I'm going plinking tomorrow or Saturday. I bought a box of .357s and .38s at 'normal' prices at a gun shop yesterday. I have a gift card to a local big box retailer that sells what they have at decent prices but they run out after a couple of hours. They get their shipments on Fridays. I may use the card to get one more box of .38s. I won't get in line with the Friday 'usuals' 1 1/2 hours before open but I won't goof off and wait until noon either. I'll see how it goes. Last time I went there (last month), I bought the last 3 boxes of .38s at about 1:00 pm. I only buy what I'm going to shoot. No hoarding for me. They had 3 Ruger 10/22 rifles there and the clerk asked if I wanted one of them. I said I did but not until they get some .22 lr ammo for it any day of the week. That's the first stuff to go on Fridays. They've been selling boxes of 50 for $3 per box (3 box limit) instead of bricks of 550 to allow more customers to buy - but it still sells out way too fast. Crazy.
