Is it any better?

I've been going to OKC on a fairly regular basis. My route takes me by the Academy in Stillwater, then the one in Edmond. They have the bulk boxes when I get lucky. Lots of the ten cents a round stuff I leave on the counter and make a point of telling them why.

They probably chuckle when you walk away. I'm pretty sure they do me.

Yeah, they sell it to somebody. Can't believe somebody will pay triple price for anything.

Many of the people who buy at those prices never, or rarely ever, bought before. They're riding the wave. Their ammo will sit in a closet until they die.

I can now get .22 ammo anytime at the new "sporting goods" store here, but I'm not willing to pay their prices. They had some on the shelf the other day for 50 cents a round. I think the most I've paid is 8 cents each for .22.

I swore I'd never pay more than .04 at the start of this mess. Finally paid .05, then .06.
I'm getting the bulk now at .06, and my stash will get me through the rest of the year shooting matches. If we get the republican nominee, prices should drop shortly afterward.

Here is what I don't understand. Academy gets a pallet of rimfire ammo a week according to the guy I talked to. They have the bulk and the expensive on the shelf. Walmarts in the same town haven't had any on the shelf longer than a few minutes in years. What's up?
Thinking of emailing Walmart to ask why.
Wouldn't think they would want to lose sales.

Yeah, I don't understand the WM .22 ammo phenomenon at all.

Even .22 mag is impossible to find. I've got several sites that respond with emails when it comes in stock, and have only got one email from one company in years.
