Of course I go on TS today and they have a bunch of Barnes 125gr. Not cheap but in stock. They got me for a Prime membership too.

Either they sold out in 16 minutes or I don’t see em.
I’ve been going through about a case a week now that I have nothing better to do than go to the range and I’m running low on ammo. If anyone manages to snag an extra case of cheep 9mm, there’s a case of beer in it for you.

Yeah, I went there right after I saw this and nothing.

Just happened to check their website to see if they had any .38spl jhp in brands other than my favorite. Lo and behold! They have 99+ of Speer Gold Dot. Grabbed a case just because everything is so hard to find now.
Had a little trouble with the shopping cart feature, but after about 5 minutes I was able to finish the transaction. Probably overloaded with purchases.
Happy to give them my business.
UPDATE: 4:45pm same day: Just got an email from UPS that I have a shipment being delivered tomorrow from Target Sports USA.
24 hour turn-around!
UPDATE: delivered. 24 hours from ordering to getting it. And I'm not a Prime member.

This has been mentioned elsewhere on this forum, but figured I'd mention it here as well. UPS (and Fedex) now adding a $24 surcharge to any packages weighing in excess of 50 lbs. So this could have an impact on any large ammo purchases.

UPS, FedEx Fees on Heavy Packages to Hit Consumers and Merchants
FedEx and UPS are escalating their war on bulky items by levying a $24 fee on packages weighing more than 50 pounds.

It’s probably because of all the wear and tear on my UPS guy’s Nissan Sentra with Connecticut plates. Lots of miles and heavy deliveries.

You need any 38 spl range/target ammo? I know of a vendor with tons of 158 gr 38 spl lead round nose ammo for $14 per box shipped (if buying 1k) if interested. They also have some 125 gr +p jacketed ammo for good prices ($337 per 1k shipped). PM if interested.
Great prices on 357 mag ammo too.

Barnes 110 TSX was in stock at targetsports 1-2 weeks ago. Of course it went quickly, but it made me realize I need to send my TS alerts as texts instead of emails.

My last package delivered Monday weighed 48 lbs. Just under surcharge
This 50 lbs thing isn't new. My fiberglass supply guy has been saying it for at least a few years. He will ship me up to 4 gallons of resin per package but not 5 (9 lbs a gallon so after packing is over 50)..
Basically resins come in 1 gallon jugs or cans, 5 gallon buckets, or 55 gallon drums (freight obviously).. 5 gallon buckets don't typically get shipped because of this, I wait until he is doing a string of deliveries or I buy 4 gallons at a time to hold me over.

lol. Couldn't resist.
$257., if you're referring to the $0.24 cent 9mm I was mentioning plus tax, is actually some of the lower pricing I've seen there recently because most of the stuff they have left is like $0.80 hollow points. Agreed though that this is still steep considering this same ammo was probably $0.18-0.19 before lock down. Definitely a seller's market. Still better than the $0.40 or so that Cheaper than Dirt is trying to shill for the same type of round.
Just bought a case of 9mm 124gr at $0.28 per round. A little bit of me died on the inside.

Honestly, right now, I'd do that too. Or at least a half case. I haven't shot anything in close to 2.5 months.
I have ammo, but that's my long term storage emergency ammo. This sucks.
If you ever see it again, buy me a second and I’ll throw $10 on top. I was doing homework all afternoon and caught the tail end of them having 9mm in stock 40 minutes ago. Took a case out of my cart and then 10 boxes out of my cart as I was checking out. Beyond pissed. They Went from 10cs. and 99+ boxes in stock to absolutely nothing in less than 3 minutes. First time I’ve seen 124grn in stock in a while as well.
The text alerts are useless and I have zero free time to sit around and refresh the recently added list. I was beyond poor when ammo was available and cheap, and now that I have some money saved up and room on a credit card, it’s far more expensive and virtually impossible to get. Next person to say “shoulda bought it cheap and stacked it deep! Hurrr Derrr!!” gets a swift kick in the shin.
sorry, done bitching. For now.
I found checking in at around 10am seems to be the sweet spot for new stock online. I may pick up another case next time I see them in case anyone here wants it.
Since I’m loaded and bloated I haven’t been checking TS as carefully as I used to. Seems the ammo run was picking up again?
Picking up, again? It never subsided. Well, at least by my eye. I could just suck at tracking down ammo.
There was a slowdown for like a week or two. 9mm was sitting in stock for a few days. Same with 2.23/5.56. It was a short period. My guess it was right before the blm protests.
35lb’er delivered this afternoon
