Today's Gander Mountain flier at several brands of 22 ammo with a 5 box limit.  That's up from 2 not long ago.

May the hoarders be reduced to shooting their own ammo :D ;D

Now that the "season" is mostly over  ::) I've managed to get several bricks of the match ammo we use for the 22 bpcr matches. Mostly SK rifle match and the Norma Tac. Hope to find another brick or 2 of the Aquila rifle match that my old Stevens 44 rifle likes so well, and some just practice ammo would be nice. Did get ahold of 2 cans of the SK magazine ammo when Grafs had it a week ago, but have not shot any of it yet to see how well it does or doesn't work.

Dicks Sporting Goods here in Topeka, and probably other locations, have 22 long rifle for sale with a limit of 2 boxes a day. They are not cheap, but the hoarders dont like to make more than one trip to stock up. I am trying to buy up a brick so I will have enough to last me a while.

Was at Cabelas today and they had American eagle .22 ammo,  $2.49 for a box of 50, with a limit of 3 boxes per person, up from
2. Pam was with me so I got 300 rounds for $15, maybe things are starting to finally catch up.
