Definitely getting more ammo on the LGS shelf, but prices are steep. As a reloader, I am more concerned with components such as powder, bullets, cases, and primers.
Lots more bullets lately, and we had a bunch of powder show up for almost an entire week last month, but no primers for a couple of months.
I thought it would be fun to take my late grandfather's Remington Model 241 rifle in .22 Short grouse hunting later this month. I have about 4 boxes of ancient .22 Short ammo and I did some research and it seems the best stuff is the CCI 29 grain HP .22 Short high velocity. Runs about 1,100 fps compared to the standard 720 fps.
Haven't seen any .22 ammo locally for almost a year. Went online thinking finding .22 Short would be a breeze. I used AmmoSeek.com to find the CCI ammo I needed and it was $18 for a pack of 100. I figured two packs would last me a while and was shocked at the final price of $49 at check out for 200 rounds of .22 Short ammo. Couldn't do it. Seems ammo is getting more plentiful and cheaper by the day, so I'll wait another week or so and see if I can find it cheaper.
