22 WMR Ammo Supply?

Well most Gander MT. stores do have plenty of ammo for a reason. Price comes to mind.If your willing to pay extortion prices I'm sure they have some ammo for you!I don't go in there unless I have a discount coupon.
 
Bobcatspotfever why do you need a coupon gander has price matching and they will do it. Call like dicks and if they have say 223 for 9.00 a box and gander has the same ammo for 15.00 tell gander at the checkout and they will call what ever store say dicks and they will give it to you at dicks price. I know i have done it plenty of times at gander in wichita. I figure if they doi it enough they might get the hint there to high.
 
I usually only go into Wichita to use the VA. have done that a few times at Gander and was surprised they even price match Bass Pro And Cabelas even though they arent close by and it was good then..But.....with the ammo shortage thing I have had them call the store and look on the web sites and if its not in stock they didn't price match.Since Sportsmans went out of business here I order most all my stuff.
 
We may be causing our own shortage. When we find some ammo on the shelves that were hard to find in the past we tend to buy all we can. So now the shelves are getting empty faster. So the next person gets there and only finds a few boxes so he (or she) buys them all not knowing when the next shipment will arrive. When the shipment does arrive we rush to get what we can before they are all bought up. We probably get more than we need but thats human nature. From what I've read the manufacturers are working around the clock trying to keep up with the demand. Obama has really screwed things up with his Second Ammendment threats. If you listened to his Inaugrial speach he promised to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". We don't believe him. We are panicing. I don't trust him, either.

Yes, what you say is true. Here is a reply I got from Hornady:

RE: Current Product Availability/Demand/Deliveries


The past four months have been an interesting time in the firearms industry. Hornady Manufacturing, with almost all the other companies supplying shooting and hunting products, has experienced record growth, on top of three previous years of record growth. While we do enjoy this position compared to what several other industries are currently experiencing, our demand levels have increased significantly over what we can physically produce.

We are experiencing a barrage of phone calls, emails, and purchase orders. While most of the communication is friendly and understanding, we also receive a significant number that are not. These range from questions about whether we are still in business, to suspicion that we, in one way or another, are discriminating against one of our valued customers. There is nothing further from the truth. Please know that no one wants to ship more complete during this time than we do.

We are adjusting space, staff, computers, shifts, and overtime, as rapidly as possible while remaining rational and prudent. We are also at the mercy of our vendors who are facing the same level of increased demand and struggling to supply us and our competitors with raw materials. Yet we are leaving business on the table because we simply cannot keep up. We also understand that this affects you, and we sincerely apologize.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience. We don’t know when this will get better, so please bear with us a little longer, and rest assured we will have a nice line up of new products ready when the market shifts.
 
Big public thanks to member "deerhunterjj" for helping out another member on this ammo problem. Thanks and good huntin'.
