Who/where is the CCI SV?

Not a problem here. Central Fl.
Maybe guys who "over inventory" could be part of the problem. J s/n.
I agree with that statement. The lower priced, so called economy brands of ammo, are ofter harder to find than the expensive counterparts.I've been noticing a consistent shortage in the economy-brands of 9mm, .38 and .357 at Walmart lately (I'm talking about Perfecta and Federal aluminum.)
My opinion on that, is that most people, including me, believe that the economic ammo will kill zombies just as well as the premium priced ammo!!!
Thanks for the imperious lecture, but he wasn't "discussing" them, it was merely a figure of speech.Well knives and short swords are the weapon of choice for killing "Zombies" and THR is not about discussing them.
I'm pretty sure he, and virtually everyone else here, is already well aware of this.FMJ bullets are not as effective as JHP bullets for self-defense.
Again, this is such overwhelmingly common knowledge, I'm scratching my head why you felt the need to post it.FMJ is also the good too choice for semi-autos that will not feed hollowpoints.
Economy priced FMJ ammunition is best used for target practice for shooters that do not reload. .
I have not seen a shortage of economy priced ammunition in my area. Even Wal-Mart has it in stock.
What I have seen is 22 L.R. is WAY OVERPRICED

No one said anything that implied a need for it.
agreed 100%, and starting threads like this one before , here on our own forum :Agreed.
Remember during one of the earlier shortages where yutzes would post photos of their hoards as if they were their firstborn? Sad...
Interesting thread. I'm totally in agreement with Warp. The OP asked a simple question and suddenly, folks who post about ammo shortages or the folks who buy ammo in bulk are the problem, not the politicians who advocate for more regulations and confiscation. Maybe if we all keep quiet, the gun grabbers will all go away? Sounds like a plan....
During that last long drought, I hardly bought any ammo, I had my little stash already set back (I don't hand load). Began restocking when prices got back to reasonable and placed my last order for the foreseeable future (couple years or so) last week and bought mainly 9MM at $0.20, .223 at $0.30, and all the premium carry ammo I hope to ever need which includes a couple daughters who will become CHL carriers in the next couple years. UPS delivered 3 boxes/140 lbs. So am I the problem? I guess if you have more ammo then me, I'm not, but if I have more than you, I'm a hoarder? LOL!
IMO, the days of stopping by Walmart on the way to the range and knowing all the ammo you'd want would be on the shelf waiting are over. Happens, but not always...
If anything good came from this last 7 years, it the number of new shooters hitting the ranges. Yeah, it may have drawbacks, but more gun owners who vote are a GOOD thing.
So, OP, head over to www.sgammo.com, get on their mailing list, and hopefully, they will be able to meet your needs.
Best wishes to all, and remember, we (99% of folks on this forum) are NOT the problem.
Take Care,
Buzz
Thanks, Buzz - I'm already there. Got 6k rounds from SGAmmo the end of March. The wife keeps asking "DO we have enough?", so I don't think we have too much...
If I were starting to make a guess I'd point out that so far we've gone through the 2008 and then the 2012/13 panics and now we're approaching the Nov 2016 presidential elections with one of the candidates being the most rabidly anti-gun and anti-freedom that we've had within living memory.I expected that as November approaches, but has anyone else noticed this trend?
Maybe just tax returns getting invested in ammo, but my usual sources online are out of most of what I prefer, and ammoseek.com is showing rising 10-15% prices and shrinking supply.
Or maybe it's just more guys like me are stocking up more than we ever have before. I haven't had this much on hand since I quit competing back in the '80s.

Add to that the fact with each successive panic we've added new gun owners each time who've either come of age since then or decided that it's better to just buy a gun before some classes of guns become unavailable or illegal and that these new shooters have developed some interest in gun ownership. Logically both of those types of new gun owners are going to want to shoot their new guns in addition to the millions of existing gun owners.
So I'd say that at least until Nov 2016 the availability of guns, ammunition and accessories and almost certainly prices are almost likely to fluctuate wildly. Hopefully after November things will settle down.
Let's not pretend like the current POTUS isn't rabidly anti-gun and hasn't done everything he could to ban or infringe on whatever was possible, to include a huge emotionally laden PR event. But what was accomplished (federal level)? Not a damn thing.
