Lucky gunner has a pretty funny video on the home page.

Do not use Atlantic Tactical.

They do not keep real time stock so the stuff showing available is not there, and they do not have any estimated arrival date, and they will only sell Ranger ammo to LEO.

I emailed them to cancel my order, and they will not do so via email or online request from their site, I have to call in to cancel the order.

Lucky has Speer Lawman by the case in 9mm FMJ, but it's 48 cents per round. People are seriously going to be priced out of shooting as well as via no inventory.

I paid .26/round for Speer Lawman 115gr FMJ in Nov.

Decent quantities of Blazer, PMC, Tula, and a few other utility type range ammos seem to be showing up practically daily on sites like Lucky Gunner and Bulk Ammo for between $18-22 per 50 and around $420 for cases.

Went through every link this morning hunting for 9 mm. Only a couple of sites even have any and it's running .34-.55 per round.....don't need it that bad yet.

Side note, got my shipment in from Freedome Munitions yesterday (1000@.23/per. Round). I was surprised to see it boxed (50 rd boxes) as these are new brass reloads (I was expecting loose rounds). I'll let y'all know how it shoots.

Please do. They never seem to have the new ammo in stock, though.

I paid $0.24/rd. at Academy for the same ammo the other day. However, they are limiting ammo purchases to 3 boxes per person (1 ea. caliber) to allow it to go further. Since I have to be in the area anyway, it's not an inconvenience for me. Been seeing small qts's at walmart (same price $11.99 / box) lately as well... and they allow 3 each per person.

If you are willing to pick it up a box or 3 at a time, you can still get some good pricing. Although, it takes a little effort on the front end to get the local delivery schedules down. I just hope this option lasts. I've about given up on bulk purchases on line as the pricing has skyrocketed and if you don't sit there and refresh your screen minute by minute, you miss out anyway.

So this is getting ridiculous. Hand gun ammo is starting to filter back in. I have found Academy has 40 S&W on the shelf just about every day. Why is there no 22LR? I have checked stores and on line daily and have seen nothing other than birdshot for weeks. Anyone have a theory?

Yep, economics. Profits on .22LR are probably lower than on centerfire ammo, and if they are going to expend the brass and powder, they want the best return they can get. Not a conspiracy, just the way it works.

You might add gunbot.net and I think there are a few more since the last update
