I want to take a moment and bring everyone up to speed as to current market conditions. Ammunition stocks at this time is very good. I recently checked some local sporting good stores and, for the most part, they were fully stocked. And, the components market is getting a little better. Product is arriving at suppliers but the real problem at this time is powder.
At present, primers are starting to appear, and even though slowly, prices are starting to drop. But, powder is still scarce. There is some product available, but for most part it is limited, and not a great selection. Some powders have not been available for some time now with no shipping dates available. Shotgun and some pistol powders have not been available for a few years.
The main issue for the components market is prices, which have been rising expediently, and there is no end in sight. Powder, in many cases prices have just about quadrupled what they were a few years ago. While primers are still triple what they were just a few years back, but they are starting to come down in price., but I fear it will take a while to get back a reasonable level.
I am taking orders at present, but please understand, depending on what you are looking for, prices for some ammo maybe more and double what it was just a year ago. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about the price increases.

Why fiddlin-around.com?
Well, among my many passions, and right at the top, is my love of Celtic fiddle music. I play the violin and have studied Irish, Scottish and English folk music for as long as I can remember. So, when I'm not fiddlin', I'm "fiddlin" around with my ammunition - hence fiddlin-around.
PLEASE NOTE
Some states require their residents to present a copy of a firearms/ammunition owner’s identification card when purchasing ammunition, and others have different requirements. Below is a list of some of the states with special requirements for the interstate - internet purchase of ammunition.
Instructions for Illinois Ammunition Sales:
Instructions for Massachusetts Ammunition Sales:
I cannot ship ammunition to MA residents directly. Orders made must be shipped to a FFL dealer or to a valid Licensee to Sell Ammunition Permit holder. A copy of the FFL MUST be provided to me before any ammunition can be shipped. Therefore I am not shipping any ammunition to Massachusetts.
Instructions for Connecticut Ammunition Sales:
Instructions for New Jersey Ammunition Sales:
CALIFORNIA CUSTOMERS:
No sales of ammunition can delivered in the State of California directly to the consumer. All Internet - interstate sales of ammunition to California must be sent to a registered and licensed ammunition dealer. Therefore I am not shipping any ammunition to California.
Maryland
In Maryland, it is legal to ship ammo, except to Annapolis. Therefore I can not ship any ammunition to a resident of Annapolis.
Federal Requirements
The 1968 Gun Control Act prohibits handgun ammo sales to anyone under 21 and long gun ammo to anyone under 18. Although some states may allow ammunition possession for those younger than 21 or 18, respectively, federal law prohibits the sale of ammo to minors. If I suspect someone is under aged, I will require proof of age before a sale can be made.
