Nice score Al.
That's a good price, and especially these days.

I was in a hardware store in Rib Lake, WI and they had ammo. They had rimfire, 223 and 9MM. Not a big selection yet they had a lot of it.

Getting more all time on the shelves here, both in variety and quantity. Looks pretty good at the moment, so I've been stocking up. I'd suggest y'all do likewise if you aren't already.

Yeah, that can be a problem for some folks. I usually will plan my trips to combine grocery, gun stuff, etc. to minimize the gas hit. There are 5 gun shops on my normal grocery route. So about a gallon of gas for the entire round trip of a little over 30miles about once week/10days.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

The cost of living here in Wisconsin is about a quarter that of Seattle. The difference is mainly in housing. Groceries are less, fuel is far less and health care is slightly more.

Even though a gallon of gas is less my fuel bill is higher because I had a latte stand 2 miles from home and now the closest is 13 miles.

Getting back to ammo I’m finding it more and more and it’s about the same price.

I cleared out most of the shop stock at a shoot over the weekend, 17M2 17HMR & 22WMR all went, a lot of the centrefire stuff sold as well only a few boxes of most centrefire ammo left apart from a case of 300win. 200rds might be enough reason to buy a rifle :lol:
Would still be well over 5k of 22lr but not really concerned about it not selling I will use it myself eventually. A bit of shotgun left as well maybe 1.5k but again not worried as there are 410 20 &12ga in the safe so can make use of it.
Harder to find stuff like 2" 410 all sold along with all primers and powder and a fair percentage of projectiles. Wouldnt say we have a projectile shortage in Aus but if you have a load with a specific projectile they can be hard to find so people are stocking up when they see them.

Previously I've posted my legs had 357 magnum for about $34 a box. Well inflation has caught with more of their ammo, they don't gouge. No 357 magnum ammo for three weeks, had 38 special for $38.99. I saw price and didn't even ask if more than 1 was available.

I’m seeing lots and lots of ammo available especially in the popular semi-auto pistol and rifle cartridges. I only but CCI mini-mags and .410 shot shells and of course I rarely see any of either. I have enough on hand that I’m not concerned but do keep my eye open when I’m in a store that sells ammo.

A favorite shop located in Coeur d’alene Idaho which is about 50 miles from my home is having their big grand opening for a new location this weekend. Normally I would have driven over and enjoyed shopping but with gas at $5.50 per gallon and my best mpg rig is 20 I decided to stay home. Sad. :(
