I just hope everyone remembers this BS.
If and or when availability returns to "normal".
Follow the lead many here have demonstrated.
Buy it cheap and stack it deep!
It's not hoarding, it preparedness!

ok Decipher I will quit picking on you...wasn't really mad although it did strike a nerve since I am old compared to 33 ...I certainly don't want to cause a real problem on this great forum..I do agree with you about what some of the people are doing...we have an LGS that has a guy at WM every morning checking on ammo and I can tell you I would not buy ammo there if it were the last to be had as they are the most expensive around and their customer service sucks....good luck in your quest for ammo....

Ok I have to admit I drove through the Walmart parking lot on my way back from lunch today. I resisted going in, but I did break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. Maybe I should go talk to a professional.

I have belonged to a certain 12 step program for 32 years and I just use the same principles for resisting ammo purchases....

Walmart is the only place around me that consistently gets .22lr.
It's do the walmart shuffle or nothing for me.
I refuse to scour the net, worry about back orders and get ripped off with ridiculous prices and shipping. Why would I want to compete with hundreds of thousands of people online to see who gets the notice and pushes the button first when I can compete with a few people locally and spend a lot less $ to boot.

At least in my area for over a year .22 LR ammo has been vIrtually non-existent. However, using the links found in the post on available .22LR ammo at Cabelas has at least allowed me to buy some ammo at a delivered price of $ .06-.07 per round. This has allowed me to again return to shooting my 18-3 as well as my RIA 1911-A1 fitted w/ a .22LR conversion unit. On Tuesday I had the pleasure of an abbreviated 100 rd. Session at a local indoor range. Yesterday I had some time so I went to a local indoor range which is still finishing construction. They kindly allowed me to use a completed lane for practice, 500 rds. later I headed home. It felt like things were getting back to normal!

I am a retired old guy. I buy .22 ammo when I can find it. Have not resold any of it, but if I needed to I would feel no guilt. I can not understand how buying a scarce gun and selling it at a profit is alright or buying a house and selling at a profit is alright, but buying ammo and selling it at a profit is bad? Or is it a time thing? Maybe if I had bought it 20 years ago and then sold it, would that be alright? If I sold it but did not make a profit, would that be alright? How about if I just made a small profit? Maybe took it to a friends house and sold it to him for what I payed for it, and got a free dinner out of the deal? When I go to a gun show and see someone with what I consider a rip-off price for ammo, I do the same thing as I do when I see a gun I thing is over priced. I keep walking.
