Airguns are a work around when there is no 22 to be found, like the Obama Shortage and now the 'Rona/Wuhan Flu Shortage. But, some of us 
have been buying 22 ammo for years and I have more than the CCI factory does in stock, I should probably not say how much!
Gosh, 20 years ago at Attwoods they were running Winchester Wildcat on sale for like $2.99 per box of 50. Not super good price but okay. I grabbed a couple of bricks on a lazy afternoon while my wife got some other stuff we had come for. At check out the girl rang the bricks up for $2.99! I, being honest, immediately told her that there were ten boxes per brick! She retorted the price was $2.99. I again told her to check the price and since a line was forming the manager on duty comes over in a huff while the checkout clerk annoyed at me tapped her feet to show her displeasure. The manager said, "do you want them or not" and not wanting to argue any more, I looked at her in disbelief and again the manager now also in a huff told me to make my mind up! So I bought them and while we were on the way to the truck I started steaming (slow temper) and told my wife I will be right back. I went back in, got a couple of shopping carts and loaded every brick they had and it was a huge pile. I again went to the checkout, the only clerk there and as if she had no memory again checked them all out at $2.99 per brick! Come Monday I called Attwoods home office and told them and asked them what they wanted me to do and they said basically to enjoy the ammo. So, it formed the basis of my current collection/inventory though I already had a bunch even at that time.
I want a PCP badly, one that makes around 50 FPE or more in a .25 caliber, basically double my Steroid .22 392.
edit to add, I think I got my two brain cells backwards, it was more accurately .99 cents I think now.

Reason I’m always wearing
You should search my name a bit before making that claim. Maybe I’m wrong though.... Perhaps you meant the “I was a fudd TOO”, as a likening to those out there. But you did point to my feeling this way as being one. So I’m not sure. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
