Default .22lr prices

I hope this drought of ammo ends soon. I just looked on Armslist and a guy had Win. 555 bulk boxes for $85 each! I think the last one I bought was $30 and I didn't like it that much.

And to think I was buying it here at Wal-mart for 7-8 dollars a box before it went up. I should have bought a pickup load. If the Government can control the price of ammo, and Primers, they don't need to control guns. Urps me to think they are using my tax money against me, to buy it up.

Awfully high price. Happens that way when you can't find any. Looks like I'lll be doing more fishing than shooting if this keeps up.

I guess I should be a bandito too. I have 20 cartons of Federal 525s that I bought last Fall. At that rate, I could more than triple my money. Nah... I better keep them. I can't find primers - I have to have something to shoot.

I bought about that much, but my Grandson went through all but one box, and if I hadn't stopped him, he would have shot it up.

Welcome to the board Test. Glad to have you aboard with us. Grandsons are good at doing that. Mine goes through it like there is no tomorrow.

Grandsons are like Grandpa's, you have to watch them. Especially when they start testing stuff.

Welcome Test. I hope you join in and visit often. Introduce at the new members section.
Personally, I don't have any grandchildren, I have no one to blame for using up all my ammo but myself.

Interesting wrinkle to this story. One of these gougers has a new add up, saying that he's down to 2 boxes. I checked his other listings and he has the same ad, with the same pics, listed in Kansas City, KS., and here locally, which is at least a 4 hr drive from KC. Maybe there's a whole underground network in .22lr ammo trafficking?! Good grief this is a pain.

Welcome Test.
The User "test" was supposed to keep his mouth shut. Its a user I made so I can log in, and see the board as the rest of the users see it, instead of the Janitor. I forgot to log out when I commented. Had an Old Fart Senior moment.
