Did not head to Tanner, really don't want to get wrapped up in hoarding 22lr, I actually would like to go have some fun shooting it...(silly me). Hopefully the hysteria will subside at some point in the future and availability won't be such an obstacle![]()
I went to bass pro yesterday and they had plenty of .223 and .45 along with a bunch of hunting calibers, but all at crazy prices. Cheapest .223 was $.45/rd. Reloading stuff was nonexistent. No powder, no reasonably priced bullets. There were 4 little boxes of 100 SRPs and I bought all four. Last month when I went to the Lonetree cabelas, they had thousands of primers in the big boxes of 1000 and even had some powder on the shelves.
Bass Pro seems like a bigger Gander Mtn... Lots of clothes and camping stuff, and a huge gun counter, but no real substance.
In related news, my dad lives in Michigan and he bought 1000rds of brass cased .223 for $310 yesterday from their Gander Mtn. They had pallets of it and no limit. Also had lots of powders and other reloading supplies with no buying limits. Everything but .22.

Just tossing out a little update. Went to the Cabela's in Kearney, NE yesterday. Plenty of stock on hand in large quantities. 9mm Winchester and Remington hundred round packs for $29.99, plenty of IMR 4064, Win 748, and H335 powder and quite a few others, every kind of primer imaginable, and every caliber ammo on hand except 22.
