around here in the foothills of NC, there is virtually no pistol ammo, and 22lr is unheard of. The only place I've seen it is on armslist and they are asking anywhere from 60 to 100 bucks for a 525 bulkpack. I have seen a few boxes of 9 and 40 hydrashoks, but thats about it. I did find 2 boxes of 40 blazers at a pawnshop for 20 each. But thats all they had.
I think the biggest reason for the 22 shortage is that people that aren't working during the day are stalking all the sporting goods stores and buying it all up when it comes in so they can sell it online for double or triple. What do you guys think?
