Found 380 last week for $17.99 for 50 rds. The owner told me he just sent 1/2 a case down to the gun show. I joked that he could get twice as much at the gun show for it. He just smiled. He had more ammo than I have seen in months. Bought a 500 pack of .22 for $20 or so. 9mm for $14.99 a box, remington white box. Getting a bit better around here.

I heard that some 380 is in the pipeline but once it arrives I don't think the round count will be high enough to cover demand. I did notice that the price for ammo will vary depending on the store.

Not much showing up here. All still scarce. Keep getting the same answer. Hard to get, and gone soon as it hits the shelf.

wally world here seems to have rifle rounds in stock the last 4 or 5 times i've gone. couple .223 bulk packs even. Saw a box of .44 mag one time and a decent amount of .40 cal. still no 9 or .45 but i reload so i'm more concerned about primers

It is sporadic around here, but at least it is coming in and I plan on buying a few more boxes. Like retsup99 said, it may be short lived.

I have a dumb question. Is the 380 that popular? Why is that cal. so exhausted?

Majorlk

Not a dumb question at all.

The reason the ammo is scarce in some parts of the country is two-fold.

First, there are many, many new gun owners and many are buying .380 guns - more than at any time in recent history.

The second reason is that, until the current buying frenzy, this was not all that popular a caliber and most manufacturers only made one or two production runs a year, and they were in modest amounts, compared to other calibers.

I actually found 9mm, .38, .40, and .45 at Walmart last week. Bought some 9 and left the rest for other people. Hope this is a sign of good things to come.

Good to hear about the .380 showing up in stores again.
I have a friend that carrys a KelTec and he has been
sweating about it lately.
I found some 9mm at WW last night , 147gr. JHP
for $13.97 for a box of 50 is hard to beat.
