.22 long rifle ammunition

Jim,
Thanks for the thought but you are very close to right. I should be leaving by the end of the week.

It's unfortunate what is happening with ammo. Being out of work, I have no excess money for buying up ammo.

My last range trip required a late night of visiting all of the Wal-Marts on one end of town until I found one where the stocker was JUST pulling out the boxes to stock the ammo. At the the 4th store I visited, there was ONE case of WWB bulk packs to pull from, and my tight budget meant I could only afford one box. I have no doubt that all of that 9mm (and the partial case of .40 that I saw) was gone before mid-morning. .22LR was nowhere to be had except in tiny packs of stingers and the like.

Unfortunately, that last range trip was way back in May, and it was a new shooter trip. While I did do a little moving and shooting with my carry gun (at my new shooter's behest), I've not had a proper range session for myself since late March, as practice ammo had become so difficult to come by and I cannot justify to myself to buy the overpriced leftovers (fiocchi, etc.) after everything else has been picked cliean.

I'm glad to hear that things are getting a little less scarce. I'm in acute need of some ammo (.22LR and otherwise) for my next range session, and it's good to hear that it no longer requires an extended search around town in the wee hours of the morning to find. Good to hear that it's Federal .22LR that's become available. I still refuse to buy Remington GB due to its terrible rate of failure.

Good luck and God Bless in both your search for work and bullets.

FWIW, when I do find brick .22's at Wal-Mart, it has been Win Hi-Vel HP's in the $13 range.

Thanks for the kind words. I actually did just get a job, so once paychecks start coming in, I'll be resuming my search for ammo. $13/brick sounds like a good price.
