Rumor has it that Commercial ammo and military supply chains are sucking them dry.
I bought 3k BR2’s and 2k Federals for my 6 creeds back in the spring, and haven’t really seen more since then, but I also haven’t been looking terribly hard either. I didn’t terribly enjoy what I paid for any of them, but I paid what I had to pay to get them and now I have them, and will pay what I have to pay again when I find more. I am getting a bad need for Federal 215M’s for my new Big Gun, but I have 5k on order with a local shop, and I probably won’t like what I will pay for them when they arrive either. But I’ll have them when they come.
