It's supply and demand, not a conspiracy... put away thy tinfoil hat.

I'd rather just see the "normal" price of a brick move to $30-$40 for a while which will help kill off the secondary market (which only exists because people are willing to pay more to avoid running all over town to find ammo...)... I don't think any of us wants to see a decrease in the quality of ammo hitting the market so we can either stick to the current model of the old price and spotty availability, or move the needle on price a bit and improve availability by paying a bit more until the supply normalizes.

People pissing and moaning about "gouging" is just as annoying, seriously, if they price it low the supply will blow out and they have nothing to offer the next customer - if they price it high people complain they are gouging... it's no-win. Supply of .22 is way better than it was months ago, just takes some legwork to find it so plan ahead if you shoot a lot, plan to look longer if you are looking to score a pre-panic prices ($20 or less a brick).

A tinfoil hat is a necessity living in Minnesota. Did you get one for that little rugrat yet?

My daughter works for a summer camp that converted their old pellet range to .22's last year and were planning to train and offer shooting as an activity to their 1000's of guests. However, the lack of ammunition left their range shut down this past summer. Hope the outlook for ammo is better next year.

It will be a great way to expose many young people to safe and fun shooting.

Most every Walmart in the metro (at least the north end) gets ammo and yes .22 caliber 1-2 x's a week. Seems to hit the shelf in the late after noon (Elk River) to early evening (BC). Others put it out after mid night (BP) and some wait till the day shift comes on (Riverdale), the Ms Manager there was upset all the ammo was being sold out thru the night and she had none to sell when she came on. Fridley starts to stock around ten PM but they close at midnight. I'm not aware of the new Andover or Blaine stores stocking habits. Princeton stocks mid to late day. Cambridge could be any time and Maple Grove is late day to even morning from what I've seen. Cabelas & GM are getting good supply's in too. Cabelas is sticking with one box limits and GM seems to be more liberal lately. FF has been hit and mostly miss. Seems to not last long on the shelves as it has been for months and months now. Good luck.

Just be patient, it will be back. In the mean time just shoot something else.
