Igot in a shipment of 22's the other day and put a limit of one CARTON to a customer. I have had every customer so far complain because they cant buy more. I have had a lady in who is 70 years old and has shot 10 rounds in the last 5 years and she wanted TWO cartons. I had a fellow come in and bitch rabidly because he couldn't have more ammo and then he sent in his son, his wife and two friends who finally ratted him out. And the kicker is according to one of the friends he is sitting on 30,000 rounds of 22's .
GREED pure and simple.

CCI mini Mags, Eley Match CCI Green Tag and a ton of Wildcats and Yellow Jackets. We are selling them at a reasonable price and right now we are holding it to 100 rounds to a customer. In store sales only.

In fact I like them so well that I re-sighted in most of my rifles for them. Now, at least around here, you can't get the damn things at all. Of course you can't get most other .22's either. A couple of weeks ago I stopped by Bass Pro Shop and they had Federal American Eagles. People were buying them up like crazy. I wish now that I had bought a carton of them. Since Bass Pro didn't put a limit on them the two guys that came after me cleaned off the shelf. Greed again? Most all the places around here put a limit of 5 of anything on a single purchase.

A friend of mine bought the heavy barrel target version of Ruger's 10/22 several years ago. We got a good scope mounted on it, and then went to test every 22 lr variety we could find - before the current hoarding binge made 22 lr's scarce. I think we tested about 15 different flavors. Of all the high velocity hp's we tested, American Eagle's shot the best. They shot almost as well as some of the match ammo.

It all depends on the individual gun and the barrel. My Norinco target 22 shoots best with W/W Wildcat ammo.

I had a guy at the last 1500 gun and knife show selling 25 rounds of rem golden bullets for 5 dollars a plastic bag. An old ammo guy pulled his 22 ammo off the table because he did not want to see guys buying 1950's ammo to shoot up in AR's dad got two old boxes from him when he showed it to him that he did not have. Bricks of golden bullets 65 dollars each.
I need federal lighting 510's for the sillywet target pistol. Down to 500 rounds or ten range trips.
I got CCI mini mags again last week at "MEGA LOW MART" on a tip from a friend. I got two boxes at night and 2 the next morning. Limit 2 boxes per day. I also score on 555 pack of winchester which turned out to only contain 524 rounds of ammo. I know because i put them into old cci boxes and came up rounds short.
Should be good to go for tree rats this fall. Just not going to the range as much as I need to.

I would trade you, but you can't find the Mini Mags around here either. My son and I went to the largest gun shop in the area Sunday. He wanted to buy a Ruger SR9C which were on sale. While we were there I checked on .22's. They had two boxes of Federal Target ammo for $7.00 a box. I am just not going to pay those kind of prices. I'll just refrain from plinking and save what .22's I have left for hunting until they (hopefully) will become readily available again at reasonable prices.

I got lucky and got a call again about winchester 555 bulk at MEGALOWMART. I got another one. This weekend I will count them and see if I have 555 or 534. they owe me a few rounds.
I think they must bulk weight and pack. I noticed that several of the hollow points are shallower that others.

Well we have went from shortage to sheer greed. I got a flyer the other day and a distributor is selling 22's for $55 a carton dealer cost with no limit on purchase... but Cabela's is selling the same stuff on Tuesday mornings for $29.00 a carton and 1400 round buckets for $70. I hope the greedy folks who are ripping off the public get stuck with a ton of ammo they can't sell.

That's what they wanted DEALER price and I wouldn't bite. I bought 1400 round buckets for 1/2 that and hae 22's in stock, but NO SHORTS. Well I've got shorts but I am wearing them not shooting them. Well I just fired a shot in this pair, I can smell the gunsmoke.
