I just bought a brick of SK Hollow Point Subsonic for nearly $100 shipped. That's a lot for 500 rounds but it shoots .25 or less in a couple of my rifles for 5 shot 50 yard groups.

I've noticed both Bass Pro and Cabelas stocking ammo in the middle of weekend afternoons, so employed people could actually buy it

couple of weeks back, I visited three different Bass Pro shops in the South Florida area. None had any .22 LR in stock This past week, I visited Dicks, Cabellas, and two LGS locations. None had any .22 LR in stock

An acquaintance just paid $90 a brick x3. At least he admitted he was getting screwed. He wanted it and didn't want to be patient or do any legwork. so he paid it.
And THAT, boys and girls, is the person fueling this craziness.

I have been seeing it at our local Cascade ranch and home store pretty often. Left it all there for others to buy as I have a couple of bricks and am OK with that until closer to the ground squirrels coming back out next spring. If it stays on the shelf, I migh snag one more brick but that would be all. I told the guy at the counter that I was leaving what he had for someone else who was truly low or out of it to buy and he said he wished others took that same approach. they still limit sales of gunpowder to 1LB a day per person, but they are only a couple of blocks away so that is no big deal for me, either.
Yes, I think the 22LR "crisis" is mostly over. And I too hope the scalpers have to eat the ammo or sell it off at a loss.

And THAT, boys and girls, is the person fueling this craziness. I would not have paid that for something like Thunderbolt, or yellowjackets, but good target ammo is a different story.

Went to the Lakeland gun show, (collector show), on Sat. Folks still trying to sell 22 for $50-60, or more, per 333 rd. brick.
Course they also think Glock's are worth $600.00 and any Smith is worth more.

Well, it's all going to come down to how long the scalpers can keep paying on their plastic.
I've got enough small centerfires that don't cost that much more than current prices in Scalpistan, and the PLOOP at the end is SO much more entertaining....

Dave, I think it all comes down to how long idiots will keep paying the scalpers prices. Until then, the scalpers will set the prices.
