AggieDave 6 #51 January 26, 2009 Check Burdett & Sons, Champion Firearms, Gander Mountain and Academy. Gander typically has some of the better prices and larger stock.Good luck! If you *need* some .45ACP or .223 then I could probably loan you a little. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

boinky 0 #54 January 26, 2009 I've checked with Walmart, Academy and Champion. Champion had a few boxes of 50, but that was yesterday. Someone might have shot them up at the range today. Mike told me to call them and see if they still have any of it left and see if they'll sell it to me outright. I'm going to try the others tomorrow. Thanks for the offer.

AggieDave 6 #55 January 26, 2009 Have you checked with Gander? Champion is all about $$$, so they will probably sell them to you. They're not all about customer service, so they may not.There's a reason why a large number of people go to Burdett's. Even if they're a little more expensive then Champion. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #56 January 26, 2009 I haven't had a chance to check with Gander yet. I had to be out at the flea market all day. I'll be checking in the morning, though. I'll call Burdett too. They were very nice folks when Mike had his gun worked on. We bought my last box at Walmart. That's why I went back there. I had NO idea that a shortage would happen this soon. We checked some of the web sites that Amazon and others posted yesterday. I 've never shot .357 ammo. I shoot .38 special. And most of the sites were out of that. I don't need home defense. I have some hollow point for that. I just need FMJ to shoot at the range and get my "fix" on occasion. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

boinky 0 #58 January 26, 2009 Thanks Dave! Unfortunately, I did a search, but all 9 options were either sold out and not able to be backordered. Or they were discontinued.

AggieDave 6 #59 January 26, 2009 Is your revolver specific for the .38 special or is it a .357 that you shoot .38 in?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #61 January 26, 2009 Quote I am, indeed, hitting the withdrawal point. I had every intention of going to the range this week. I'm doing some calling and web searches. Hopefully, something will turn up soon. I'm sure my mom will be very happy. She didn't get why I was so excited that I now have a gun anyway. I have to share my favorite weekly e-mail conversation with my honey: ME: "Guess What?" HIM: "You have a gun?" ME: "Why yes...yes I do!!!"

Ron 10 #64 January 26, 2009 I shot 700 rounds this weekend. I also just got an order of 6k bullets in and spent a good bit of time this weekend picking up and sorting brass. I have enough to keep me supplied for a while (Not if I keep shooting 700 rounds a weekend). But Obama has proven to be the best gun salesmen ever. Someone told me that Wally World screwed up and didn't order enough. They say that they will be back to normal levels soon.

Krip 2 #66 January 26, 2009 John Now that we have our 10 yr suppy. Just between us the next shortage is going to be Toilet Paper. A shortage of T.P. will cause civil unrest. Trust me I'm not shitting youR.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #67 January 26, 2009 That could wipe out civilization as we know it.No problem, I've got some brokerage reports I'll use in a pinch.Ten year supply of ammo? Damn, you don't shoot enough! I've got a lot stockpiled, and all the dies, bullets and powder for quite a while. It sucked when metal prices went up because ammo went with it. Now wholesale metal prices are down, but ammo stays up because of this, or just 'cause it can. Time to get the dies out and put the press to work.

AggieDave 6 #69 January 26, 2009 Well then, if its a 357 that you shoot 38 out of you have some options. You can obviously shoot 357 out of it and I think you *might* be able to shoot 38 long colt. Double check on the last one, since I'm not a bit revolver person and so I not 100% on that one.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

mnealtx 0 #70 January 26, 2009 She's still a bit recoil-sensitive, so I don't know that .357 would be a good choice right now.
