Default WSS South Ed stocked up on ammo

Had pretty much given up on all WSS as of last year but happened to be meeting a fellow for a trade in the parking lot on the south side so popped in to waste some time and check inventory.

In all fairness I didn't check reloading inventory as I'm taking a hiatus, but the other fellow did make a point of saying they had lots of brass when i saw him again at the front.

Ammo was well stocked, as good as I've ever seen it. Lots of shotgun, tons of centrefire, and more .22lr on their shelves than I've seen in ages. Especially considering the gopher season is upon us. This time last year you couldn't trade a kidney for a box of 22lr ammo.

I'm the first to bitch when their inventory sucked for the longest time, so I'll give them their props when it's obvious that an effort has been made. Though not in the market, wish now that I'd checked their bullets selection, as well as their {gulp} powder inventory.

Yes get your stuff now cause that is likely their yearly top up of inventory, come September the shelves will probably be bare.

That's the problem, when stock is available the early birds hoard with no regard for the wannabe hoarders.

It's feast or famine out there. Problem is not hoarding, problem is there simply isn't enough product to go around, hoarding is a symptom and occurs when supplies are short.
