Christmas and New Years in one a box

It as absent here for a while. recently one hardware store had a sale for 44$ a brick. The current price for the same brick is 54$ but it is in stock.

Is it just .22 or are all calibers hard to get in spots?

Pistol amo is a little hard to find. And some of the older amo like the British 303 rounds.

.303 I can understand, pistols I know nothing about as they're practically illegal up here. Hoarding is a funny thing. It's kind of a pack rat personality concentrating on one item. You'd think that after a guy got say 20,000 rounds he'd want to dispose of some.

.380 became popular in the past few years. When I got into guns they were said to be garbage, now, everyone and their dogs have one. .380 is hard to find, .223 and any other round shot out of a sporting rifle. Basically around here, anything that people think will get banned is bought up and horded. .22 and .22 mag has skyrocketed in price. As well as .17. .45 ACP, .40 SW, 9mm, basically any smaller pistol ammo. Hunting rounds are still available, always have been. Utah has a large number of Concealed Carry permit holders. My FIL doesn't even shoot a .22, ever. Or his .17. Makes gift giving easy in my family. Just a few boxes of ammo and they're good to go.

I haven't seen .22 on any shelf for months. When I found some the gunshop owner had drove to southern Oregon to buy it and was selling 50 rounds for 11 bucks. It used to be 550 for 11 bucks. So I bought a .22 pellet gun. 500 rounds of good ammo for 9 bucks. Shot a squirrel today and it left a bigger hole then a normal .22, neighbor didn't hear nor did the wife in the house, and the pellet stopped in a stick. I'm in NE Washington but have looked from here east to Idaho, south to northern Oregon and everywhere inbetween.

Could you push a .22 pellet into a .22 rifle and put a starting blank or ramset round in? A bit cumbersome and you have to practice a lot for a semi automatic should work, maybe?

Thank you all so much.
I only knew about my little berg and what
Erric Morris told me about Indiana a year ago.
Your post have put the subject some what into perspective.
What is left to discuss about why may take us into tabu territory.
Not to say there are not other locations to hear from.
Merry Christmas and Happy Early New Years.
