Still a shortage here but it is available if you want to stand in line. Gander Mountain get it's supply of 22 stuff on Wednesday mornings. When they open on Wednesdays at 9 there will be a line of about 30 people waiting for bullets. The manager gives everyone a number, tells you what the box limit per person is and lets you go one at a time to the 22 bullet isle. Sounds like a hassle but is actually fun as there are like minded folk in line and hunting and gun stories abound while you are waiting your turn. The shelves will be empty in an hour or so.
I have stood in the que twice, 4K limit on rounds the first time, about a 1000 rounds the last time, it all depends on what they get in. Early on they were letting people buy 10, 1300 round tubs which the buyers promptly flipped to Gun Broker. Now they limit the individual purchase to make the daily stock last longer and be available to more people.
Prices aren't out of line, I paid $12 a box for 50 rounds of 22WMR last time out. I picked up 5 boxes for my Ruger Single Six with plans on assaulting the local armadillo population with the gun. I have killed 24 with my 22 rifle and am going to switch to the pistol to make things more challenging.
