Ammo is still wanting.
Ammo’s the problem. My prepper daughter wants to buy a gun, but she figures why bother if she can’t afford to buy enough ammo to even train with it.
Wal-Mart, Meijer, Dick’s, Gander Mountain, MC Sports, and the little locals are still having ammo troubles, but Cabela’s has been eating their lunch. They have been maintaining HUGE (to me) stocks of 5.56, .223, 7.62x39, and .308 (among others), and sell 30.06 in Garand clips by the military-style can.
Still problematic: .22LR, .38SPL FMJ, maybe some others that I don’t look for.
At a gun show within the past month I saw 5.56 in military style cans, supposedly Lake City, and NOT for inflated prices. Tracers by the 20-rd military clip, too.
Plenty of .223 and 5.56 ammo available. Right now, a deal on it is less than $.45 per round. Bet prices are online and in bulk. But, I can also pay more and buy from the local shops without too much of a problem. .22, 9, and other handgun ammo is still scarce.
