Ammo is finally starting to flow again up here, but local forum members who travel have reported next to nothing in Las Vegas and Omaha recently. If you're talking 450b specific components, good luck with that. Niche calibers are being edged out for production of more ubiquitous ones. Bought 10 boxes of Win Q3131 last Friday at the local fleet farm at $.50/round to frustrate the local retired scalpers. They drive around in the mornings during the work day with their wives and scarf up stuff to resell on Armslist or Gunbroker at 50-75% markup. I turned around and sold the Q3131 to a struggling college student for my cost. Lot of locals with souls are doing that to express our outrage at the scalpers. Kind of an altruistic ammo bank. We're not supposed to be taking advantage of one another, in a time of need, for the love of money. I don't know if it's just a MN thing or if its catching on nationwide. The scalping has to stop! Yes, some were hoarding out of fear of the unknown, but most of the hoarders around here have topped off their larders.
Nice to see unsold ARs on the racks again in some stores.
