Has anyone noticed a shortage of cheap .45ACP?
I usually pick up a couple boxes every payday at Sportsmans Warehouse in Albuquerque, but their supply has been steadily dwindling and last week when I went in they had no cheap blasting .45ACP ball at all. No Wolf, CCI Blazer, Winchester White Box, UMC, Eagle, Independance, etc.
All they had was the high dollar magic bullet loads. Is this a new trend? Should I panic and order some online? Maybe it is best to start stocking up on reloading supplies again...like during the primer shortage of the early 90's.

Wow, thats supprising. .45acp is something I never check on. I loaded every round I've shot (been a few) for years.

I haven't checked wallyworld yet, but with Sportsman's Warehouse being out of stock, it's something that concerns me. Maybe unduly. But hey, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get your ammo. |

Perhaps the gun grabbers have changed tactics while we've all been busy buying up parts kits?
