Update today. Just returned from a local (Waco) gun show. There was more .22 ammo on the tables than I have seen in years. Just inside the entry was one seller with a couple of dozen guns but a table overflowing with .22 ammo. He had stacks behind the table 4 feet high of almost every flavor you could imagine. I saw about 25 of the Remington Bucket of Bullets, 1400 rounds, for $84, out the door. If you consider an 8% sales tax, that is just over $77 a bucket, just over .05/round. Other varieties at similar prices. And guess what - they were not flying off the table. Maybe we have reached the tipping point. Maybe the market is becoming saturated. I hope so.
