In s.w. Virginia you cannot find .22 ammo at Walmart. Had to go to the local gun and pawn shop and paid out $49 for 500 rounds. OUCH! We used to love and shoot our .22 rifles for fun/target practice every weekend. Now we are simply trying to hoard some up.
I’m also in SW VA. You practically have to personally know someone that works in the Sporting Goods department to score any .22 ammo from a Walmart.
Luckily, I do! hehe (still limited to 2 or 3 boxes purchase per day though)
