Sooner or later those who are buying it whenever and wherever they see it are going to realize that they might not really have a need for any more .22 ammo since they already have 50,000 rounds stored in the basement, "Just in case." When those guys finally figure that out, then the rest of us will be able to go buy a box when we decide we would like to take the grandson out for the day of fun plinking.
The problem is that we have all been so scared of not being able to purchase any for so long, when it does show up in arms reach, we become the next guy to stock up. I have a bunch in the safe, and almost hate taking a brick out and shooting it up, cause I do not see the end yet in mass hoarding. Pretty sad taking that $9 brick of 500 out, shooting it up and replacing it with a new brick for how much?

Simple supply and demand. Once the super hardcore guys buy enough, then the opportunist hoarders, then the casual stock up, and then it's back to normal.
I have zero doubt that we'll have ten dollar bricks again.

I bought a couple cases of 22 lr from Hooked on toys and they sent it to Port Orchard for just UPS fees. It was cheap and hassle free!

for SHTF, I sure would not want to be the guy with a stockpile of 22LR...and have to go up against someone with bigger-badder-faster-longer....
JMHO

Some of us have both.
Don't underestimate the value of having 22 ammo on hand to use for bartering when SHTF. ..

But there is a harsh reality here....one the basicly says there will be a TON of ammo and barely used black rifles on the street available for scooping up after about the third week of a SHTF scenario.

Sportsmanswarehouse. In E Wenatchee. $23/Brick. They do not ship though.
Interesting, I was talking to a employee at the FW store today and he said they have not had any in 10+ days, your store must be getting their share too.

Ten dollar bricks of 500 22lr will never happen again. Not with lead at over a dollar a pound and diesel fuel at almost $4 a gallon.Sooner or later those who are buying it whenever and wherever they see it are going to realize that they might not really have a need for any more .22 ammo since they already have 50,000 rounds stored in the basement, "Just in case."

Lead is at $1.02, pretty much where it's been for the past 5 years. It went to $1.20 in 2011, so it's actually cheaper now. I don't follow diesel prices, but I 'very seen it hovering around $4 for quite some time. I still believe it's all supply and demand. Higher gun sales, including a lot of .22's.
