Most big truck loaded with American made 22LR ammo is headed up North to Canada. I have no reason why this is happening. When the local Wal-Mart is sold out of all .22 ammo their is a problem. I was in the place about 2.00 PM. I have seen prices from $45 to $75 a brick. This ammo was always ment to be inexpensive to bring in new shooters. When I was 17-18 we would get a brick for $8 and shoot on Sunday all day long. Im glad I got some ammo many months ago for $16 a brick. I was going to just buy one but the wife said to get them all. I guess thats why I married her! God bless!
