... for me anyway.
I debated whether or not to start another .22 thread, but I wanted to share what has become the common price to pay in my area.
Bass Pro, Cabelas and a few gun shops in the southern Indiana and northern Kentucky have had 22 ammo consistently and even with the limits still in place, you can find enough to shoot again.
That's good news.
I'd visited the "ammo in stock" thread here on the forum and bought rimfire ammo from Target Sports USA and Midway on two occasions.
It's the most expensive 22 ammo I've ever bought at $47 (including shipping) for a 325 box of Federal. The CCI's were about the same price but it was a brick of 500.
I don't want to start a " I ain't gonna' pay more than .3 cents a round " argument. If that's what it comes back at in your neck of the woods, good on ya'. I'd like to hear that it did, It would make me optimistic that prices may go down from where they are now in my area.
But anyway I'm glad it's back, with regularity and even with a limit. At under a dime a round if it settled there and is always in stock I'm glad it's found it's level at what I consider reasonable.
I even hit it lucky twice and found Federal 525 at Bass Pro at .5 cents a round. I picked up a 1000 rnd count of Winchester for $53 last month at the same store.
I know there are still scalpers and I hope bad karma bites them in the ***, but if daily shipments continue to show up and the limits go away in the near future, the light at the end of the tunnel can shine on an end to high prices and bare shelves.
Until the next time ...

, I won't go near one of those places.
My son goes there so when I need my bi-annual oil change I have him buy Rotella for me, but I disinfect the bottle before I touch it.
