They were all lined up at the doors waiting for opening, it was a stampede to the ammo isle, they were grabbing CCI mini mag boxes as fast as their pudgy hands could wrap around them. All I could imagine is they learned that behavior from eating at the Golden Corral on shrimp and crab legs night. Their body weight backs that up. For 7.99 a box, I passed them up. I am more then sure they will show up on Craigslist for Armslist before the day is out, because they do not look they get out much. Again their weight backs that up.

For 7.99 a box, I passed them up. Should have jumped. They'll be triple that next year.

Wish I knew, have not been rabbit hunting down there for some time now, when I lived down there with my grandparents, my GPa and I would go all the time, (Sadly grandparents have passed some time back) I wish I knew of a good place close to Denver, so I can take my boys.

I do but, with the shortages going on I shoot it sparingly. I let my older son just shoot the .243 instead for practice.

Those are guys are the cream of the crop the best shooting athletes the state of Colorado has produced. I'm sure they will be at the next tanner gun show in Denver selling them for $20 bucks a box.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I'm willing to trade one box of CCI Mini-mags for a Golden Corral shrimp and crab legs night gift certificate.

I'd hate to know I was such a pig as to have my job being the scalper of 22 bullets. What a bunch of losers. Gunner

Guy at the counter says it is the same group of people that show up on their shipment day also and buy what they can.

Gopher season is about to kick off here,so .22 ammo is getting a bit more scarce than usual. Still all the Remington stuff you want, and lots of individual boxes of Federal and Winchester, just fewer bulk packs.I picked up a 525 of Federals, a brick of American Eagle and a couple hundred Power Points yesterday, just to make sure I'm set for a bit. Might have about 4000 roundsof .22 currently, which honestly should last me a long time.
I don't "plink", as least not as I understand the term. If its summer then there are gophers out somewhere, so I go shoot them. I will do some free hand practice in the back yard, but that usually consists of maybe 20 slow, careful shots. I'm not very good, but hopefully I'll get better. I figure blazing away all willy nilly isn't going to help me much.

Our local Cabelas had a door buster special last Saturday where they sold 1000 round boxes of 22's for $45. I'm told there was a fist fight at the front door prior to opening. Story I'm told was someone was jumping the line and it got ugly.

Damn, battle of the cholesterol geezers at Cabelas. I liken these cornholers to the greedy fu_ks at the hardware/lumber stores that jack plywood up to 60 bucks a sheet with impending storms on the way. Gunner
