Most calibers are available in most stores now. Except for 22LR

Not too great on the BI

Kona sports authority has enough 30-06 and 30-30 to stuff a horse but 45 ACP... or pretty much all handgun cartridges, .223 REM, .22LR I have not seen since last year.

Smaller shops has a little of this little of that but all too expensive to just pop off at the range.

From the LGS I visited past couple months looks like their all getting their stock on their shelves slowly, not to where how they were before but at least there's something. Like the other guys were saying 22LR's kind of sucks getting a hold of them rite now.

Ammo would have been a good investment, probably better than gold...maybe it is still  an investment option in a porfolio...hmmm

It's getting better but higher prices are gonna be the norm going forward. Prices should level out in the next year as manufacturers catch up, barring any new legislation or incidents. Best thing to do is treat ammo like gas, buy here and there what you can.
