We stopped in one of our favorite gun stores in Idaho Falls yesterday. They must have had at least 50, 5,000 round cases of some type of bulk Winchester 22LR ammo stacked down the middle of one of the aisles. It wasn’t something we were interested in, so even though one of the guys working there was talking it up, we didn’t pay much attention. I don’t even remember what they were asking for it.
Anyway, I hope the store sells all of that ammo, but I’m wondering - are people really using, or planning on using that much 22LR ammo? Could it be that some folks think 22LR ammo might be good for bartering in the not too distant future? Or could it just be another “buy yourself a basement full of Costco toilet paper” kind of thing?
We did buy a brick (500 rounds) of Federal 22LR ammo while we were there. But that’s because (as I’ve mentioned in other posts) lately my wife and I have been trying to put a dent in the ground squirrel population over at a friend’s ranch while waiting out the virus. Nevertheless, fall will get here and the ground squirrels will go back in the ground before my wife and I together will go through 1 brick, let alone 10 bricks of 22LR ammo.
