Around $50/box is down from the $65/box I had been seeing for about a year.

The shop I cited had no limits on purchases, and people weren't snatching it off the shelf.

I think we're slowly moving toward sanity again.

Today Thunder Range on FM1314 in Conroe had CCI standard velocity 40 grain solid point .22LR for $47/500, and Remington Viper flat point hyper velocity .22LR for $52/500.

I see .22 LR at gun shows in the Houston area all the time for around $65/500.

I stopped by a local range yesterday and asked if they had any .22 ammo in stock. I didn't really need it, but I pick some up from time to time just to keep my supply topped off.

They said the only stuff they had in that caliber was in the consignment case.

Consignment??!!

This I had to see, so I checked it out.

Sure enough, there was a plastic freezer bag with 550 rounds of ordinary .22LR ammo of mixed brands and bullet types priced at $87.95.

A few months ago you could have found that amount of ammo and a used gun for that price.

I remarked to the owner that the folks who hadn't seen the current situation coming were going to be paying through the nose to make up for their lack of vision.

He chuckled and agreed. He said while I had been shooting on the range for 90 minutes or so, he'd sold 4 batches of that stuff.

Note that the coupon pictured expired on 10/18.
