We're all with ya H53. This whole big rush caught people all over the country off guard and since money is tight for a lot of us, just jumping on the internet and buying a truckload of ammo was simply not a feasible plan so it's all hunt and peck and grab what you can when you can.
Don't feel alone Buddy. I'm right there with ya and playing the search and grab game myself. Heck, hitting the local shops is just crazy right now because even if they DO have my ammo, it's marked WAY up at the moment and I ain't payin scalper prices unless it's a damn emergency so I just keep hunting and trying to skim enough money to the side to grab as much as I can when a deal comes up.
Of course, then comes the wait for it to arrive and all but at least it's bought and on it's way..
I did find a deal on my shotgun ammo a couple of weeks ago but right now I'm still waiting for some of my .308 to come up for sale and HOPE I've got enough money to bother sending for it.
It's tough but it's all we've got right now so please, don't feel like you are the ONLY guy out there in a bind. It just ain't so bud... There's at LEAST 2 of us there... and I'm bettin a whole bunch more...

So I have to Shoot what I get my hands on; ammo that is made in the USA and not re-manufactured. I wish I could just like go to the movie theater and order my 7.62X51 by the gross. I know most people think that is something common around here not. It is feeling lucky just to wait in line hoping that no-one else gets your ammo before you have the chance to get some. Really bad! I have some coming over the internet ordered it wont be here til JAN 19.
