I would have to assume that FL and Ark have a small customer base compared to bigger box stores. None of our lgs or big box stores on the western slope have ammo on a consistent basis. With 4 children and 2 adults here we would go through 2 to 3 500 round bricks a month from April to October. I wish we had stores with that kind of availability here. I bought 6 boxes of Auto Match when it appeared here in Delta at Walmart last fall. That's long gone and was the only time I have seen 22 LR in bulk any where. I check 2-4 times a month when I happen to be in such stores. I would agree that 22 LR isn't the currency of the future. It seems to be the currency of the last 5 years.
