My local BiMart is still selling 525 round bricks of Remington for less than $20, but I haven't seen it on the shelves since the November 2011 election. I won't pay $40 for a brick of standard .22 ammo. Ever. But then I've got 20,000 rounds stored. The shortage has kept me from using my .22's for sage rat shooting, shooting 2000 rounds in a weekend is normal. It's more fun with a 223 anyways. Now I just set up farther away.
