    Local Murdochs had about 20 pallets of .22lr not too long ago. Sure 'nuff- out of .22.
    So I picked up some .45LC +p instead. But dang, that went quick.

    Just wish it's little 40gr. hobbit brother was still available.
    Didn't think they'd go through 20 pallets in 3 months, but they did.
    Once word got out, I bet they saw a lot of familiar faces on a daily basis.

    I’ve heard rumors of Field and Stream getting pallets of .22lr on a regular basis. I happened upon 2 fresh pallets of it last March checking out the store during my lunch break and bought the limit, which was two 500 packs. I called a buddy to let him know, and by 4 that day when he got off work they were all gone. Word gets out, and they go fast! And I hate to complain since I was lucky enough to find some, but it was Remington Golden bullets. That’s the only round that jams in a couple of my guns!!

    I've not seen .22LR in my local stores for years. Maybe someday it will return to the shelves.

    .22LR are like gold around my area as well. If the local store gets a shipment in, they are gone the next day. They only allow 4boxes per person, but the nice lady behind the counter said all I had to do was to put them in my car and come back for more. Last October when they had them in stock, I made the return trip back into the store 6 times for a total of 24-50round boxes at $1.99 a box. My kid's have already gone though almost 15 boxes, they love shooting targets with that gun.
