I have been looking for certain bullets for over a year, it long ago got very ridiculous. I know most people have long ago figured this out, but I am still wonder where all of the bullets are going. I have given up on Berger, I don't know who they are actually selling their bullets to, but I am sure they are not selling the many tons of bullets they are producing to US companies that sell bullets to the public. I am absolutely sure of that. They keep lying to me, telling me they are shipping out tons of bullets blah blah blah. I have rifles in many calibers. I do searches for bullets all the time, in many calibers. 80% of the time what I find is Hornady, always Hornady bullets I would not use if someone gave to me. The few Hornady bullets that I have found are good bullets, I have not found in stock anywhere since this deal started, just like Berger bullets.
Without question, Berger lies about who they are selling their bullets to and or where those tons of bullets are going. The guy that answers the phone every time, says he does not know where the bullets are going, only sales would know that info. So he works for a company and does not know who their good customers are or who their best customers are? I have never worked in sales, and every company I have ever worked for, I knew who our customers were. Then I always get these stories of what bullets they are in the process of making, what bullets are up next to be made and when they last made the bullets I have been looking for. Then I have been told to click on those notify me when the produce is available, deals. I have clicked on the notify when when the product become available so many times, with so many companies. To this day, the only times I have gotten a email on any of those products, were some AR barrels from one company and then, those M1 carbines, that Midway had for a short time, just recently. The 30 different bullets I have clicked to notify me when available from Midway, I have not gotten a single email on any of those bullets, nor from any of the other companies.
Hornady has definitely been kicking out bullets and getting them into retailers. Sierra has been getting a few bullets in a some calibers to retailers. There are some in what they are getting out that have been useful to me, but most of the Sierra bullets that I have been using, are not in stock anywhere. Speer is also getting some bullets to retailers, but seems to be quite a bit less than what Sierra is getting to retailers.
Barnes and Berry's have been getting quite a few bullets out. Of the Barnes that would work for some of my guns, I have not been able to find anywhere, the solid copper stuff I have found quite a bit of. I just started seeing a few Swift bullets available, I have found Swift bullets at a few different retailers.
Nosler has a few choices out, in a multiple calibers, I would guess about 1/8 of the selection that would have existed two years ago. I am guessing most of what Lehigh Defense makes, is available. Then I have found some small specialty companies that make stuff I have never heard of. I am also seeing Lapua bullets, which before this whole mess started, I did not know Lapua made bullets. Been thinking about trying some, but so far, the vague descriptions I have found on the Lapua bullets I have found, they seem to be target bullets.
I have found a small amount of Winchester, Remington and Federal bullets listed for sale. I have never seen Federal bullets listed for sale anywhere in the past. I have seen Remington bullets sold in bulk, maybe Winchester bullets. Mainly Remington and Winchester brass.
I have found pretty good selections of bullets in Australia and Canada. Really gets me fired up when I find so many places in Canada with very big selections of bullets, powders and primers. I was searching for a specific bullet last night and finally had a company's web site pop up with that bullet in stock, they are in England of all places. How are there center fire rifle bullets available in England and not here?
In my searches this one company pops up every once in a while, they go by the name Raniersec, every time I click on their site, it opens very slow and then looks like you are clicking on some liberal BS page. In the description of everyone of the bullets I have looked at on their site. The description starts off with "These are bullet tips NOT complete rounds". That sounds very much like it was written by someone who knows nothing of guns, ammo, firearms. I finally did a search on them. A bunch of stuff popped up on them being a complete scam. Which I figured, they are often the only company that lists a specific bullet I am looking for, then the price is always very good. I was very leery of them from the first time I got one of their pages to open up.
Then I found a place called Rebel Gun Works, at first I thought I had hit the secret stash of bullets. Then I saw their prices, then there were other things, that make me very leery of them being a complete scam. Don't remember what I saw that made me think scam web site, but I was pretty sure they are, I am usually correct. I have not looked them up, to see what is people have to say about them. Their prices are insanely high.
Other things I have found, don't waste your time trying to use Gun Bot, it's a complete joke. it will only show the same five different companies, and about 90% of what Gun Bot claims those companies have, they don't have. I am 90% sure those companies are paying Gun Bot to send people to them. The companies on that list are Cabela's, Natchez, AIG, Powder Valley, then one or two more companies. Those are the only companies that will show up on Gun Bot.
I have found Ammo Seek to be a good source of finding things, what is listed on their site as being available, usually is available, for the price they show for that product, through that company.
