They were selling it for $85 a brick (500 rounds) or $10 for a box of 50. Those prices are a bit high. I have seen .22 ammo in a gun store in Yuma, Arizona, for $3.19 a box of 50 just a month ago.

Just early last week in Walmart (Rio Rancho, NM) they had a 1,000-round box of Winchester M*22 (I now have 500 of those rounds) for $52.00+ tax, and they had at least 20 250-round boxes of Remington .22lr hollowpoints, and at least 20 325-round boxes of Federal .22lr. And it was there past 10 AM.

I talked to the normal counter guy, and he said it was coming in much more regularly.

They have a 3-box limit on ammo. I bought the 1,000 rounds and then got a box of hollowpoints for a buddy. That 250-round box was $12.00 with tax. I sold the other half of the 1,000 rounds to another buddy. At cost. I'm out to rip anyone off.

They pawn shop in your story however, is.

Edit, then post... Ugh.

That is good news. $24 for 500 rounds is starting to get close to reasonable.

When it drops to $2 for 50 rounds, and there is plenty available, we will know the bubble has burst.
