We`ve all read about the long lines at gun shops across the country, people buying up firearms, and ammo. I went to Ammo.com today hoping to get some 230 grain, 45 acp ball ammo. They say they have nothing in stock in .45 acp. Went to Cabala`s online, looking for some Federal 230 grain .45 acp ball ammo. No Federal there.
I`m off work Friday, so I plan to check with Bob Cheeks and see how much rationing he`s doing. I`d like to get at least 100 rounds Federal 230 grain .45 acp ball ammo. I strongly dislike Bradis, because they seem to have idiots for gun clerks, but would check there too if Plainfield Shooting Supply`s doesn`t come through.
You all finding .45 ammo on the shelves anywhere?

I stopped and bought a box of .243 shells on the way home today. If things get too bad I figure there's 20 deer in that box of shells.

What`s been your take on the aluminum? Is it safe? It is ok to shoot? |

greetings
whatever this virus is it has made a mess of the world.
the game dealers do not want venison and are not collecting through april or may,that is our buck season so the job at the moment is on hold.
Rumours tonight on social media say that uk is going into lock down shortly and it will be announced tomorrow night
we will have to wait and see.
it is not good at all.
regards
billy

But what`s the difference in the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol, ACP), and what they lost as simply .45 auto? Auto and ACP are the same. |

Is that only in restaurants or do stores carry it? With the meat counters cleaned out over here, I'm waiting to start hearing about idiots stealing cattle and pigs. |

I learned my lesson a long time ago. Ammo is well stocked as are reloading components. Well, 7mm isnt well supplied as I havent even  it yet, but 308 is good to go. |

I learned my lesson after the Sandy Hook event.
I dove head-first into reloading my own.
.45acp? I have a couple hundred rounds on hand, but enough supplies to reload thousands more.
Same with .327fed/mag, 9mm, .357mag, .40S&W, 10mm, and the list goes on.
If you don't load your own, you're not doing it right.

Most of the game meat is sold directly to a game dealer,most of that goes over the channel to the continent.. Problem is they have locked down so no one wants it. Believe this or not the supermarkets in the uk rarely sell it, if they do its only venison I have seen. To buy it one almost has to go to a registered game dealer. You are allowed to sell small quantities privately only. Me and my extended family won't starve believe me, I have oodles of ammo and if I run out I have three bows. Lol. Regards Billy |

Aluminum cases are fine to shoot, I wouldn't try to reload them.

Email from Rural King today suspending all online ammunition sales until further notice in an effort to keep it on store shelves.

Went to Plainfield shooting supplies heard BoB say he has sold over 300 guns this week alone, he also was telling folks that there is a 1 to 1.5 hour wait on getting a background check back when buying a gun! No gun sales after 5pm because of waiting time.
9mm very hard if not impossible to find... got some 380 and 44mag!
