I picked up a box of 500 Thunderbolts at Sportsman's (25.99) over the weekend. They had a pile of them in the morning, buy afternoon they were gone. I'm seeing the same box sitting at pawn shops for $50, so hopefully the buying to resell is fading and we can get back to normal. I am planning another run to Sportsman's this morning to see if I can get another brick. Fingers crossed.

Went to WLmart on Saturday and asked about 22lr, clerk said you can buy one box, I said sold. Bought a 100 Winchester varmint rounds for $10... With tax. Was in Sportsman's while my daughter bought a pistol and watched a 525 pack go as well as 5 100 packs before I grabbed one that was left, another Winchester only this was small game for the same price as the first one purchased. If they would have been snakes I would have been bitten!

Was at Walmart this morning. They got in some bulk Winchester in packs of 333. Picked up 3 for $17 each.
Gentleman said I was lucky as they had recently gone through a month of zero .22, then for a week they had it almost daily with a large variety, and today was the first he's seen in three weeks. Doesn't seen like the "situation" is better or worse locally, but glad I got some.

Was in Dodge Center, MN today. Local hardware store had 22LR on their sign by the road. Stopped in to take a peek at what they had for how much.
They had a brick of 22LR in a green box (not Remington) called CI for the low, low price of $74.99!

Our local shop had a brick of CCI Greentag last week. First CCI I have seen in a couple of years! No other rimfire of any kind, of any caliber.

I met a French guy the other day. I asked him "Do you speak German?" He said "No." I said "You're welcome!"

Bob I didn't ask, because I have never had good accuracy results from it. Still got two bricks of Sk HV HP so we are not short of hunting ammo. Plinking is a forgotten past time, however.

I used to be able to randomly catch it in stores in my metro market, but I think people know the stocking and delivery schedules so well that working guys never happen upon it.
When I see it on the shelf at dealers at ridiculus high prices, I do ask the sales person about it and then decline saying their pricing is too high and I'll wait for the market to correct.
Maybe by 2017 I hope...
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Picked up 2 bricks of Federal Auto Match on Saturday at Wally World, I must have beat the old geezers that hoard the crap. I went to a not so local gunshop yesterday and he had all kinds of 22 lr ammo in stock. I need at least 10 more bricks to feel better. I paid 18 dollars for the automatch on Saturday per brick and I saw Winchester 22lr 552 pieces for 38 dollars at the not so local gunshop, he had one box and I wanted at least 5-10. Waiting for him to get some more in and I will buy 5-10 in one go.
