...those hoarding piglets who bought .22LR at the height of the shortage in hopes of reselling it to their fellow shooters at a tidy profit, let's just take a moment to comtemplate: In the last few months I have bought more rimfire than I'll be able to shoot in the next few years for under 5¢ per round. I just saw Federal Champion on sale online for 3.8¢ per round. As was predicted by cooler heads, the laws of supply and demand have worked their magic, and we are now approaching a glut. Here's a toast to all those fools at the gun shows trying to unload their piles of hoarded .22 at a fraction of what they paid, and having to pack it up and haul it back home at the end of the day. Ain't the free market grand? |

I actually knew a kid (young teenager) who swore he was going to fund his college education with his rather effeminate collection of Beanie Babies. Womp, womp, womp whaaaa...

I still have my ginormous plastic tub of .22lr I accumulated from before the Great Ammo Shortage.  |

I had enough that I wasn't even thinking about buying more. I still have about 10 years supply. I'm still laughing at those idiots. I even had one from my gun club who is now stuck with more .22 RF ammo than he and his family will ever use!

I miss the days of 500 rounds for $10 or less. I used to shoot 500-1000 rounds every weekend. | |
