.22s today

[WinM71]

I do think the .22RF situation is showing a few signs of easing up. Stopped in at Riley's gun shop today (Hooksett, NH) and they had the metal cans of 325 rds. of Federal hi-vels for $15.95, limit one. That corresponds to a price of $24.54 per 500. I think over the coming year we'll see some growing availability and, hopefully, a decline in the gougers' ability to charge thieving prices.

I get depressed when I think of all the wonderfully available Federal Bulk Pacs I didn't buy at 10-12 bucks I have about 15, plus some loose around, and I've loaned a couple and gave one away. I would die before I gouged my friends.

I was one of those who picked up a brick whenever I was somewhere and thought about it.
Glady I was somewhere and thought about it enough times to be advantagous.

I think things will get better until .....Hilary Clinton announces her run for the Presidency and then the POOP will start all over again. I hope I am wrong but don't think so. Tom

Don't think it is going to get any better, what you are seeing now is the "new normal" , will get much worse as soon as Hillary is coronated at the DNC convention.

I don't know.
Benghazi is starting to bite her in that ample posterior.

Most other ammo is back and the prices are coming down. I would wager 22 will be back by the end of the year. Then we will be in a sweet spot for getting stuff until the 2016 elections. After that my crystal ball gets real fuzzy.

I went to Cabelas in KC today to pick up some fishing stuff, and wondered back to the gun area. This is what I seen, no 22 RF except 22Mag hardly any powder either. Used gun racks about half of what they used to be. People still taking numbers at the gun sales counter. I don't really see it getting better.

Fordwannabe & JNYork: BINGO!

Yup, it will start all over again.

Ammo situation here in Texas is better. Academy in Tyler Texas has 9mm, 223, available without restrictions. 9mm is $15 for a box of 50. 22's have loosened a bit. You can buy them but with a 2 box limit.

I know I'm being a downer but I don't see it changing. It's impossible to get .22's around here. I've got them myself as I do most all my other calibers but when you can't replace what you have you don't want to use them no matter how many you have. This just sucks the fun right out of shooting. The only thing there seems to be a steady supply of without being cost prohibiting is 7.62x39.
