It's a pain for sure. I got a box of 222rnds at Wal-Mart last summer, you just got to check every time you go in a ammo place. The only reason i got the box was a punk was complaining about them being Win hollow points, so i quickly asked to see a box. When i got the box, he said that he wants all 3 boxes, i just laughed at him and added it to my stuff. The clerk later told me that the same punk gets most of the .22 ammo every time it comes in, and resells it. This winter i was at the Hardware store and an Amish fellow was trying to buy the only 2 boxes of .22ammo. The owner said, "one box only, you ain't going to mark it up and resell them". I have to start checking again as my boys shot a bunch up this winter, and i'm running low. Good luck.
