Quoted:
Trustworth Hardware in Soldotna had some a couple weekends ago, bricks of Federal Champion. I would be happy to pick some up for you this weekend if you want to call them and pay over the phone or give me the cashola. How much were they? And umm, how can i get them up here? |
These days Fairbanks, and other towns increasingly often, run completely dry of rimfire ammo - a bad sign indeed considering it's the most ubiquitous cartridge, shot in more volume than most other calibers combined. I used to push AR rimfire conversion kits for years, but now I wish they weren't so popular cause it's helping make the ammo dry up. When I went into Sportsman's Warehouse here last week, they were real proud in pointing out that they had some rimfire on the shelf (Rem Golden's 550 packs, the one I shoot the most but apparently bad hoodoo for many other people with conversion kits for some reason). It was $20 a brick. Two years ago I bought the same for $12.95 (case prices, regularly $14.95 then). Even sitting on a big stash of it, I still bought a couple of bricks so I wouldn't have to dip into that stash on this vacation. Now I hear, just a week later, SW has increased the price to $22 a brick.  Gone are the days I used to wait until bricks were on sale for less than $9. I'm starting to shoot a lot less of them in full auto lest my stash be drained in a hasty manner. Gone back to my muzzle loader to slow myself down.BTW, SW had some 9mm on the shelf. I asked them if they had more in the back. They said they had 30,000 lbs of it. I immediately asked about case pricing. Then they said there were only joking - there was nothing in the back. Considering our current predicament, that's just not right...

| I remember the $9 brick days. Iv fallen into the habit of thinking "well i can get them for $13.99 at so and so's place" and then i don't buy and then i see them at so and so's place and they went up in price. When i started shooting would was like $3.00 a box then id see it for $4 and id think no way im paying that, then it went to $4.50, 5 ,6, 7. Then i wish i bought it for that other price. I need to just bite it and buy some when i see it. |
