Last weekend the Kittery Trading Post had a 2 day Winchester truckload ammunition sale. A couple of people I know went to the store before it opened on Saturday and found lines 50 people deep at each door. They had 333 packs of Winchester 22LR for $18 and some off name brand 50 rd boxes of 22LR for $4. They limited each customer to 3 boxes of each. My friends said the crowd around the shelf of 22 ammo was like a feeding frenzy of sharks and the 22 ammo sold out in a couple of minutes. It remains crazy out there.
I have also heard that a small gun store in Rochester NH is taking 22 LR ammo in trade towards the purchase of firearms and paying a premium price for it.
