yesterday and on the invoice it showed it ordered Feb. 2nd. Most was shotgun stuff with buckshot the most, but high prices. a box of 25 rounds of 00 buckshot is $34. Some bulk 22 LR at about 3 times the price we normally used to pay.

So yes ammo is available but the prices are much higher than a year ago and a new price hike is scheduled for Sept. 4th.

Steve Hornady is a really good guy and a good friend and his prices are going up, not because he is trying to rape us but because Obama shut down our last lead smelter and also the last copper and brass outlets here in the states. So those are having to come out of South America and they are costing much more than in years previous. Plus he has 3 full shifts of workers trying to get as much ammo out as possible in a 24 hour period. All this is costing him almost double what it did 2 years ago.
Those that saw Steve's note to me a few weeks ago saw that he didn't even have enough ammo for his Africa hunt that he is on right now. He had to bum some 375 caliber Dangerous Game Expanding bullets from one of his employees who had almost a full box of them and he kindly sent me 20 rounds for my African lion hunt. So if the owner of one of the biggest bullet and ammo companies in the country can't even get enough ammo or bullets for his African hunt, you know there is a problem there.
