I think you might have a hard time looking for .40 cal. since it's the LEO's service round. You might want to try the bigger stores (WalMart or Dicks). The last 2 times I've been, I've seen their shelves stocked with ammo. And not just 12 gauge shells either. Prices have definitely gone up but atleast their shelves aren't bare anymore.

From today's news:
"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Winchester Ammunition was recently awarded a contract by the Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security to supply a maximum of 200 million, 40 cal. rounds over the next five years.
The load selected for this contract is a 135-grain, hollow point designed for the office of Field Operations of Customs and Border Protection. It will fall under the Winchester Ranger line."
This might tie up a lot of .40 production from Winchester.
I PM'ed you a link for ammo that might help.

Nations Gun Show in Chantilly this weekend at the Dulles Expo Center.
Great chance to pick up some ammo and new toys!
I have a company Christmas Party Saturday and a buddy is coming home for a 2 week vacation from Afghanistan so I might not be able to make it to the range this weekend.
