Anyone a sportsman's guide member? I saw ammo (fed 147 ffmj)on backorder. Can you order anyways? And how long would it take to get it?
Go ahead and "click" on the ammo you're interested in. It will say when SG expects it to arrive. In the case of that Federal 147gr 9mm, it has an expected date around the end of October (the 26th if I recall correctly.) That date might slide as people order it. Yes, you can still order it and they won't charge you for it until it ships.

AIMSurplus has Wolf steel-cased for ~$11 per box of 50 (LINK). I prefer brass, but given the situation we're in, I don't think my G19 range pistol will complain too much if it has to subsist off dirty steel-cased ammo for a bit. I ordered just 600 rounds, but at the rate I've shot since the pandemic started, that'll last me for about a year. I've gotta budget for my pre-election mag buying spree too. The Mag Shack has pretty good prices on HK pistol mags right now and some Glock mags in stock too.
I've noticed that TargetsportsUSA will sometimes "restock" ammo in the morning around the beginning of the business day. I found that I could keep refreshing the 9mm ammo link every few minutes around this time and occasionally see amazing results. Often the cheap bulk 9mm would sell out in 5 or 10 minutes! Sometimes less. You have to be quick nowadays.
That is my new ammo shopping strategy when I have free time in the morning. I think it's becoming a matter of luck to check at exactly the right moment.
