 It's nationwide. I work at a major retailer in Iowa and as soon as it comes in it's gone. And not much is coming in.

I'm not paying 15 dollars a box of 50 . That's what's wrong now . People paying that kind of price . Hellll I shoot my 270 before I do that . I can get a box for 20 buck's . Guess I sell my 22 looks like I well not need it no more . I well just shoot my shotgun and reload my own for a little of nothing . Plus I got around 20 cases of 12 gauge if not more being the old trap shooter I was .

Seems not too long ago I bought a box of 50 for about 2 or 3 dollars. I havent shot mine in a while so I had no idea they were getting hard to find   :(

I reload my own .308 and 30-06 rounds and could produce a premium bullet with new cases and a 165 grain Nosler ballistic tip for .68 cents a piece.  Of course, it has been eight years since I have bought any of the components, so things have definitely changed.  

I have been in Europe since 2006 and haven't been in the market for rimfire ammo - with 2 exceptions of visiting my dad in NE Mississippi.  And then, I was able to buy a box of CCI stingers (100) for $2.
