The freakin stuff is impossible to find.
I called Swain's today and they said, "We have 5 cases of CCI, but they are going fast." I asked if they would pull a couple boxes for as the drive would take about 45 min. The guy said, "We can't do that." Argh.
So I drive there immediately.......sure enough ........ all gone. Stop at three other places on the way back home.....all out. WTF?

Any ideas? I'm down to less than 2 boxes and that won't last long (understatement). Help?

How could anyone own a .22 without having a sh.it ton of rounds?

If folks buy 50 rounds here 50 rounds there they deserve to be out.

.22LR is generally cheap and available EVERYWHERE.....not having enough is beyond shortsighted.

Why would anyone need more than, say, 500 rounds in reserve? Give me one logical reason. If anyone thinks they are going to save themselves with a 22, they are deranged to begin with. I happen to be low because I recently installed a couple of scopes. Why would I think that stores that have always carried plenty of ammo, suddenly be short? Because the country is full of freaks who think hoarding ammo will somehow make their lives better? Seriously, dude, you need help.

Old habit of mine, every time go into a store that has .22LR, I would pick up a brick or a bulk pack box if I remembered to do so. I still have a few bricks of .22LR I got from the old Yard Birds/SeaMart in Olympia when it was $5/brick. I think I have about 6,000 rounds. The boys and I can easily shoot through a brick in an afternoon.

Some of us don't hoard, we just pick up ammo as we go along so that we don't have to deal with the histeria. Find a good buy, stock up, and have it when you need it. With the exception of .300 Win Mag, .380 and .30-30, I have at least 500 rounds or components for that much for every firearm I own.

I have never had ammunition, primers, or powder go bad on me.

Yeah...the Administration is buying shells...and piling them up in the West Wing. It's probably Obama himself making the run on ammo at the local Wal-Mart, too.

Also, perhaps this is too simplistic, but you don't become "poor shots" by practicing a lot...in fact, for most, it's exactly the other way around.

Fish on...

It is VERY odd that the DHS is buying more ammunition for "Practice" by agents who arguably dont even need to carry, let alone shoot that much in the line of duty...More ammunition than was used per year by all branches of the armed forces in the Iraq war, by 20 times over.

Is it a form of corporate welfare for the ammo manufacturers?
Are they arming up for some domestic foe the expect to fight?
What justifies the purchase of this much ammo by a domestic security force that checks bags at the airport?

Maybe the government anticipates this as a new alternative currency

Of course, that was before I lost everything in that boating accident.

Sadly I am only a thousand-aire and I don't expect the exchange rate to improve... Ever.

Federal Way, not out, only allowing 1 box of CCI Mini Mags per customer, or 2 50 count boxes of CCI Blazer per customer, and they dont have much..
