For me it was a box of 250 cast RNFP for my .41 magnum when I was totally out of bullets. Thought I was going to have to break out the pot and molds.Yep. I have been looking high and low for Nosler 125 Bts. None around. Then I found a box of Speer TNTs I forgot I had.

Bet those employees are buying them for resale. Probably a 400% profit doing that. The fact that ammo is coming back means that primers will too.Sad part is a few stores are getting them but the employees are intentionally not putting them out. Around 6 months ago they had powder at one in the Austin area. I got 2 lbs of IMR 4064. More recently I scored some LR primers too. However the gun bar guys all play stupid like oh we don't have any then when I find the one decent employee who looks, he will sell me only 200 at a time.
Completely ridiculous considering it's not loaded ammo. No doubt it's all going to internal sales before it hits the shelf. I've even had them lie when I ask about powder and they'll say we haven't had any for a year, that's when I tell them I bought some there 6 months ago.
When I was lucky enough to get primers a few weeks ago I had also bought a Maverick defender. The manager saw that I had a couple primers and goes oh I didn't know we had any. That tells you the lengths the employees are going to in order to hide them and keep them off the shelves.
One guy was talking to another a while back when I saw one box of Olin Milspec buck in 25ct boxes. I grabbed it and heard they had a "ton" of it in back. I asked politely about it and got one more box. Even though their policy now states 10 boxes of shotgun ammo. They still didn't put anymore out after I got 2 boxes.
Sadly, I'll take what I can get. The primers were 6.99/100 one time and 7.99/100 a few days later. Even though I couldn't get a whole box at once, I asked for the packaging. The girl in front scanned it and a whole box was $20 less. So on top of making me go back repeatedly for 200 at a time I also have to pay more.
Once again, I'm thankful for something but overall pissed about the deceptive practices and lengths they go to in order to "play God" with their inventory.
