Man, I have been trying to get 155 gr and 200 gr 10mm and 300 gr .430" XTPs for weeks from my local gun shop without any luck. Last night I checked Cabelas, Midway, Midsouth - no body has any.
The gun shop owner thinks that because of all the buying of guns lately, people are buying ammo for them and the manufactures can't keep up. Sounds logical.

you JUST finding that out? I shoot the pistol bullets out of my Pro Hunter and have fond zilch in 10 mm 2000 grain or any of the popular bullets we talk about heree. What this means is I will have ot purchase the more expensive bullets or sit on my butt ands watch others shoot.

Thank goodness I have a good supply and can cast 44 bullets.

Natchez has the .44 cal 300g XTP's in stock right now...

Best bet is to get a backorder set up and wait....that's what I'm on to get 40cal bullets for my Glock.

People started hoarding after the election and now it's feeding on itself.

You may want to search the classified ads on here and other boards. Craigslist in another. I have gone this route in the past month or two when my normal resources showed back order.

I have also seen people working bullet and (local) primer trades. Place a WTB classified and see if someone can help you out.

Makes me glad I have a .390 and .530 bag mold for my flintlocks...

The way things are going, they might be coming back...[]

This is why I buy a box of .30-06 Core Lokt's every time I go to Bass Pro. Even if I'm not shooting them. But some would say I am contributing to the problem.

I have a decent supply but was thinking about getting more. thanks for the Natchez tip.

Boy did I luck out today. Drove by a tiny little gun shop out in the country. Pulled a U turn and went in. Picked up a box of 155 gr 10mm Hornady XTPs, and 2 boxes of Sierra 300 gr JSP .451" that he had sitting on the shelf. I feel a little more comfortable now that I have some more bullets on my shelf.
