1. A full-semi-auto machete with the shoulder thing that goes up? 8>)

   Sorry that I’m in NH and will miss the fun.

2. I am finding that since my move here to South Carolina, ammunition ion just about ANYTHING is scarce. I should have stocked up more before I left Illinois. There was a little shop in Minooka that always seemed to have ammo at somewhat decent prices. I just can’t pay $75 for a box of 9mm.

   1. Great for online and I will abuse it in the future.

      1. I can get 55gr up here on the way down. Do you want me to check, and what price are you willing to pay?

         1. I reckon one or two mags worth. price range? I see the cheapest it 75 cents so around that or under, of course

            1. LOL. Fat chance. I think it is selling for around $1 a round

               1. Then you need this:

                  https://ammoseek.com/

                  😀

            2. I gotcha covered. ?

   2. Thanks Dave, that helps. I am good with my .45 and .380, but out of .40 and down to my min of 9mm.

   3. Ammoseek is great, and I very much appreciate their service.

      However … even they cannot make ammo available when there is none.

      They cover many online retailers, but a few of my go-tos don’t often show up. I’m particularly fond of Ammoman. Their prices don’t look great, sometimes, but shipping is free for orders over $100, and it usually comes out being pretty darned close.

4. I guess you don’t home roll 5.56.

5. I don’t even bother looking. 5.56 is $800 a case if you’re lucky. I’m glad I stocked up but still I’d like to replenish. I have shot maybe 400 rounds of 5.56 this whole year and most of that was before March. Been looking at other calibers. 7.62×39 is $400 a case but at least you can find it.

   I tend to plan ahead what I’m going to shoot at least 2 sessions out. I have 250 rounds of 5.56 meant for the first half of next year and I might pull some back.

6. The Civilian Marksmanship Program (thecmp.org) is showing the following in stock on their e-store
   – .223 Rem
   – .22LR (Eley)
   – .308 Win
   – .30 Carbine
   – .38 Special
   – .40 S&W
   – .45 ACP

   The catch is, you have to be eligible to buy it, by being a member of a CMP-affiliated club. Fortunately my local range is one such, so it was a simple member of sending the CMP a PDF statement from my club’s website, showing current membership. Delivery took a while (~1 month from placed to doorstep – they got slammed too), but it let me more-or-less replace what we were using to teach new shooters.

   1. Here’s a catch available to many: Glock Sport Shooting Foundation is an affiliated club. The GSSF affiliation number is 33138.

7. I’ll have a couple hunnerd rounds of 5.56mm with me…
   Steel Cased Rooskie.
   9mm and 12 gauge as well.
   Plus some handloaded 7.62X51mm (NATO)
   Let me know
   Plus, I’ll be bringing Nestle Homemade Chocochip Cookies (hopefully I can make nuff tonight)

8. I’ll have some 223 as well.

9. The usual oddball hunting calibers are still available in KS as well as some of the leas common pistol calibers. The big surprise is that I have never seen .308 or 7.62×51 out of stock.

10. My LGS appears plumb out of 9, 7.62×51, 30-06, 12 ga not bird or rabbit shot. Ditto 38, 357, or 45.

    Some 17 WMR, 22 LR.

    Great Lakes area.

11. Thank you everybody, it is just enough to zero a couple of rifles.

12. The ripples of your ammunition shortage are felt way over here 😀

    Most US Brands are out of stock for at least a couple of months and I guess after the current batches run out european manufacteres will ship more ammo to you so there will be less for us.

    Maybe I should finally take that case of .223 home…

13. Newbie question: what is “green tip” and why is it restricted?
