Ammo find today... Anybody else..?

Rsadams

Found two boxes of .223 ( Academy )and a thousand pack of Berry's bullets for 9mm (Cabelas )... Couldn't believe it... Actually normal price for the 9mm but the .223 was 8+ a box which is a bit high... I am going to shoot them slow...lol...
Now hopefully primers will come back soon... Anybody else seeing stuff on shelves..? I was floored when I saw these....
 
About the only thing I've found lately that I will put to use are several boxes of CCI Stingers. I came across 4 boxes of 500 of 147 grain TC 9MM bullets, I don't need them so I left them for someone else. Around here some bullets are available, lots of powder, a goodly amount of LR and LP primers, but no SR or SP primers.
 
I found 2 boxes of 50 each of Fiocchi Performance Shooting Dynamics .22 LONG RIFLE subsonic hollow point cartridges - this gives me an extensive variety of different types, lots, and brands of .22LR ammo. Lots of .22LR ammo/bullets but not much of any type of same lot. There were 3 boxes for sale but I only took 2, I have no plans to buy to buy the remaining box. Fiocchi makes good stuff and some are reluctant to buy it because it sounds foreign and strange - real happy with Fiocchi LR & SR primers.

Edit: that last box was gone 3 days later

I see .22 lr sometimes here in central Texas but people line up before the stores open and rush in like black Friday and grab as much as they can , it's a crazy scene... I normally leave it for others but I couldn't leave the Berry's bullets because it's what I shoot and you can't find them... The .22 I can't reload so I do shoot alot of it when times get tough , it's good practice... I saw two bricks today also but I have enough maybe someone else needs them... I haven't seen .223 in months... I haven't been able to get SR or SP primers in a long long time...
 
I've been able to pick up/order various reloading components over the past few weeks, if I see it and know I can or will use it, I get some when I see it. I'm good on 22lr as well. I stocked up before this latest shortage due to the grandson discovering what a 10/22 mag dump does to a coke can. :D

I’ve shot the 69 grain SMK version of it and it’s good. Not as tight as handloads, but it’s factory ammo jumping .075 to .1 in my rifle. Seems like very nice brass too, but only have reloaded it one time.
 
A coworker and myself both happened on 2000 small pistol primers apiece. Even left some on the shelf for the next guys
 
I found a unicorn today. Three of them to be exact. Haven't been able to find any of the powders I want to try, or any 6.5mm Accubond 140gr bullets anywhere. The Accubonds have been on backorder at Midway for some time now, but I saw that Sportsman's Warehouse In Lewiston (40 minute drive) had them in stock, so I made the drive today. The webpage suggested that they didn't have any powder, but I checked the shelves anyway. And there it was (sandwiched between four other powder types I'd never heard of) three lbs. of Varget. There's still one left if anyone is desperate. Naturally, I bought a lottery ticket on the way home.

I’m trying to find components to load 2K 9mm & 6K 223 for three friends. Ordered 2 lbs of HS-9 for the 9’s & 3/8lbs of H335 for the 223 from MidwayUSA. The 9mm bullets are from Scheels. As for SMR & SPP primers, bulk 55 FMJ, and 9mm 223 brass, no luck so far.

I told all three of them months ago to not wait on this, but procrastination is the MO for some people. As for me, I buy components all the time and am stocked up. I always plan for the proverbial rainy day.

Found 8# of Varget and 1000 Federal 205M's Wednesday.
$189+ tax on the Varget.
$46.99 on the primers , a little high but decided to buy while I can.
 
Scored a sleeve of small non-magnum rifle primers today... I’m willing to trade locally (Houston TX area) for some small magnum rifle and/or small pistol...
