It is getting better
Yesterday I was in a local gun shop and they had a good supply of .22 l.r. ammo and most of it was very expensive. Then I noticed Winchester Super X hollow point bulk packs of 233 rounds for $16.99 (about $.07 a round). They only had nine bulk packs and had just put them out. I asked if they were still enforcing their three box limit on .22 l.r. ammo. No limits were being enforced so I bought six of the bulk packs. That left three bulk packs for someone else. All the best...

Well I keep my eyes out for reasonably price 22 ammo but never find it. Was cleaning out the garage the other day... in an attempt to be able to achieve the American dream.... being able to park a car in it. Back in the corner were 3 empty(so I thought) 50 cal ammo cans. Pulled 'em out and low and behold they were ones I had bought at Cabela's before the ammo crunch. 2100 rounds in each... plus the can and the cost was 58 bucks each out the door. Under 15 bucks for each 525 bulk box of Federal 22 HP ammo. I bought a big bunch and sold 'em at gun shows for 18 bucks and the cans sold for 15 each... for a net profit of 27 dollars a can. Wish I had all 50 cans now!

Yeah..my happy ending is I have 6300 rounds of decent 22 ammo to play with. I also found 500 rounds of CCI 22 mag in the garage. I thought it had been stolen off the front porch...I have a loading bench out there to use in the summer. I must have put it in the garage..and with oldtimer's, I forgot?? I recently bought a nice S&W M-48 at an auction...first year gun too..and I had an extra 22 cylinder banging around a drawer..So I fit it to the gun...took a little work but just a bit of time. I also had a friend give my wife a Ruger BH 357 for her to carry in her truck or around the ranch. When I attempted to load it..it was a 9mm...LOL. Found a 357 cylinder fit it to the gun and now the gun is a convertible again. He couldn't find the cylinder..perfect for a vehicle or carrying on a 4 wheeler ..4 5/8 inch gun..Shoots good too
