Where would you be if every time you bought a new caliber you also bought a case or two of ammo for it?
Either divorced or sleeping in the basement.....
Last week I was able to buy 525 rounds of .22 LR from a sporting goods store nearby for $21.95 per box. Limit 2 boxes. You have to know when the truck comes in and wait in line. Yesterday there was actually .22 LR out on the shelf at the local farm supply store. It had been bare for months.
They had a couple of bricks of .223 as well on the shelf.
