Minute too late
I was at a gun show this morning and I noticed a guy walking past me with a rifle and a note out of the muzzle. It was black / stainless and the note said Knight 45 cal. $200.
It was so crowded and I was trying to catch up with hom to get a look at it but another guy stopped him,looked at it and decided to buy it. It was a Disc Extreme with scope. UGGGGG I was POd.
Everything else was ridiculously priced. A brick of 22LR selling for $100! Gun prices thru the roof. It was crazy. I did manage to get 2 boxes of 250 gr .452" XTPs for $30 each which wss pretty good.

Could do pretty well for a while.

Maybe it was luck or whatever but I've been stocking up on lead and a bit of tin and I've purchased several bullet molds in various calibers and have a good supply of powder too. Even if worse comes to worse I can load with black !powder or a substitute. We don't yet know what is going to happen in this country

As far as 22 rimfire goes when I was fooling with rimfire silhouette I tested a lot of different brands of standard velocity and match ammo, odds are the leftovers will last me the next ten years no problem.
