I use whatever is the most accurate ammo I can find for my gun.

Just ordered 200 rounds from AIM this morning. 100 of .45 ACP and 100 9mm. Then I get an email saying that there was a problem with my order due to the fact I live in the Socialist State of NJ. Turns out they need a copy of both my DL and FPID. So I send both in; earlier I had only send the FPID. No idea if they got the documents and no idea if they are going to process my order. So, I may be sticking to buying my ammo locally. I'll try giving them a call tomorrow and see if they got my stuff in the email I sent.

I never have. Not sure why you would assume others in this discussion have either.

What?

How did this turn into a political debate? I don't vote Democrat. Never have. Never will.
