Hey everyone. Is anyone else having trouble finding 30/30 ammo. Seems like Walmart, Gander Mountain, and places are totally out.

I'm from Green Bay. We haven't ran completly out, but Fleet Farm has been out of the bulk .22 for quite awhile. It's hit or miss for the most part. You can get most calibers if your willing to buy the more expensive Horaday etc. Proboboly still better than most areas.

Last time I was there they even had a AR for $999 in stock.

Just about everything is hit or miss at this point. However, the ammo that so many people seem to think will always be available and common (5.56/.223, .308, 22LR, 9mm) simply can not be found. I've always found exception to that. I honestly thought it was a load of bologne. What can actually be found right now is the more uncommon stuff. 45LC, 7mm-08. Things of that nature. The great 30-06 is fairly easy to find. I remember there being countless threads recommending 308 over 30-06 because 30-06 will be harder to find in an emergency. Well that couldn't be further from the truth. I can still easily find 30-30 ammo. I just bought a whole bunch a few weeks ago.

Here in Central Alabama, I haven't seen any .30-30 available since the panic buying set in. I can still find a little .30-06, but its getting scarce. .270, 25-06, .243, and some others can easily be found.

For handgun calibers, .45 Colt and 10mm are still easy to find. Everything else has gotten hard, if not impossible, to get.

I've been foolin' around with guns since 1980. Never in my lifetime has ammo been this hard to find.
