Butch,
VarmintGuy prefers to drive around southwestern Montana every month or so, and when he doesn't find the "normal" amount of rimfire ammo on store shelves he whines about the conspiracy. Though he has admitted to finding both .22 Long Rifle and .17 M2 recently.
Apparently he cannot even begin to comprehend how demand beyond normal levels changes the market. He and DINK and others refuse to consider ordering ammo, instead of spending a bunch of money on gasoline in the blind hope of finding any on store shelves.
As a result he refuses to believe the testimony of many people about how rimfire manufacturers are running constantly. Instead he just keeps driving round and round and round.
