Invisible Ammo from Georgia Arms

[Sweetpea]

I ordered .45 acp ammo from Georgia Arms back in MAY and still have not received it. I emailed them a week ago and they said they were having trouble getting the brass and it would be a couple more weeks. Is anyone else in the same boat? I'm not desperate for ammo so the wait isn't killing me but I am starting to get ticked off! Am I being unreasonable?

Cabelas has .45 ACP - MFS $22/50 - they say large quantities in stock. I just put 20 boxes in the cart and it says in stock. They also got other .45 too I think. I've got some on the shelf but havent tried it yet. I've heard its ok stuff.

Btw, if I'm after .45 I hit Cabelas first then Ammo to Go. Works for me and I'm flush with it.

Don't feel bad - I just got 1 of 3 boxes this past week of .380 from Cabelas that I ordered back in April! I suppose at this rate, I'll get the other 2 boxes in the next year... I had actually forgotten about it as I found .380 at several other sites and stocked up, but I'm not gonna turn it down...

If you're looking for .45, ammunitiontogo.com also has some - it's frangible so it's probably not quite as cheap as typical FMJ...

[zephyp]

Yes .45 ACP is now readily available. Cabelas and Ammo to Go are the 2 places I go. Cabelas has FMJ now - 230 gr FMJ $22/50 just waiting for you to order it.

Natchez has several differnt types of 45 in stock right now. I like them, as I can select the ammo I want, and have a notice emailed to me when they get it in. Prices always seem reasonable, and shipping is quick.

i still dont get the whole backorder thing with them especially if they can show up at a gunshow with product.

From what I saw in Chantilly, they didn't have much product. I have talked to others about Georgia Arms and they reload once-fired military casings. The military apparently cut them off some time ago with some bureaucratic BS saying that it was required to crush all of the casings. I believe it was only a couple of months ago that the military reversed that policy so Georgia Arms is trying to catch up. Like the others say, Cabela's has stock although I am backordered on some 9mm that I ordered from them. If you don't want large quantities, Dicks SG is starting to get ammo again.

$22/50 seems high to me, I've been able to find WWB at walmart for about $16 -$17 and Remington UMC at Dick's for $19.99. Granted you may have to do a little leg work for it but that's part of the fun for me.

I can't imagine why any company would want to depend on once-fired military brass for .45acp now. In the past, when the military still had a pile of 1911's, I could understand relying on it as a source. I can't see that there are enough 1911's in use by the military now to provide a reliable source of brass, so why would want to rely on a source like that?

Where do you live? I havent seen .45 or 9mm at any walmart I've visited here in NOVA for some time. I do see it occasionally at the Dicks in Fair Lakes but I dont get over there very often. As for WWB in HG calibers, I havent seen that in a store for a long time. of course thats way up here in occupied territory.

Wal-Mart in Fredericksburg (Central Park) had 9mm for $9.50/box last time I was there. You drove within a mile of it when you went to Gander Mountain.

Come to think of it, if you had gone to Gander Mountain several years ago you would have been at Wal-Mart.

Thanks all. Glad to know I am not the only one waiting forever. I do think I am going to cancel my order and do some store hunting. Going to a Bass Pro shop for the first time tomorrow. Maybe I'll strike gold there. I check the walmarts here in the alexandria area and never find anything either. And they all seem to look at me like I am a bug, as if a woman looking for ammo is an oddity.

[Moccasin]

Which Bass Pro are you headed to? Richmond or the one in MD?

I'm near Quantico, I usually check the Walmart on rt1 in Dumfries & the walmart near Potomac Mills in Woodbridge. The Dumfries Walmart Had WWB 100 rnd value packs yesterday, but today they were gone.

sweetpea, the Walmart in Kingstown usually has ammo on Friday mornings (Thursady night shipment), although I haven't been there in a while. Last I heard, when the doors open at 6am the people who are waiting for ammo literally run to the back of the store to get their goods. There's a Black woman that works in sporting goods that is very knowledgeable about what ammo will be on the next shipment. Every other Walmart I go to they say they don't know what's coming.

... Walmart in FairLakes almost never has .45 ammo; they do have .40, .380spl and 9mm (along with assorted 223/5.56, shotgun shells 12/16/20g, .22).

I'll ask about .45 next time I am over there; there are three folks that work Sporting good, two guys and a lady - all are very customer service friendly (703.631.9450).

... cannot say the same for Walmart folks over at Liberia/28 and Sudley (near 66 and the HomeDepot).

I shoot 9mm, it is typically about $10/box of 50/rds; or Walmart has been stocking 100/rd Winchester for about $20/box.

223/5.56 is $10/box of 20.

.40 is in 100/rd boxes and I believe at $30 a box (call to confirm that price, they sometimes have the wrong tags on the locked cabinet).

I ordered about 1k/rds from Cabela's (American Eagle FMJ's at 115/gr @ about $12/box of 50/rds) waited about 60 days, had the emails from Cabela's about delay in delivery, etc - ended up canceling when Walmart had cheaper ammo - just had to go in get 6 (or smile the clerk and get 10) and then have wife follow and do same.

Dick's usually has good SD rounds (HornadyCritical) and sometimes Speer's Gold; I'd stay away from the UltraMax reloads (250/rds @ about $65/box) - not good range-ammo in my opinion.

I was at VAC last weekend - they had .45 ammo (Mag - something was the brand) only about 15/boxes on shelf; Guns/Ammo up the way - had no .45 or 9mm.

yeah , there ya go.

I never even gave it a thought and am ashamed to say I didnt even look while I was in GM. I was in a hurry to get back home and besides I've probably got more .45/9mm than a "normal" person should be allowed to have...

Having said that I hate running all over looking for ammo. Until things settle down I'm sticking with paying a couple extra bucks and ordering from the net. Quick, reliable, and I can do it from right here while running up my post count...

Also check Sportsmansguide they are starting to get a lot of calibers back in. If I can't find it local I usually shop for ammo there.

I went to the one near Richmond today. OMG! That is just about the COOLEST store I have ever been to! It's even better than the Cabelas I used to go to when I lived in PA.
