My oldest brother visited today. He shoots an ancient model 94 32 special. He is down to less than one box of ammo and said he has not found any in the gun shops and all the online place are out of stock. He only shoots 2 or 3 the day before the opener and then again if he gets a crack at a buck, so he should be good for a couple years. He rarely hunts more than a few days a year. Shydas in Lebanon has some

I have a Winchester Commemorative in 30-30. Great shooting little rifle. I call it my “concealed carry rifle” as the barrel is a spit longer than 16” and the trigger length of pull is 13.5”. Hurts like heck to shoot full boat loads in a T-shirt.

Shydas in Lebanon has some Hard To find, and expensive when you do. Saw the local flee market ammo guy in Solana had a couple boxes, $70.00 a box. I reload my own, but even components are hard to find. Whenever I find some I grab them, if it’s a fair price.

Hurts like heck to shoot full boat loads in a T-shirt. I have the Marlin version. It kicks like my 30-06 I loaded up a few dozen using all lead FN bullets. I can't recall the velocity....but they are nowhere near the full boat jacketed rounds. These are just "take to the range and plink" rounds. Nice easy recoil, and keeps me better at using open sights.

IIRC I think if I keep the velocity below 1,300fps leading will be minimal. I don't remember excessive lead the last time I shot it....but that's been about a year.

I've noticed on Dunhams that they have a good supply of modern ammo, at a decent price, some on sale.
