"A regular trickle" is a good way to put it.

I recently checked the local Sportsman's Warehouse west of Boise at opening time on four different Saturday mornings when they put out the rimfire ammo and once saw a half dozen 325 packs of Federal AutoMatch plus a smattering of 100 packs of CCI stuff. One day they had a dozen bulk packs of Remington Thunderbolt but that's it. The other two days they didn't have any new .22 LR ammo. However, the prices on ammo they had were very reasonable, maybe a couple bucks higher than they were 2-3 years ago but nothing inflation wouldn't account for anyway.

In contrast, I went to a gunshow two weeks ago and several dealers were still trying to get $75 for 500 round bricks of the cheaper blasting ammo. The "deals" to be had were in the $50-$60 range, this for the smaller quantity bulk packed stuff. No thanks.


Powder, bullets and primers (except Federal) have been coming back in decent amounts. Not pre-shortage quantities and not all brands and types but at least enough to keep me going.

Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
