Good morning everybody, nothing new happening here. Still looking for .22's, no good at Dicks Sporting goods or wallyworld. But I've snagged some more 9mm, and haven't fired the EAA yet.
Also broke down and turned the A/C on yesterday, it's starting to get uncomfortable to sleep in those upper 80's day's, and now the 90's are here.

Y'all have a safe day.

Clint, my problem hasn't been finding them. Its been finding them at decent prices. They were plentiful at the gun show last week. But no forking way I'm dropping 50$ for a box of 500 plinker rounds. 25$-30$ is about the norm around here for 500 lead nose target rounds. I've also found them online. Just have to watch the shipping charges.

$25ish is a fair price for a box of say Remington Golds... but $50 is stupid\

Every time I go into Walmart I go by the ammo and ask if they have any just for *****s and giggles. They always say no with a smile and chuckle. Last month I did the same and never slowed down until I was 1/2 an isle past the ammo and the kid yells out sure do.
Scored a 100 round box of Winchester super speed hollow point copper plated for $7.00.

I do the same and normally just to keep a idea of what they got. Try to make a habit of buying a box of something a month...

Gotta fill up a 50 gun, gun safe somehow.

I've been doing the same thing. If I'm in a place that sell's ammo I have to at least check on .22's. And for the last couple of weeks, it's always the same answer, no.

Nothing lined up for today, well other than try get an idea of what to do for Mother's day for my wife.
