Interesting turn of events the last week.
Had to run to the local fleet store for unrelated household needs, when I see piles of people literally running to sporting goods - naturally curious, I went myself. lo and behold - a case of Remington golden bullets had arrived. Ironically, they were piling in from one end of the isle, and I headed from the other. beat the press as it were - score one box of 525 for me. Price? meh - $25, but less than the gougers.
Then, I had to run to Brainerd to give someone a ride, and we stopped at yet another fleet store to meet the other person. We had some time to kill so, why not walk around for a bit- They also had a stack of 22 on the shelf. and no one rushing towards it oddly, score 2 more 525 packs.
Then had to go to Dresser, WI yesterday for a wedding, and stopped at cabelas on the way home - becase why not - and they had shelves full of CCI 22. literally hundreds of boxes. $5/50 round box. okay - not exactly cheap, which is why it was on the shelves. so I bought another 300 rounds.
yeah, it wasn't cheap like yesteryear, but I went away from the weekend pretty satisfied. I have plenty of 22 now to get the step-grandchild started on shooting this fall in prep for the winter jr rifle program. She turned nine this year, the minimum age to be in the program - and she's been hounding me all summer to practice, lol
