I've been buying as little as possible. I have plenty of ammo for my rifles. I happened to get into shooting pistols in November and just hadn't built a supply when this panic happened. I've been picking up 9mm and .40 for about $20-$25 a box for 50. I went to the gunshow this weekend and saw people askin $80 a brick for .22lr. I don't think they were selling any though. I carried 2 bricks with me in hopes of trading it for some .40 ammo but no one seemed interested in trading and I was willing to take 2 boxes of 50 of .40 or 9mm ammo for a brick of .22lr. They all seemed to think I was crazy, lol
