I think it is funny to hear the people when they say they wont buy any more 22lr ammo until the price comes back down to "well below $20 a brick".
Wake up! $25 per brick is the new "normal" price. Why would you sell something for less when it is worth more?
I sure would like some milk for my breakfast cereal, but gosh... $2.99 a gallon seems crazy, I remember when it was $1.99 a gallon... I'll just wait to have breakfast until the price comes back down to what it was....
I think arguing that most folks would start out plinking with a $500-$1000 rifle and rounds that are $.50 each is silly. I think its even more so to argue that they would hand load there own ammo to make it more affordable. For every one person who might do that today there are hundreds that start off with a .22

You make $200/hr? After taxes, you get $100 and a brick these days is around $50.OTOH, minimum wage was about $2/hr - if I was lucky enough to have a job - about half the time I wasn't. It took me 2 to 3 hours of working to buy a brick, now it takes me less than half an hour - if I were inclined to pay the current prices.
You can get rimfire ammo for under 6 cents per round (or $30 per 500 round brick) - probably cheaper if you are in the right place at the right time (Walmart or Bimart when a shipment comes in).You make $200/hr? After taxes, you get $100 and a brick these days is around $50.
What price point are you looking at for the brass cased 7.62x39? I'm looking at a few cases that are on sale at $9.99 for PMC Bronze.However..Brass cased 7.62x39 is my "panic" buy.
