Ammo!
I hate to say this but I am doing a dance of joy! Found three 50 rnd boxes of 22s at a wal-mart after searching for 22s for the last four months! Bought all three, which was the limit they would sell one person..... If there had been four I probably would have been arrested for the fit I would have thrown over being limited to three....
Anyway keep up the search. Richard

We were talking at my local sportshop the other day. He is not gouging on ammo prices at all. He said that the whosale price has not gone up enough to count.
These high prices are not caused by cost increases but by greed just like every thing else these days. That and the stupidity of the people that will pay the price. He gets at least 30 calls a day looking for 22 ammo.

I actually found a bunch of CCI 22's last weekend. Bought 100 rounds although I have enought to keep me going for a while. Clerk at the store told me its starting to lighten up a little. The had 9, 40 and a lot of 45. Limited to 2 boxes. They are seeing shipments of AR's coming in.
I don't know why 22's have dried up.

Dan,
At the Mansfield, PA Walmart, they have some shotgun shells, turkey load 10-round packs and NO .22 shells. About once a week they get in a case of Tula 7.62X39MM Ball ammo. I get my alloted 3 boxes and the rest goes by next day. Adam

.45 acp
A couple of weeks ago a coworker asked me if I had a couple of boxes of .45 ACP I could sell him. After checking my stock I informed him I didn't have any extra and told him about 10 different places I would normally look for ammo.
He told me he had already checked all of those and about a dozen more and still couldn't find a box of .45 ACP. He found out I had 2-boxes in my ruck sack and offered me $100 for the pair. I told him no because of trying to keep a hole from developing in my supply. I told him what they were and he said that he wouldn't pay $50 a box for what I had anyway. A few days later he told me he had found two boxes at a little store somewhere on the other side of Houston from where we work and that he had bought one of them because that's all they would sell him. I asked him what brand they were and what he paid for them. I don't remember the brand because I don't think I had ever heard of it before and he paid $48 per box before taxes, that somewhere above $50 after taxes. I guess my two little boxes don't seam so bad to him now, but he was not getting them anyway. Bulletpusher

22 ammo is missing because it finally dawned on the populace that a little 22 rifle and 1K rounds of ammo was a lot easier to carry than an AK or an AR plus 1k rounds for it. The 22 LR with standard velocity ammo is the real survival rifle.

And don't forget..most people think the gummit doesn't care if they have a 22. BTW many of the people buying the 22s at such high prices are..seriously..indulgent grandfathers..buying for their grandkids

Yep, I wouldn't have paid much more than I did for them $2+ per 50, that's for sure. I am still a cheap (and broke) bugger.

congrats! I am still checking every time we pass through a wally world. Could have picked up all the .410 I could have ever wanted today, but it ain't a caliber I have. Other than that they still have their vastly overpriced 308s and 270s.

One of my hunting partners had to have a 6.5-284. Had to have that long shooter. He doesn't handload. Saw some factory loads at a gun store a couple of weeks ago for $55 a box. That was a I told you so moment.
