Shadowsmith Ammo

08/12/2024

Greetings all!

After a slow summer, things have started to pick up. As we all know, Election years tend to create volatility in the ammo market. Right now supplies are good, but prices on the common calibers are starting to creep up; In particular, 9mm 5.56 and 223. I expect to see demand increase throughout the fall. Unless the manufacturers have planned for this, increased demand and fixed supply will lead to higher prices.

Steel cased 7.62x39 has risen in price to the point where it is almost as much as brass. We still stock both.

Still not seeing a lot of bulk buying, but demand is quite firm for smaller quantities.

Hunting ammo is way up from last year and that's not panic pricing, the wholesale cost has risen dramatically.

As always, text or email for any information you may need or any questions you would like answered. I prefer not to say much specific here, since I never know what will offend the facebook censors.

I wish you all a great rest of the year.

Greetings all. It seems I have run afoul of some facebook community rules by mentioning our website or linking to it. I'm becoming more and more frustrated with Facebook. I realize it is largely a social platform and not set up for business, especially a business like ours.

I urge all of you follwing us here to look beyond face book for updates from us. You can visit us on line by typing in our name (one word) dot com.

I have messaged facebook asking what rules I violated and the best answer is that since we sell a product that is restricted in some countries in the world, we can't mention that product here. Stupid rule, but their house their rules. Yes, I'm aware that there are plenty of other companies that operate in the same sector we do and they are able to post seemingly what ever they want.

I'm not bitter, but I don't really care what facebook thinks. I don't need them and their community will be poorer for our not being here.

Please don't try and reach us through facebook. There are several ways to find us, a quick google search will bring you to our warehouse, our website, our phone number, and our email address.

God bless you all.

Friends:

We have taken the plunge and gone online.
www.shadowsmith.net or www.shadowsmithammo.com will get you there. What you will see is the fulfillment side of the website. These are products that will be dropped shipped directly to you. (You must be 18 and a US resident.). Our legendary gunshow inventory is not there yet.

Going forward the best way to reach us will be through the website, by phone or by text.

Facebook blocked my last post about our increased inventory, more that double what we usually have, so I'm sorry you didn't get to see it.

We are a family owned business operating in Cartersville GA since 2012. We specialize in old, rare, obsolete, or hard to find calibers. Of course we offer the lowest prices on rounds like 9mm, 223 and 5.56 NATO, and all the common Rifle, Pistol, and Rimfire calibers.

CCI, Federal, HEVI-Shot, Re*****on and Speer are now owned by this one individual.

Here is the latest in the Ammo world. Wi******er is not fulfilling commercial orders of ammunition produced at their Lake City Plant. That would be 5.56, 7.62x51 and 50 BMG. No word on other plants' production. Hornady had a fire at one of their powder plants which will probably affect their production. They haven't said, so we don't know which plant or what powder is affected.

There is a 90 day ban on the export of fi****ms and ammunition. Prices for 223 and 5.56 have increased about 25% in the past month. 300AAC Blackout has increased in price but only about 10%. Most other calibers have been unaffected.

Greetings all! Man it has been a while since I posted last. Fortunately, most of you know to call or text rather than message me here.

Beth and I have been working sourcing cheap ammo for target shooting, and not so cheap ammo for you collectors or hunters. Need 7mm STW or 338 Win Mag. or anything else you "can't find anywhere"? Give me a call, I may have it in stock. If I don't have it I may be able to get it so let me know what you need!

The shows have been moderately busy over the summer but now that we are coming into hunting season they are picking up. Expect to see it busy through the rest of the year.

The common calibers are cheap and getting cheaper. Don't load up on any of it unless you plan to shoot it in the next few months. I don't think we have seen the bottom. But if you need 35 Re*****on, 32-20, 44-40 and the like buy it when you see it. Supply is spotty and the prices on it keep going up.

The supply of primers for you reloaders has beren sporadic, and while we don't usually carry primers we have them now because people keep asking for them. Currently we have small pistol, small rifle, large rifle, small pistol magnum and shotgun in stock. If you need large rifle and can find them, buy them they have dried up again.

Merry Mid Christmas Season to everyone.

Inventory update: We now have the impossible to find 35 Re*****on, 375 Win., 30-40 Krag, and 256 Win. We have 410 birdshot, buckshot and slugs. 50 AE, 500 SW, 458 SOCOM, and most of the unusual calibers we are known for. And for as long as it lasts, we are selling 1000 rounds of 124gr 9mm NATO for $300 per thousand! I only have 20,000 and I don't know if I'll get any more. This is boxer primed, brass case, non corrosive, new production, NATO spec made in Turkey. I've shot it out of everything from a Sig 365 to an HK MP5 and it runs flawlessly.

I'm being inundated with Black Friday sales adds. Today is November 14th. Shadowsmith Ammo will NOT have a Black Friday sale. We don't have labor day, Memorial Day, Valentines Day, President's Day, or any other holiday sales. We believe each holiday has a purpose, and it is not for us to try and separate you from your money. This Thanksgiving, be thankful for the blessings bestowed on you. This Christmas, recognize the holiday for what it is and celebrate it if you chose. Use the New Year holiday to look ahead and be optimistic for what the new year will bring. We offer quality ammunition at fair prices all year long. We don't need to have "sales".

Thank you.

Friday Feb 5th. We'll be at the Gem Capital Gun show at the Olympic Horse Park in Conyers this weekend. I hear the building has no heat so if you're planning to visit, bundle up. New arrivals this week include Speer GD 22 magnum, Federal 243 Win, Federal 30-06, more 9mm, 40 Smith and Wesson, Federal 22lr, and 357 Magnum. That's one unicorn found, two more to go (38 special and 380). In the lesser popular calibers we got some 224 Valkyre, linked 308 (perfect for your belt fed), and 50 BMG. The 50 is really nice. Lake City, linked 4:1 ball/tracer in new ammo cans. This was Middle East contract production, 2018, as the labels are in Arabic and English. We have steel case 300 blackout, lots of 12 gauge slugs and some #4 buckshot. We have a few flats left of 20 gauge #8 and 12 gauge #8. Arriving tomorrow is 44 magnum!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Currently in stock we have a pretty good supply of 9mm, 5.56, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, 7.62x39, 12 gauge slugs, minimags and (insert gasp and applause) 6.5 Creedmore. Ammunition is not getting easier to find and prices haven't softened at all. I expect continued strong demand combined with supply shortages will keep prices firm for the next few months.

We continue to see increased traffic at the warehouse as word gets around that we have many of the more common calibers in stock.

Greetings friends.

Wow! Two posts in 24 hours. A record. Here is what is arriving this week. Don't call before Thursday, because it won't be here before Thursday. 9mm, 40sw Speer Gold Dot 223, and CCI mini mags.

Gem Capitol is promoting a gun Show in Columbus this weekend and if you are in the area, you should check it out. We will not be there because we don't have enough inventory to support it.

Stay tuned for updates!

Greetings friends,

I hope your new year is off to a6 wonderful start. Who was it who said "may you live in interesting times?" In eight years of selling ammo, we've never seen a market like this. Severly limited supply, and almost unlimited demand. We are working harder than ever to source ammo and since March of last year, have done a pretty good job. Alas, we find ourselves in the same situation as almost everyone else. 9mm, 380, 38 special, 5.56 and of course all the hunting calibers have all but disappeared from the market. We have been swamped with calls and blessed with people visiting the warehouse to buy ammo. Sadly, we've sold it faster than we can replace it. We were at the busiest gun show in our experience this weekend and came home with almost no ammunition. We'll see what next week brings. Stay tuned here for updates on what is available.
