My brother has told me that the local Cabelas is completely out of ammo of pretty much everything. He has also told me that one of his friends that works there said they are not just out of stock of .223 but that they will no longer be getting in. I think he is full of it. Probably actually means that where they order from is simply backordered like crazy.
I was in the local cabelas on Sunday. The ammo shelves are bare.
No 9mm, .40,.45, .223, 7.62x39, .308, 30-06 of any kind. .22 is limited to oddball stuff like CB caps.
There are no .224" bullets except Berger VLDs, ditto for .308 bullets. A week earlier I bought 3 boxes of 168gr Hornady A-MAX bullets, a guy was talking to was telling me the Hornady SST bullets were good for long range accuracy as well, and there were several boxes then.
The brass selection was very limited- likewise oddball stuff like .338 Lapua, 44-40, .222, etc.
I didn't check primers, but a week earlier, they only had magnum handgun primers in stock.
They had big holes in the gun racks where AR-15s used to reside. The Remington and Savage bolt action police/tactical models are all gone as well.
King of reminds me of a soviet era grocery store- shelves are empty, people are milling around hoping for something...
