Was really surprised at the ammo I'm seeing in store's a lot people
talking about no 308, seen a lot of it today in 2 stores, not gun shops, maybe just under the radar.
And one of the got a shipment of ammo while I was there, someone
took all they got of 223, I even had to wait for the tax stamps
to be put on each box after I paid for it...

Midsouth Shooters Supply is sold out of all of its cheap ammo. So is walmart. Walmart got in 5 223 rifles today and sold them within minutes. They never made em in the display case i heard. This was in Clarksville. I think everyone is buying it all to resale at the gun shows. A guy at work went to the gun show somewhere in Nashville this past weekend and said the ar's were selling for double the walmart price and so was the ammo. He said cheapest 9mm was $30 per 50.

Academy sports in Smyrna was very low and out of a lot of ammo the other day.... But I can't find large rifle primers anywhere on the net either so .... This panic buying is gonna bring prices way up. But this time I think some of the panic buying is justifiable

Just bought a 22lr pistol and I'm having a time finding ammo. Going to try a couple different stores that aren't close to home this weekend while I'm in Knoxville.

They wouldn't sell it to you?

many are limiting how much they will sell to you.

Midway USA is limiting purchases.

Just bought a 22lr pistol and I'm having a time finding ammo. Going to try a couple different stores that aren't close to home this weekend while I'm in Knoxville. I know BP is cleaned out except for a little 22 mag and a little mor 17hmr.... They had a bunch of .223 and .22lr Wednesday morning. I bought a co-worker a couple boxes of Hornady VMAX in .223. They were proud of them though. $20 a box.
No 22lr yesterday and didn't see any 223....
