Back when the ammo shortage hit I had somewhere around 35,000 rounds of 22lr ammo. As time went by that number started going down for a few reasons.
I didn’t do like some others did and try to rape people just to make a profit. But I did sale foo a good bit.
I have a good many friends that ran out of ammo and weren't able to take there kids or grand kids shooting. Most of them know that I have always kept a lot of 22 ammo on hand because, I have over 60 firearms chambered in 22lr. So just about every moth a friend was hitting me up for ammo.
I remember one of my friends worked at a LGS and couldn't get any ammo. He asked if I had any Federal 550 bulk packs left and I told him yes. He offered me $75 for one box. I asked him if he had lost his mind, but he said that that was the going rate at the time. I sold him two bulk packs for $60.
I also have family members that hit me up for ammo. It's hard to tell your nephews that there Uncle Lee couldn't afford to give them some ammo. But I did tell them not to waste it.
When ever I found good deals on ammo, most often at Walmart, I would buy more, but my ammo count took a pretty good hit during the shortage and I got down to just a few thousand rounds.
Now that 22lr ammo is in stock just about everywhere I have been keeping my I open for deals. Yesterday I scored 5000 rounds of Aguila Super Extra 40gr HV plated round nose for .03 cents a round shipped to the house. That's $50 less then what I could have gotten it last week.
As soon as it arrives a 500 round brick will be going to Gunner. If you don't remember Gunner. He's my Ex Wife's little boy that I gave a 22 rifle to.

He told me last week that he didn't have any more ammo for his rifle.
I'll most likely be buy more 22 ammo over the next few months.
