Mack’s Prairie Wings currently has some 5.56 and 9mm in stock. Sure it won’t last long, but I was able to grab some 5.56 just a couple minutes ago. Just thought I’d share.

Jesus, I'm glad that I bought 9mm ammo when it was cheap.

Triggerfinger in Wolf Lake had some.
Also Hillside shooting in Roanoke.
I follow some local gun stores on Facebook. They often let people know when a shipment arrives and limits on how much you can buy.

Got mine in the mail today. They’re usually pretty quick on shipping.

Jesus, I'm glad that I bought 9mm ammo when it was cheap. I recently bought an HK SP5 that I'm considering SBRing into an MP5. I have zero 9mm ammunition, but refuse to pay today's going rate. 60 cents per round sells out in minutes. My maximum is 40 cpr -- and thats still twice what the stuff was selling for pre-election year. I have 1000 rounds of Winchester on backorder for 39 cpr, but the expected date keeps getting pushed back. I guess we'll see if it gets fulfilled.

Time to sit back and pull the handle on the reloading press! The way prices and availability are on reloading components, I'd be lucky to load up 9mm for less than my 40 cpr max. I'd need the whole package -- dies, brass, powder, primers, and bullets. That's a tall order.

I'd need the whole package -- dies, brass, powder, primers, and bullets. That's a tall order. Agree if just starting out. Tough time for sure. Once established with normal components, I think my math was about $.12/ea. BUT, that is with free range picked up brass, cheap 124gr round nose, and 4gr of Universal. I dont shoot enough to make it hardly worth reloading, PRIOR to today's prices. But it's a great feeling now, with the current environment, knowing I wont be running out of ANY ammo for years to come.

I can get once-fired range pick-up brass for $35-45/1K delivered. CCI #500 primers would be the hardest thing to find.

I looked and it covers at least 115-147gr bullets which is 99% of anything you would shoot.

I'm sort of glad that I didn't dump all the brass I had last year.

If I can't find any CCI #400 or #500 primers soon, I may have to find someone "local" to trade some of my #200 for them.

I feel that, at the least, I should stay with CCI small and large rifle primers, since I currently have hand-loaded ammo that I need to replicate. Being new to this, I'm not sure how important it is to use the same brand of primers.

In a pistol I would not worry much. If I was at max powder I would back down and try some. There is plenty of primers on Gunbroker at insane prices. The stores up here are getting trickles and limiting sales. Usually around $40-45 per 1000.

Ditto, for a pistol, whatever pistol primer that you can find will do. If you notice, the reloading books don't specify what primer to use for rifles/pistols like they do for shotguns.

My son-in-law has really gotten into reloading. Saw him last night and he said components are impossible to get now.
