Need a source for .22 short

I recently was given an old Remington bolt action singleshot chambered fro .22 short that needed some work (had been sitting in a garage for a couple of years). Surprisingly enough the gun was in much better shape than I expected so the cleanup has gone pretty quickly (I will be reaching the final stage of cleanup this weekend). As a result I find I need to get some .22 short and thought someone on the list would have a good suggestion for where to get some at a reasonable price (none of the local shops have any on the shelf, plenty of .22LR but no short).
So... Anyone want to tell me the best place to order .22 short?
Thanks,

www.22ammo.com may be a source for .22 short.

I've always found them at Wal-mart. They don't lay in a huge supply like they do LR's, but they have them every time I need them.

CCI makes some great .22 Short DB ammo. Quiet report, hits pretty hard relatively speaking and accurate... Can drop a cat or crow with a headshot.

A "second" here on www.22ammo.com and CCI loads. IIRC, same velocity as "CB Long" - around 720 fps. Fine crow medecine, but critters may expire some distance from initial doseage.

I have an old H&R Trapper rimfire that only handles 22 shorts and longs. I get CCIs from Natchez (http://www.natchezss.com/) .

CCI makes high-velocity shorts in round nose and hollow point, standard (target) shorts with round noses, and CBs. Winchester and Remington make HV roundnoses. Aguila makes roundnose shorts in HV and SV. Natchez has a good many of these choices. Cole Distributing has the Aguilas.
