I always figured the 22 LR would be my go to ammo for that.During the Obama administration - for a variety of reasons - but mainly due to blind panic buying - most ammo became scarce and expensive.
I sold off boxes of Federal 22 LR (550 count) that I had paid $9 for, for $40.
Guys at gun shows were gouging and charging $100 a box - AND GETTING IT!

Prices are back to normal - adjusted for inflation. I am buying again - at $12 a box.
Thanks. I just did some research on the internet about it. Consumer demand has been crazy. I had no idea. I knew that gun sales have been up quite a bit, so I guess the ammo shortages are not a big surprise.
