We had another 6000 rounds come in from a distributor today that will sit in the back until what we currently have on the shelf sells out.
It's still difficult to consistently find 22 at the local Walmarts because folks are still camping out and buying it as soon as it's stocked (several of these guys operates a pawn shop in the area). I've also heard rumors that some of the walmart employees hold ammo back for themselves so that they can flip it at the gun shows, but I don't have any solid proof of that.
ETA, our cost on 22lr is high enough now that there's no way we could sell it for $.05/round.
