More concerned about the refinery...Has anyone seen any Remington ammo yet since they have restarted their factories?
nice score. its been getting noticeably worse in my experience and everything is going for more and more than it was 2 weeks ago. crazy times for sureMade my rounds this Saturday and definitely seeing a small improvement in ammo availability. Runnings in Claremont was selling so.e Blazer 9mm. But the score of the weekend was at Alstead Gun Shop. CCI HV 22LR @ ten bucks per hundred. They were limiting them, but I got 500 for fifty bucks.

We won't be seeing new Remington firearms anytime soon. That's for sure.
What has really taken me by surprise is the shortage/high price of shotgun target loads. It never occurred to me to stockpile target loads. I usually buy 8-10 cases at the beginning of clays season and it gets me and the wife through most of the summer. Now all thats around are individual boxes at 3 and 4 times last years price and quantity limits.
It would be worse if the lockdown wasn't depressing weekend session participation.What has really taken me by surprise is the shortage/high price of shotgun target loads.

+1. Already looking for an o/u for this reason.Actually I think the opposite has happened, I bet there are more people doing shotgun sports now than ever.... I mean think about it say your competitive pistol shooter and you just happen to have a couple of shotguns.... well last year you'd probably be like "well f*** it I'll just shoot sporting clays or skeet, trap or something. At least i can buy that stuff. "

Did manufacturers shift all their production over to buck shot and slugs?
It never made financial or time sense for me to invest in reloading shotshells and now there are shotgun primer and lead shot shortages not to mention press scarcity.
Fortunately, I did stockpile m2ball and will have to go through a pile of that this summer
I usually keep a flat or so, (10 boxes), of 20GA and of 12GA for shooting skeet. I noticed that there wasn't any in Walmart or Bass Pro; so started asking my friends who are serious about shotguns. It's hard to find; and they're in the same position as I am with regards to primers - they can't find them; or at least not at reasonable prices.
Both the trap and sporting clays programs I know about are operating at reduced capacityActually I think the opposite has happened, I bet there are more people doing shotgun sports now than ever....

Both the trap and sporting clays programs I know about are operating at reduced capacity
(preregistration required, group size limits, and no admittance to indoor shelters).
Also I know a guy whose deliberately not set foot on the fields in a year,
because coronavirus. How many more are there?
I'm sure some guys must have come down with cabin fever
and discovered a strange new interest in shotgun sports.
But is it more than the number that are locked down?
So while I don't track headcounts,
it seems like the lockdown caused less opportunity and potentially less demand.
Again, this is a pandemic thing not a SHTF ammo-hoarding thing.
The question is how they interact in totality.
Picked up a bucket today at Seabrook Walmart for $64 (4.5 cpr). I didn't go there looking for it, but was surprised they had 2 buckets left on the shelf. Only one to a customer. Everything else was barren except I think for a box of 350 Legend.Yes, seeing golden bullet 22lr and some other stuff starting to percolate into the channel.
At my home club (Trap and Skeet) we are running at record breaking attendance as a result of COVID and the upsurge in new members. We are going through targets and ammunition at a pace we have never seen before.
Their 1911s were bargains. But that's a crowded market to begin with.True, but I don't think anyone really cares. Outside of stuff like the 870 Police, most of their product line had turned into a raft of garbage.

Not given how poor the QC was. Those things were dumpster fires. I used to sell them when I worked the shows. Every f***ing gun was fitted differently... There might have been like 1 in 4 I would take a leap on.Their 1911s were bargains. But that's a crowded market to begin with.
Dude, I can't find a nice 1911 to save my life.
I spent all afternoon yesterday combing gun stores and all they had were RIA and some Turkish made guns (Tilas, I think).
The one I bought had everything fitted perfectly except for the trigger having slight side to side play until I tapered the trigger bow with a tool from Brownells.Not given how poor the QC was.
