Don_C Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I stopped at Cabela's on my way into the office this morning and there was quite a line waiting to get in at 8:55. I'm not doing that. So I went to my meeting and stopped at 10:30 on my way home and was surprised to see the shelves were still pretty well stocked. I picked up some 9mm, 100 round boxes for $30. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a lot of 9mm on the shelf? I might stop on my way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was, but there were probably 20 guys behind me too and it was hours ago. Worth checking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up 17hmr for a friend and 2 boxes of 20ga #8 shells for $6.99 a box. I figured I got the 20ga almost 3 years ago I might as well buy some shells for it.

Buckmaster7600 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Sometimes a guy has to eat crow, today’s the day for me. Talked to a guy at work yesterday that wants to bring his beagles over and chase bunnies tomorrow, had trouble sleeping last night with excitement. Woke up this morning to get my crap together before I head out ice fishing. Look in the closet and I have exactly 7 high brass 20ga shells. 13 cases of low brass 7 1/2’s, hundreds of turkey loads, a couple cases of slugs, hundreds of sabots and a couple thousand buckshot all in 20ga but only 7 of what I need. I guess I’ll be toting a big heavy 12ga tomorrow or risk scratching my 28ga ruger red label.All the shit I’ve talked about people not being ready for this ammo shortage and now it’s me.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer 6s, simply because they put less pellets in the meat, not because I need the heavier shot to kill rabbits.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a PCP air rifle in .177 recently. No need for the CO2(which doesn't work in the cold). I think alot of others have the same idea though. So far pellets and BB's are available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I practice with my pellet gun all year.The otherday i was in walmart and went to grab another tin of pellets.The aisle was packed with guys looking at pellet guns,so i did my shopping and went back a little later.There was only two guns left and no pellets.I just ordered a few tins online.Never thought it'd get this crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loworange88 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 My local Walmart has been basically empty back in sporting goods. No Ammo, little to no BB or pellet guns. Gander Outdoors has some, but nothing high end. Pyramid air is your best bet right now. I’ve actually been looking into picking up a .25 PCP. Some of the specs are not too bad for an air rifle.

If you are a shooter a good quality air rifle is at least for now is a good way to get productive trigger time in and power wise they are very capable of moderate range small game hunting on a relatively small budget.

Explains the rush of crosman orders we have seen at work within last month,as mentioned in above post.punches and dies for co2 cartridges and roller assemblies to make .177 bb's.things have gotten ridiculous!!!

Al I originally bought it to squirrel hunt with here on long island.but it's to crowded around here to be walking around with what looks like a rifle.One cool thing I found out is you can take the scope off use the iron sights and put the scope back on wothout losing it's zero. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
