“There’s no .22 except bird shot loads”

I ordered three boxes of Remington 22LR hollow points from Cabellas in January. Got an email last week they have sent it. That was so long ago, I don't remember if it's boxes of 50 or 100. Three boxes was the limit to buy. At that time, Cabellas wouldn't even do a backorder for CCI 22LR hollow points, so I ordered the Remington.

After that, during this dearth of 22 ammo, I started searching every ammo seller every day. One day, CheaperThanDirt had CCI 22LR hollow points and three boxes was the limit. I grabbed my credit card as fast as I could, to get those three boxes of 50 each. By the end of that day, they were out of those boxes.

The thing is, I ordered the cartridges before I ever found a Ruger 22LR. Now, I have one. I also ordered the Ruger made 25 cartridge magazine for it in January, and that came last week. I finally have all the parts together - the Ruger rifle, the Ruger magazine and 150 CCI hollow points and three Remington boxes to add to that when they get here.

I have a half box (+/- 25 rds) of .25 acp and no gun in that caliber anymore. I’d love to find a way to trade it round-for-round for any other caliber.
