Stopped by two stores in Rogers City, MI today and asked if they had any 12GA slugs. At the one store, the clerk says sure and point to 3 boxes on the shelf behind me. I grab the three boxes and he says he can only sell me one box. None at the other store. So much for trying out my new 590A1.

Thank you for the offer, but I'm up north in Michigan for the summer. I'm stocked up on 00 buck and slugs in Port Charlotte, but I didn't bring any because I figured I'd just spend some money to help folks out here. I bought 200 target loads yesterday and 90 target clays, so I'll at least get some fun out of it.

I was able to order some 9MM online a few days ago from Ammunition Depot and Midsouth Shooters Supply. They didn't have a big selection but I got a few boxes including Speer, PMC, Winchester, Federal Syntec, Norma, and Meta, all FMJ. 50 round boxes. Prices varied from $13 for Norma 115gr to $17.49 for Winchester 147gr.
There are folks around here putting up ads, trying to find buckshot. Why the rush for that? One guy offered a buck per round. I almost dug into my stash.

Now looking at Target Sports USA dot com website, they show in the 9mm category what seems to be their own brand, Target Sports Ammo, 9mm 124 gr, box of 50 for $17.99 per box or a by the 1,000 round case is $359.80 free shipping.
I wonder who made this ammo for them???

IIRC they talked about this back in very early 2014 when they started their first website up and running. At the time they were trying to bring in 9mm geco ammo by the container full due to the ammo crisis then.
IIRC it came out to be cheaper to go directly to raug and have them private label.
Maybe they went to S&B this time.This message has been edited. Last edited by: DSgrouse,

SGA currently has 500 round batches of IMI 55gr. fmj 5.56. Price could be better, but considering what's happening, it's not too bad, about $215 plus taxes and delivery.

It’s showing out of stock...lessons to be learned from this...as Para posted a few years ago...“buy what you need When things are quiet”...reloading stuff bullets, primers and powder is about the same around here at the local toy stores (one is trying to get $10 per 100 Wolf small rifle primers...no longer doing business with them). It’s everywhere

I got a note that it has been shipped. I contacted them and they told me I had not sent them the documentation they needed. I sent it and the product is in transit.
