I go to ammoseek.com every morning. Sometimes you will run into a deal or 2 but these days "in stock" is about as lucky as you get.Where did y'all find good source for ammo ? Reasonably priced and shipping ? 9mm and .223

I recently read an article that said in 2020 there were 7 million first time gun owners in the US in 2020. I did a quick google search and could only find an article in late august stating 4 million since Jan 1.Prices will come down if we stop hoarding it.
The situation is similar to 2009 when the same people were lined up at Walmart to buy every 22 round when the truck delivered. They acquired tens if not hundreds of thousands of rounds each making it difficult for kids to find ammo to target practice. This needless excess continued for years and created an extended period of high prices.
Just months ago ammo was down to pre 2008 prices.
You're right, just a few months back I was buying 22LR for my son at 4 cents a round now you're lucky to find it at 11 cents....its crazy right now.Prices will come down if we stop hoarding it.

Annual production in the US is over 8B rounds so that 400M would account for ~5%.if every new gun owner bought 100 rounds (which is not enough to get familiar with your gun let alone create a stockpile) that's 4 hundred million rounds needed, now add in people who bought 2nd or 3rd guns of a different caliber than their first and really multiplies.
Lots of dry firing going on around my houseYou're right, just a few months back I was buying 22LR for my son at 4 cents a round now you're lucky to find it at 11 cents....its crazy right now.
A fellow reloader. MyDillons have been purring lately. And just like you, I stocked up on components over the last few years so I’m set for a long timeSanta brought me this for xmas. Thankfully I was ahead of the consumables glut that has made stuff impossible to find.

Our Fleet Farm gets their resupply on Friday morning. I stocked up pre-Obama, and saw Covid coming in January, and stock up for those two months. Forget about it now, it'll never come back, which sucks because training is a B if you don't want to burn your rounds.i had read something about this over on TTAG a while back, but at that point it was all talk and promises, which hold about as much weight with me as a politician's promise. Good to hear any news on an increase in production. It's funny, I can walk into any place around me, and it was empty shelves for anything other than low-need. Stopped in at 2 different Fleet Farm's yesterday, and so many calibers now were simply non-existent. I had talked with the neighbor last fall about splitting the cost of a reloading setup for something more than one-at-a-time like he's got, and he wanted to hold off for a bit. Over the weekend, he said he wished we'd have done it, and bought into a ton of primers. Everything else, while far more scarce than before, can be gotten around us. I've read the stories about why there's such a shortage, and it makes sense. Now tack on the increase in material and shipping costs...
