Well I got a nice surprise this evening, I was able to actually buy 1000 rounds of .22 LR ammo, this is the first time in the last 4 years I have actually seen any on the shelf. Here in Kalispell, we have exactly 3 sportings good stores and I was surprised , I was able to find them at one of the local stores, I hated paying as much as I did, it worked out to 9 cents a round, so yes, perhaps the damn has been broken, at least here in the Flathead, finally., but ye ha, .22 back in the ammo safe.
Some of the stuff I had in inventory was getting old and was not reliable any longer, so I am glad to pick up another thousand rounds.
I pulled all the .22 rounds out of the safe this evening and the last brick I purchased, had a price of $6.99 on if from a store by the name of GI Joe's, Just goes to show how long it has actually been since I bought .22 rounds!
