Thanks guys. I figured that folks would rather have information from the producers rather than the internet rumor mill... Between high demand related shortages and price gouging we are all being impacted by this situation. Even reloaders...  dies for some calibers are not available and components aren't making it to market. This situation is an anti-gunner's fantasyland.

I've had a couple associates tell me that they didn't get this... they didn't recognize what was in the photo. I'm thinking it was Photoshopped... but amusing nonetheless.

I got an unforseen offer as partial trade for a plow I was selling.  Got a black rifle 😉 and came with 300 rounds of ammo. If it didn't come with that it would have been useless.  Lol

I wish I had thought about that a year ago.

There are some other auctions there for 22 LR ammo... CCI 22 LR currently at $15/100.

I long for the days when Remington Target .22 LR went for $125 for a case of 5,000... and that was $25-40 more than a case of typical 22 LR went for at the time.  Looks like that ammo is going for $750-$900 a case now if you can find it. Makes me wish I had back some of the 30-40 thousand rounds I sent down the barrel of my .22 target pistol.  No, not really. I enjoyed using it up.  ;)
