Barrels of fun - the mythical ammo shortage
On April 23rd of this year, I picked up a Remington 597 chambered in .22 Magnum. As explained
here, we already have a wonderful Marlin but it is chambered in an uncommon and pricey round. $2.50 per bang. The Remington is less than 20� per
bang loud pop.
I have a couple hundred rounds that I got from a store that was closing but I wanted to lay in a supply as people are saying that there is a shortage. No shit Sherlock...
I was online at
Cheaper Than Dirt this evening and here is their selection of .22 Mag ammo:
Every single SKU was
Out Of Stock and none of them had any option for back-ordering.
This too is a bubble and this too will pass but...
