I never had trouble getting what I "needed"...but then I didn't go to stores in the first place. Local gun shows still had a good supply.

At one point this spring ammo was getting so scarce one dealer (who normally doesn't sell ammo) went in back and came out with a can of surplus GI .45. I bought three boxes just for the novelty...it was mostly WW2 ammo repacked into 50 round boxes in the sixties by Olin-Matheson, with no consistency as to maker or year.

They found some real crap to repackage too...can you imagine loading your .45 or Thompson mags before going out into the Vietnamese jungle (or into a tunnel) and finding Peters ammo from 1917????
