Were the S.O.B.s holding back till after the elections??????????

http://gun-deals.com/list/ammo/.22+LR

"Federal 22 LR 40gr HV Solid Champion/Lightning Ammunition, 500 Round "Brick" (10 Boxes of 50rds) - 510 $ 29.99."
http://palmettostatearmory.com/feder...50rds-510.html

Now PLEASE I am not coming down on the retailers. Palmetto, S&G Arms etc. has been nothing but good to me. They have to make a profit and past costs on.
But suddenly .22 ammo prices are falling through the frigging floor? So the question is were those S.O.B.s artificially inflating prices???? Democracy is great but I had a few rounds and held out.

It's about time. Around here they were priced out of sight.

The .22 LR shortage never made any sense to me. When manufacturers were cranking out millions of rounds per-day (4 million at one CCI factory, alone) shortages were the norm.

I'm still convinced it was an artificial shortage. All those guys who were lined up at Walmart to buy their stock when it came in, so they could sell it in their pawn shop (yes, that was happening locally) are going to have to take it in the shorts, now. I don't give a frig about them, either. They were trying to bend us over and screw us.

22 has been in abundance here for about the last 18 months, prices are floating around the $29 per 500 mark.
