I stopped at Gander Mountain to pick up a hunting license. They were not open for another 10 min but a crowd was already out front; old fat retired guys and fat firefighters. As soon as the doors opened they huffed and trundled to the gun counter where they made a run on the rimfire ammo. I nearly went into a black out rage. This is why I have to shoot 9mm,45ACP, and centerfire rifle for all my practice. That is not all bad since it is what I hunt and compete with but some time with a rimfire is good too but I can't get rimfire ammo bc of these dudes.

On a side note.. I was watching "doomsday Preppers" on netflix last night for the first time and realized the 22 ammo issue will linger on a long time. Eventually the gun show scalpers and people will calm down and price & retail availability will return, but the preppers will drive hoarding for a long time still.
I heard thursday is socking day at GM so they get a crowd.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Yeah, I found out Thursday is stocking day there too while I told the dude at the counter how angry this made me. Meanwhile the hoarders stood by, mouth agape, while I bitched about how unacceptable this is. All the while they were frantically pointing and asking for ammo while they looked at me from the corner of their eyes.

same story around here one looks like cotton hill one looks like skeletor most of em wearing tacticool multi pocket pants
all hanging out at academy tue,thurs and sunday waiting like herion addicts at the methadone clinic..........
i go in and look for certain types of ammo cci small game bullet,cci select lead round nose or aguliar rifle match if they aint got it they will some other time
but the faces of these guys when bulk packs aint their is like a little kid who finds out their aint no santa claus
they are after the bulk packs only to resell at crazy prices and fools buy from them
im only after good accurate and reliable ammo to shoot
aint worried about zombies or race wars or a comet or whatever else the preppers think might happen
it is what it is

You can render the hoarders irrelevant by casting and reloading. Is cheaper than a fair bit of .22rf ammo these days. Also beats bitchin' by a mile or so.

I've found that Cabelas and Bass Pro have started putting out ammo on weekend afternoons - so people with jobs can actually buy some

Sorry, Dan, but that's a pretty narrow point of view. If you just want to shoot, of course there are alternatives. For shooters like me, whose interests run to smallbore competition of various kinds, and have a considerable investment in .22 rimfire firearms, you need .22 ammo and probably some specific kinds. I made the Monday morning lineup at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday, and missed by one place in line the CCI Mini-Mag one of my guns prefers. Oh well, we all do what we have to do. Paul
