Frequently Asked Questions
Question:Hello, will this item comeback in stock? - Aldo F (09/10/2025)
Response:Aldo, we do not have specific dates when products will be arriving. These are unprecedented times within the ammo industry. On a daily basis, we are still receiving shipments of all types of ammo calibers, however, not nearly enough to fill the demand. You may want to sign up for notifications for when any ammo in this caliber comes back into stock and try a different brand. To sign up for notifications go to My Account > Communication Tab & scroll down to Notify by Caliber. Please note - Prime Members get this alert 3 hours prior to standard customers as a benefit of their paid membership, so we might not have any inventory remaining after the Prime customers get ahold of it.
