Snowwolfe: There is NO 22 L.R. ammunition available in SW Montana - dittoes for the many shops and stores I have checked in the last month in Idaho and Washington states.
My friend needed some money last week and he took 12 bulk packs (525 rounds each) of Remington hollow-point ammo into our local pawn/sport shop put a price of $40.00 on each pack and it sold out in less than 8 hours of shop time (last 4 hours of one day and the first four hours of the next day!).
My friend admits to $24.00 profit on each pack and wishes he had asked for more money on each pack.
I have no trust in the Remington 525 bulk pack ammo anymore or I would have bought a carton or two from him for myself!
Other than that "short" appearance of the 22 Remington bulk packs I have seen NO 22 ammo in at least 20 stores I have been to, in three states, recently.
I think it is going to get a bit worse before it gets better!
And that is a shame.
Hold into the wind
