Yeah, the guy at Basspro says that when they have it, 9mm is like $12/box - it's just that if they have it they have it for five minutes every few weeks.

When the availability at TS is the same but the price is twice as high, there’s no reason to even bother with them. If they always had availability, so if you were desperate you could get some ammo, that’d be different. But they sell out just as quick. I’m not going to spend all my time waiting for something to come in stock for a few minutes at .60 a round when I could do the same thing at other sites less than half that.
Only thing Ive ordered recently off TSUSA were some hunting rounds for a friend. Free shipping makes it worth it still
My thoughts exactly.

From what I've heard it's not a steel shortage per se, but the fact that the steel producers (down in South America is where most of them are evidently) are dealing with the same Covid restrictions as everywhere else, which is slowing the production process on the front end. I've no proof of this, it's just what I've heard.
Those golden bullets, used to be my reliable go to, not in the pre damaged bucket but in the plastic boxes. Then something changed and I started having problems, don't know what but some QC issue was introduced.
Now I run 40 grain round nose mini mags, sometimes 36 grain hollow. Those are GTG in all my .22 LR stuff so I don't need to worry about which ammo in which gun, I stock a shit ton of that only.

Looked at both 12 and 20 target loads (2 3/4, 7.5 shot) for trap and they are ridiculously over priced...i just wish it was more consistent locally with walmart, basspro, where ever I can find them...if only larry p could have them in stock when they have free shipping...

Looks like Riley closed in Nov’2019. TSU selling repossessed bankruptcy settlement ammo?
Riley's Sports Shop closes
HOOKSETT — Gun dealer Riley’s Sports Shop abruptly closed this week, ending a run that began nearly 70 years ago.
And I still paid more than a few bucks less than sticker!

TS is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to get ammo to sell
I'm not super desperate but unlike others I never shot much 9mm or considered them a primary weapon, lately though my new toys (PC Charger and an AR9) eat the stuff so been buying a little so as not to run into what I do have stored away.
Today was 200 rounds at .55 from TS. When I have gone looking at the usual suspects price and availability hasn't been any better but I guess I should keep an eye out and keep checking.
If people stopped buying, we'd be back to normal. Funny how that works. This is Sandy Hook 2.0 for no reason.
I already have an M107 lolYup, it’s only gone up 40 cents a round and API (not from TS) has gone up even less. Reason enough to go out and get yourself a Barrett.
Probably some desperate people are. Other parts if the country have it much worse than here. I would bet that most of TS's ammo isn't even coming back in the New England area when sold...
Please tell the 5 million or whatever it is new gun owners that.
Lol this current BS makes Sandy Hook look like basically nothing.
No reason? "Unprecedented demand" is a pretty good reason.

Biden and Kamala want Beto Rourke, Miss "I WILL take your AKs and ARs and weapons of war" in charge of gun control policies...
On top of Covid, looting, millions of new gun owners, and millions of pending new gun owners. In one year. Unlike TP, a lot of places require permits and paperwork to buy a gun/ammo. Those take time to process. The backlogged demand from new LTC holders is gonna crush ANY ammo that is still available. At ANY price.

Sandy hook was mostly current gun owners stocking up. Typical Republican, White, male etc. This one also has liberal transgender socialist POC lining up outside the gun store. In the millions.
Trying to explain to my father (63 yo new gun owner) how crazy prices are. He said to me “ you sound like me when I try to tell you I could buy a snickers for a quarter”
Point is new gun owners don’t care what we use to pay. Papa is Happy spending 600/ thousand and 50 for a box of run-of-the-mill hollow points. He has the means to do so and plans to continue to do so. This current thing isn’t going away anytime soon.

Quit breaking TSUSA! I want to play my game!
And that 5 million are just the ones who could be recorded.
So I have the chance to buy the following ammo, locally:
.380 ACP FMJ $20 per 50
38 special FMJ and LWC $18 per 50
Steel cased 223 $7 per 20
Brass cased 223 $8 per 20
I don't need any of this ammo but if anyone thinks this is something they'd want/need, I'll buy it. Must pick up in Gloucester....
Waiting to hear back on the exact number of rounds this person has.

That should be enough financial incentives to spur on new Powder/Primers/Projos/Brass/Ammunition manufacturers to open factories and supply the masses...
Come on America! Get Rolling!
Not as much ammo as I thought...
100 rounds of 380 and 100 rounds of 38 spl
300 rounds of brass 223 and 150 rounds of steel 223.
