As of two days ago, the shelves at the local Gander Mtn in northern MN had only one small box of .22 shorts. No .22 LR anywhere in that big box store. Any ease of shortage has definitely not made its way up here.

You can find just about any caliber right now although 9mm and .40 are tight and .22 is still nowhere to be found.

I got a Cheaper Than Dirt catalog the other day. I guess dirt has really gone up in price.

I have personally vowed to never use Cheaper Than Dirt again as they were one of the first to start the price gouging. Many shooters call that place Higher Than Hell.

I know it sounds weird, but there are a lot of Facebook "groups" that I have found that you can find ammunition. What people have done is create closed groups (you have to request to join) for ammo and gun buying/trading locally. You might try a search from your facebook page for the keywords of "gun", "ammo", and/or "ammunition".

Boycott Dicks as well. They are living up to their name by not selling certain kinds of rifles. If they havent the courage to defend their product and the free use thereof, they do not need my money.

Got back from the range about four hours ago. Had fun with the 1936 Winchester 63 at 100 yds. and the Thunderbolt ammo that I bought over 30 years ago for $8.00 per 500 round brick. Ahhh...the good old days.

My dad remembers going to the hatdware store as a 12 year old and paying 49 cents for a box of 100.

Ah yes, the good old daze,even mom and pop grocery stores sold .22s in my town (the .32s were 2 bux)
Used the strap My .22 (win.62A) and my beat up single shot win.shotgun to the handle bars of my bike and ride down mainstreet at 6AM out to the bay and shoot ducks.Used the .22 for muskrats,the city paid 30 cents ea. for them as they were eroding the levees.

I remember when the conservation Dept paid 20$ for coyote ears, good money back in the mid seventies.
