Ammo Report- Erie Area- Post any finds here

[John_Z]

I was on craigslist looking for extra ammo, and saw someone selling at triple-quadruple the already escalated prices, so ive been hunting myself for places that regularly order ammo so I can go to the range for more than 20 minutes.

I've been scouting gun stores once or twice a week now for handgun ammo.
It is coming in, but its "limit 1-2 boxes" and once it hits the table its gone within a few hours.

One store will have nothing one day, and another will have 10 boxes of one caliber, then two days later the complete opposite.

I figured I would make a thread so we can get an idea of what places are ordering and how often they have stock to save some of us from making tons of calls. Walmart on the East Side of all places had bare shelves, but tons of ammo behind the glass at the register of sporting goods. If you see blank shelves- it doesn't always mean they are out of stock.


This is what I've found so far in March.

100 9mm 115gr Winchester FMJ $39.99 Keystone Armory
50 9mm 115gr Sellier & Bellot FMJ $15.99 Edinboro Outdoors
50 .380ACP 95gr Blazer FMJ-Al $18.99 Edinboro Outdoors
50 .380ACP 100gr Summit FMJ $19.99 Bob's
50 .380ACP 95gr Federal FMJ $22.99 Edinboro Outdoors
25 .380ACP 80gr C.O.P SCHP $19.99 Bob's
20 40S&W 165gr Hornady HP $22.99 Keystone Armory
20 9mm 124gr +P Winchester BJHP $19.99 Walmart- Elm St Erie

Ive visited Erie Sport Store, Gander Mountain, and Edinboro and Peach St Walmarts and have come up empty.

If anyone has any other places they know of please list

I stopped at Presque Isle Gun Shop this morning and picked up 2 boxes of sellier and bellot 115gr 9mm for $22.95/50 rd box. Also had Magtech 115gr +P 9mm for $22.95/ 20rd box. At least 8-10 boxes left of each. A bit pricey as I had bought the same s+b a month ago from them for $14/ 50rd box...

Edinboro Outdoors was selling those same rounds for 15.99, i bought the last of what they had on display, but might be worth the drive saving 7.00 a box. Im on the lookout for .380 ACP rounds since i bought 2 LCPs, need to break them in.

Ive never been to PI Gun shop or HER- 2 places ill have to hit up next time im in Erie.

If anybody local needs any 9mm, see my ad in the classifieds.
I didn't get it cheap but at least I have ammo now without all the running around.

i've been looking for 45acp, .223/5.56 and 7.62x54r but have come up empty with all the local stores. keystone armory had some but i didn't buy all of them in case someone else came in looking for it like i was. one of the clerks had mentioned to someone else that they're basically just using stock they had and are awaiting shipments. then again i haven't stopped back in about a week or so.

Meadville Walmart is stone empty for handgun ammo. Meadville Dunham's has a few boxes of .41 and .44...plenty of rifle...NO .22LR...

Bill's Gun Shop in Conneaut Lake had a good selection of ammunition the last time I was out there, but that was about a month ago. I'd call before I made the trip. On the other hand, Bill's is shutting down this summer, so you can get a decent deal on rifles and shotguns out there. Bill had some pretty severe strokes and can't run the store anymore. Mrs Bill doesn't have the time to care for Bill and run the store, so they are both retiring. Damned shame, since that is one of the last "old school" local gun stores around here.

I think Double LL Arms may have some ammo, but I'd call first. People check in there every day, and ammo goes right quick. Tamarack Armory doesn't sell ammo...

Titusville is pretty much cleaned out as far as I know.

And that's all I know about Crawford County.....

Walked into Peach street walmart last night, after debating even leaving the house. I wanted to test back soreness after chiropractor visit... I pull up and sit in the car on my iPad reading some gun news. I start noticing trucks rolling in and with the trucks cars kind of following them in as well and parking in the parking lot, I register it as weird and continue reading. I get up go into the store and I'm walking back to check the cage and notice a guy walk past me with what looked to be about 10 or more boxes of 40. S&W and some random smaller boxes looked like 223/556. My brain instantly says to my legs RUN! So I get back to the cage and I see 223 100 value packs of 9 mm tula basically everything. I grab a lady and stand by the cage and make sure she knows I got dibs on 3 boxes of 100 pack. I asked the guy hey whats the deal he goes you are my 3rd straight order the ammo just came in. (I'm like yeah ok those guys got a heads up on this shipment) Cleared out last night I think I left there was some small boxes of 223 a few 9mm brass and 9 mm tula steel casing left. Today nothing

The board has been pretty quite lately, I'll be in the area next week for a 45 year class reunion, I was hopping the ammo situation was better in the Erie area.
