Than How Come I get E-Mails from my Local Gun Store Advertising a box of 50 Remington 22 LR for "only" 6.99!
That is CRAZY Expensive.
Then I (reluctantly) stopped by our Super Walmart the other day and they had Nothing! Literally Nothing!
My local Walmart was depleted of all popular calibers (9, 40, 38, 357, 223, 308, and 22 of *any* flavor). The only shot shells in the store were 18 boxes of 3” and 3-1/2” turkey loads.
I asked the guy at the counter and he said that shipments are smaller and there is a group of guys that all show up whenever they are stocking and buy anything popular that hits the shelf.
The problem locally is hoarders and folks reselling, plain and simple. I’m guessing when the current anti-gun season blows over, ammo prices will return to normal and all the folks with panic-priced stockpiles are going to be doing some *expensive* shooting.
