I back-ordered some through cabelas and have managed to find some in the local gun shops. Guy at the gun shop today said he had heard they had been on strike and that there was a possibility of Hornaday starting to make the round.
I hope so..any one else heard this? |

Sorry boys. This is exactly why I wont buy into all these crazy calibers. Just like all the Winchester short magnums. You buy into these and then theres no ammo or what is available is high and keeps getting higher. I'll stick with the normal calibers that you can get ammo for without all the panic buying.

Widener's is out of stock right now, but again, $18.75/50: http://wideners.com/itemview.cfm?dir=18|829|844 Unless of course you have to have it right now, or by deployed do you mean you'll have it waiting for you at home? |

I went to the Austin Texas Gun show today, and about had a heart attack when I saw the price of 5.7 ammo dealers wanted. Only two dealers had it ss197 one was $37 the other was $40 I was horrified. The $37 dealer had American Eagle for $29 a box.
   I just keep walking.

Supposedly the backlog was caused by fulfilling a contract orde. They've released statements that demand for 5.7 ammo has skyrocketed, so they've bumped up production, and have claimed that the bump should be catching up very soon |

I usually try to see the bright side of things... Who knows. Fiocchi and FN are the only two loaders right now. Federal simply reboxes the ammo. IIRC some of the SS190 was originally loaded by Winchester. It uses common powder, and common bullets. Only special is the brass with it's coating. There are more firearms coming out in 5.7x28mm, so it's hard to say what other manufacturers will do. |

There's a lot of speculation right now. I saw someone trying to sell 500 rounds for $500 or so. It's a problem when only one or two manufacture it. But it should go back to the normal price of $20 per 50 rounds soon, as long as people do not panic and do not feed speculators.

I saw the same outrageous gun show pricing the other week. But I had back ordered with Cabelas a month or so ago and just got a email this morning. 439.99 for 1k rounds and free ammo can. So around $22 bucks a box not bad. It is no longer back order-able if they are sending mine out hopefully they will show it in stock again.

They have stopped talking orders for "This season" as I was told over the phone, I think they just have so many back orders to fill that they want to clear them all before even considering taking any more orders. Right now your best bet it to look at your LGS or gun broker, I found two boxes of SS197 at bass pro this past weekend for $26.

I can't believe how long it's taking to get any reasonable 5.7 stock anywhere. This ammo shortage started long before the current "panic buying" was even a thought.
I just called the main FNH USA number and tried to speak to a customer service rep to ask for a more official status update. I was able to leave a message, but my magic "8-ball" is telling me I probably won't hear back!

Went to the LGS to get some 5.7, they had a ton, say about 80 -100 boxes. You ready for this? $50 per box!
. No wonder they had so much. According to the guy at the store, you can't get the gun or ammo anymore.

I just ordered 30 boxes last week @ $23.99 a box and should have it tomorrow. EDIT: Also, the newest batches of SS197 SR have lead free primers in them. |
