Had a conversation with several senior citizens the other day over coffee. They related that after morning coffee, they divide up which stores to hit for 22LR ammo of any kind. They rotate stores daily to avoid boredom. If ammo is located, they text each other, while waiting for the other to arrive, they hide the ammo if out of clerks site, and buy everything once the group arrives. Why? They advertise or take to gun shows for resale to supplement social security checks. None of these guys are shooters!

Got a Cheaper Than Dirt mag today. The have Bosnian Tulammo .22 lr 250 for $38. I don't need it that bad. I don't even open them anymore. They go straight into the recycling. I'd email them and tell them to remove me from their mailing list, but I figure at the usurious prices they charge I can add their rag to the paper I donate to the local fund raisers.

I made a Cabelas run Thursday and they had Blazer .22 ammo for $2.99 a box with a 2 box limit per person. My wife was with me so we got 4 boxes.

Why are people who are old enough to have seen shortages before ,due to politics considered hoarders in the first place?It's the the guys and gals under 50 who have been ill prepared and are doing the scalping right now . Every fokking scalper I've seen has been a 30 or 40 something. Magnum Man

Magnum Man Some of us accumulating ammo and Depends are old enough to remember the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the Depends shortage of 2014. And the vast majority of us have grand kids we have brought up right that will be more than happy to leave piles of empty brass at nearly empty ranges once we have passed.

I've been building my horde of .22 ammo over the last 25 years, slowly but surely, so that I can now hoard it.
I don't really shoot it, just empty the tens of thousands of rounds I have out on the bed and roll naked in them while laughing villainously at the thought of those who have none. If I still had a mustache I'd twirl it.
Bwaa-haaaa-haaaaa!!!!
BTW, I do have some loose rounds I may sell for ridiculous prices. They could have a few small curly hairs mixed in with them or an odd smell, but they should shoot okay...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
