Hoarders and Scalpers...
I know a couple of newer, smaller shops have been doing just that. Make buddies with the Wal Mart sporting goods guys and go buy it all up when it comes in. We have a Gander Mountain close by and I have little use for them, as their Gun prices are crazy. But they have had a steady stream of Federal Auto match for $20/325. I have gone in there a few Wednesday afternoons and picked up five boxes of it.
I have a few thousand rounds of .22 on hand most all the time but haven't shot it as Willy nilly as I did pre Sandy Hook famine. I told myself when 'things got back to normal' I'd buy a federal bulk pack 525 rounds) a week until I had 10K or so stockpiled. Things still aren't what I'd call normal, with most of what I see in independent shops going for $.10/round, so I'll pick up this stuff when I can.
