I've just now got into shooting my firearms regularly. I enjoy it as a hobby and a past time. I must admit though, it becomes hard to shoot without any rounds. I am not really needing any LR Ammo, as my bolt-action doesn't eat up that much, I do however, need short .22. I was passed down a revolver yesterday, one that my grandpa owned. I literally have 2 .22 short rounds for it, and that was in the gun when I received it. I'm not needing it to hoard, but a box of 50 rounds every few weeks is not such a tall order. But it does get kinda frustrating when I see 4 people go into Academy and buy all of their short ammo available, and then give it to one person. How are you going to shoot that much? I would be happy to get atleast 1 box so my dad and I could shoot it for once. Anyway, sorry for the rant, but would someone mind explaining this to me? I've been to 4 stores this week, all who said no on Short.
