I have $$$.  What you got?  Can I get a dime bag of "nino" (code for 9 mm)? 

 

I got 5 boxes of the 44mag cowboy ammo HST
good stuff.  I got some before and was a good comfortable shooting ammo.  I would say recoil is in between the 44sp and 44mag.  uses starline brass too. price isn't bad either.  i'd get more but i get bills to pay too

I actually have like one box of 44 mag SP and one of the 44 SPL cowboy loads.  I don't really forsee shooting my .44 much.  If anyone is in dire need, LMK.  The 44 Mag is Blazer, to no can reload.   

High five!  How much?  NVM.  I see the Velocitors.  $7.94 for 50.  Nice score.

I was at Sportsman’s Warehouse today and they had one box of Velocitors that had been pushed behind the “Limit of Ammo Purchase” sign. So I thought I’d try them out. Last time I was there I found a box of of 22 magnums behind the sign. I snagged those ass well.

You ODB. . . 

I dropped by SEC yesterday.  A great shout out to Stangzilla for letting me know he saw some .44 ammo on the shelves.

I hoped they had .44 specials but they didn't.  They had some premium hunting rounds that were too expensive.  Besides that, all they had was one box of Blazer HP and about 15 boxes of Federal American Eagle 240 gr. JSP.  I bought 3 boxes.  $55.20 each.

If anybody needs .44-40 they have 2 or 3 boxes left.

I was in a rush but the ammo shelves looked very empty.  I did see some CCI .22's but couldn't make out what type.  There was no line when I went at about 2pm.  There were about 5 people in the store.

I didn't ask about .223/5.56 and 9mm since it was already reported that there is a wait list.  I did ask him if there is a limit on the ammo I was buying and he said not right now and not sure if there will be a limit on the less popular ammo.

I plan to visit WGS to see if they have .44 specials.  Then I'll drop by Young Guns to see what kind of .44 mags they have.  They already told me they don't have .44 specials right now.

My wife's eyes got real big then narrowed into a mean look when she saw my 3 boxes of ammo.  Little does she know I plan to buy more here and there in the future.

She showed objection to 3 boxes? 

That's not even the start of things, is it?

My nephew is still hurting for 9mm since he never stocked up before the panic buying set in. And he goes to class constantly and trains shooting his EDC gun. So Uncle Inspector gave him the last 200 rounds of 9mm I had left. That was on Saturday. So a friend of mine here can’t find 9mm either. And I told him this story last night and he gave me a funny look like I was a complete idiot for giving up every last round of 9mm to my nephew because he didn’t stock up when he had the chance. So I told him not to worry, I already have 600 rounds to replace what I gave my nephew. After he picked his jaw up off the floor he started asking me where I found that much ammo and how much I paid for it and where can he get some.

I guess I never told him previously I roll my own. He started begging me to sell him some and I had to explain that legally I couldn’t do that. He thought I was kidding. But I offered to teach him how to reload. I don’t think he appreciated the offer much.

I've traded and even given some close friends ammo.  Other than that, I'm keeping ammo for my use.  I am going to start loading for 9, but not for a few months, while I wait for components to come back from backorder.  I'm ok on ammo stores for 9 for a while though, so

I did the same for a close friend who is new. He had a shotty, but no ammo. Gave him a box of slug and a few of bird shot. I don't have enough buck shot to spare. He also got an AR, so gave him a 20rd box of that.

Then that fricken Kommie got an AK, I don't got any ammo for that, so screw him.

20 rounds of 5.56/.223?  That's quite a lot. . . 

I don't have shotgun ammo. . . (hint hint hint) 

Well, maybe like 5 rounds each of buck and slugs and a box of birdshot.

But shotgun ammo is available every where. So there is no excuse for not having any. At least it is in abundance over here...

Tokunagas in Hilo had a good variety of ammo couple weeks ago.

It is under Federal law that I cannot sell my ammunition, not AZ law. The fact that I made the ammunition. And if I sell the ammunition that I made that makes me a manufacturer and that requires an FFL 06 to be a legal manufacturer. I cannot sell my handmade ammunition to anyone legally without it.

Federal law requires a license to manufacture ammunition as a business.  You can make ammunition for yourself or give it to someone for free.  Feds aren't going to come after you for selling to a family member.  Or they could buy the components and you reload it.  Or you buy it and they reload it with your equipment.

Bushido would be a better source for info.

You should do a cost breakdown of prices for basic reloading equipment & ammo components. 

Then calculate how many rounds it would require at today's prices for him to reload so it repays that startup cost. 

I've seen estimates of about $340 to get started with basic equipment for pistol calibers.  Kits containing most of the components included in the $340 list can offer a discount in a wide range of prices and what's included, roughly $150 - $450 price range for a kit.

$340 is about what I see people spending on 1,000 rounds of bulk 9mm, give or take.  If your friend has that to spend on ammo, buying reloading gear would be an investment to mitigate shortages and rising prices. 

I know the ammo components vary in price, too.  You'd be a better judge of what that costs per 1,000 rounds of reloads vs. 1,000 rounds of manufactured ammo.

Anyway, the economics of reloading becomes more enticing as prices increase and availability decreases. 

Then again, maybe your friend heard you were giving away ammo, and he only wanted a handout?  I've had "friends" like that.  Keyword:  "had".   

Are the primers, powder, heads still available?  I heard in HI, there is a shortage of those too.

Everybody gets a happy ending!!!

From what I've seen:

Primers - not a whole lot
Powder - get, but some shops limited
Heads - I've been looking online
