I'm good on 9's, 44's and 45's. It's 40's (10mm) where I am hurting. I found a couple hundred Hornady's at Natchez but that's about it.
This one caught me with my knickers down. I expected primer and rifle bullet problems but didn't think pistol bullets would go nuts too.
I think this one took everyone by surprise. Actually I
was caught a bit short of .224 bullets. I was trying to
buy them before the madness, but got distracted with
holiday, and late season hunting, activities, and then
it was TOO LATE. The Pdog shooters are really going to
struggle to load for this year's trip, if stuff doesn't
settle down soon. For the most part I was ready for this.
I have to add some RL-10x to the stockpile, as I didn't
realize I was low, and hope .224 bullets get in stock again.
I still have about 1000 .224 bullets to load, but I think
the AR-15s, are going to have some time-out time in the
safe this year due to the relatively low ammo stocks.
