22 ammo

I was just lookin at the shelves in my vault. Gotta put a little bracing under a couple of 'em. I happen to have about 8000 rounds of 22 ammo. A whole lot of it I got at yard sales and estate & farm auctions. Even have some 22 WRF and maybe a 1000 22 mags. Have been looking in the stores and the 100 packs of 22 LR are going for 6-8 bucks. Holy crapo!! And there really isn't a whole lot of them. Can't figure it out. Am the gummit trying to un-ammunitionize us or sumpin?? I was at Wally World while momma was grocery shoppin and I have more ammo than that store has....including shotshell stuff. Hopefully if the gummit isn't behind it the whole mess will fix itself. People are selling primers on Gunbroker for up to 80 bucks per M...plus shipping. Sheesh! I just bought a whole bunch and when I went to sell 'em for a normal profit I had one guy wanted to buy 'em all...and I had 100M. I let him buy 2M. He almost didn't get them as he acted all bent out of shape. I kept 2000 of each and sold the rest for an average of 32 bucks a 1000. Took a whole day to do it too. People are really going a bit nutz on this reloading stuff. Going to a gun show at the end of the month in Central Wy and there is a guy there that sells magazines for most everything. Maybe I'll get one there. If not I'll do Gun parts. Thanks for the link What I'd like to do is find one of the Nylon lever actions...and I don't know why
