Federal Champion .22LR (Man, that was fast!)

[JAB]

Almost forgot, I also had something that apparently no one else had. .38. not the best stuff, Precision Delta wadcutters. But the people who bought said they didnt care, they were just glad to get some 38 at 10 bucks a box. (I thought there was plenty of 38 out there)

 

I haven't seen much .38 of any kind around in my area in months - well, except for the ones I have loaded, myself.

 

As for .22LR, the only real amount of ammo I saw for sale on the 127 (we went on Saturday and did the Crossville/Jamestown area) was at the hotel in Jamestown where quite a few folks set up every year.  That dealer had some Hornady .38s and a few, other brands but I felt that they were priced about double what they should have been.  He also had one box of Winchester Super X .22LR in the 100 round pack (normal price somewhere around $8) and had a $15 price tag on it.  No, thanks.  Then I saw a stack of about ten or so Federal boxes of 50 .22LR with (iirc) a $10 price tag on them - and then realized that they were rat shot!  That was when I decided not to even look any further.

 

People selling firearms had insane prices on them, too - as in prices so high that even if they were willing to 'deal' they weren't going to be even approaching reasonable.  Of course, I have gotten used to that at flea markets, etc. even before the current insanity.  A lot of folks seem to think that the utility grade, non-collectible, single barrel shotgun they have for sale has gold lining the barrel or something.  I guess they get their pricing info from pawn shops.  I literally saw a shotgun that looked just like the old Stevens I bought a couple of years ago (at a gun show, no less) for $79 and the guy had a $175 price tag on it.  Well, I said 'just like' but that isn't true - the Stevens I have is in a lot better condition.

 

I know ammo is a bit hard to come by, right now but I have to say I didn't see nearly as much in the way of ammo and so on last year as I saw in previous years, either.  I wonder if the gun show that was also last weekend (I think last year was the first year they did it - sponsored by Crossville unless I am mistaken) drew off a lot of the guns/ammo for sale in that area.

I use to buy the bulk of my ammo from Natchez when I lived in Illinois. When I moved down here five years ago their website wouldn't accept my $500.00 ammo order. Left the order page and went back and read in the restrictions that they will not ship to Tennessee. Did that change?

I was a customer back when I lived in MS. Always great service and reasonable pricing.

 

But their website still lists "Offer not valid in TN, GA, and AL."

 

It's unfortunate, but business is business. Good folks nonetheless.
