Have you tried Bob's Sporting Goods on Hull St across from Costco?

I've seen tons of ammo around, at least in the 757 area

.380 isn't nearly as common in the US as it's not really deemed a 'sporting caliber' whatever that means. So some places like wal-mart don't carry it.

Huge ammo shortage. There are articles everywhere, even one in the Richmond Dispatch a few days ago.

There were lines to get into the gunshow on friday. Show up Sat or Sunday and you're SOL.

People are lining up at wal-mart at 7 AM to get ammo from trucks the night before.

The only reason places like Bass Pro Shop or Gander mountain have anything in stock is because they usually charge $10+ more a box than wal-mart or gun shows.

Consumers are buying it faster than it's being made.

Umm.....I take it you havn't looked for anything other than 9 & 45. Those 2 are the easiest to find as far as I can tell.

Bass Pro only had 5 boxes of 380 yesterday @ $25/box for Rem hp's. They didn't have any boxes on Sunday. And it's Gander that limits you to 2 boxes, not Bass Pro.
