Looking for .22 rounds for weeks now, finally I found some and spent $90 on 100 rounds of Sellier & Bellot .22 Hornet 45gr. last Tuesday.
You believe that? Not only will you not find subsonic, you will pay through the teeth for basic rounds.
I know that supply and demand on ammo will reach equilibrium with time, but I just was not comfortable with how little ammo I had on hand. Fo what I paid, I should have gotten hundreds of rounds...
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the American
Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."
“I was in Wal-Mart yesterday and stopped by at their ammo desk to see if they had any 9mm on hand.”
I’ve been told by 3 Walmart stores that they are no longer ordering ammo, per instructions from their corporate offices. Count me as a pissed off Texan who is boycotting Walmart until they quit caving to Progressive Gun-Grabbers.
Had to travel to a Houston gun show to find anything other than 30.06 or shotgun ammo. When I got there, there were over a dozen empty vendor tables. A local news guy told me why: Those were the tables reserved for ammo dealers who couldn’t get ammo to sell.
My local dealer is getting a big shipment tomorrow and I am loading up.
Sounds like a good atmosphere to go into the gun making business. How hard could it be make ammo? I’m looking forward to locally made arms here in Tennessee. Ah capitalism.
Take pointers from this interview.

That was great!
His style wouldn't work on most liberal-run shows, because they wouldn't let him get 3 consecutive words in.
I loved it when he mentioned that he was armed. You could almost hear the interviewer piss himself.
DHS bought over a billion rounds? Wherever do they get the money for that?
Threat? Those are the taxpayers who keep the govt in business.
Threat? Those are the taxpayers who keep the govt in business.
And just who do you think Obama and Napolitano consider enough of a threat to have Homeland Security stockpile 1.4 billion rounds of hollowpoint and sniper ammunition?
Chicago street gangs?
Occupy Wall Street protesters?
Rioting Teachers Union members?
Homeland Security on guard for 'right-wing extremists'
WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.
The report, titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” dated April 7, states that “threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”
“Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of right-wing extremist groups as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government,” the report continues. “The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by right-wing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement.”
Most notable is the report’s focus on the impact of returning war veterans.
“Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.”
Why does Homeland Security need 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition?
The Department of Homeland Security has purchased 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition- that is not a typo -- during the last six months. This includes 450 million rounds of .40 hollow point, 200 million rounds of .223 rifle ammunition, and 176,000 rounds of .308 168-grain hollow point boat tail (HPBT) that is used almost exclusively as ammo for sniper rifles.
Why is everyone all up in arms about the recent purchase by Homeland security of 1.4 Billion rounds of ammunition?
Our undeclared Foreign War in Iraq Consumes about 70,000,000 (70 Million) Rounds of Ammunition Each Year, which would take about 20 years to consume 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition ordered by the Department of Homeland Security alone, not including all the ammunition ordered by the weather service, Social Security, etc! 20 Years To Use All 1.4 Billion Rounds Of This Ammo?
Why did DHS purchase 28,000 tons of ammunition? Why did DHS purchase almost half a billion rounds of hollow point ammunition, banned by the Hague Convention of 1899 for use in international warfare, that is carefully designed to kill it intended targets? Americans have no good answers to these questions since the DHS is now refusing to respond to media inquires on the subject. Pull back the curtain of silence by asking your Congressmen and Senators these questions.
Is the Department of Homeland security to protect us from foreign terrorists, or to protect the central government from the American people?
I confess that, even to me, this post sounds like tin-foil hattery, but I’m wondering if all this ammo and gun buying by the FedGov has anything to do with this:
