Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current ammunition availability situation according to the video?

The video suggests that while shotgun ammunition is becoming more available, 9mm and .45 ACP remain scarce and disappear quickly from shelves. The overall shortage for many calibers is far from over, with prices remaining elevated.

What are the new limits at Rural King for ammunition purchases?

Rural King has implemented a strict 'two boxes per day limit' for ammunition purchases. This applies to all calibers, a change from their previous policy of allowing two boxes per caliber per day.

Where can one find ammunition with no purchase limits?

Walmart stores are mentioned as having no ammunition purchase limits. However, this often leads to rapid sell-outs as resellers or individuals buy up all available stock.

9mm Luger 115-grain FMJ is currently around $21.99 for 50 rounds (44 cents/round), though prices vary by brand. .45 ACP FMJ 230-grain was found for $23.99 per box (48 cents/round), considered a decent price in the current market.
