Reader John L. send us this photo from his stomping grounds. Thanks!:
Pistol ammo aisle from Albuquerque Cabela’s
For your amusement.
The .223 Rem/5.56×45 and .308 Win/7.62×51 was pretty picked over but many other calibers still in stock, e.g. .224 Valkyrie, 6.5 Grendel, 7mm Rem. No apparent shortage of shotgun loads. Bulk ammo, same story on a quick glance.Lots of pistols, rifles & shotguns on the shelves and in the cases, but they were only letting 5 or 6 customers into the “gun section” at one time.
It is getting desolated out there. Be safe and think about taking up reloading.
Before you rush out and panic buy 6 and a half years of everything ask yourself one question- did I do this in 2010 when swine flu killed 12 thousand?? No? Then turn around n go home… we went out friday and bought what we needed like we do every friday. Besides my wife losing her job for now we are doing great and business as usual. Amazing how all the tuff guys are goin loco and panic buying crap while posting tepeats from the clintonista years about “marshal law “and military parading into town and loading us in the cattle cars
If you’re a long time gun owner you should already have a stockpile of ammo on hand.
I went to the Cabela’s in Huntsville today, pretty much the same thing.
The only handgun ammo was 25 and 32 ACP. Rifle ammo was 6.5 Grendel and 7mm Rem Mag.
Lots of shotgun target loads, no buckshot.
The were handing out the little vibrating discs like in restaurants to people waiting in line for guns.
My Cabela’s is pretty much the same. Except they have less ammunition because even the shotgun shells and reloading components are gone.
I was in the Myrtle Beach Bass Pro Shop last week for powder and the ammo shelves were normal except for some calibers were low. Plenty of shotgun ammo and a moderate supply of reloading stuff. No price gouging other than the normal high prices of Bass Pro.
