[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2669464, member: 8394"] Local shop still stocked them when I was in college, that's what gave me and my buddies the idea to try them. They survived right up to obummer, but don't thing they sold in enough volume to survive the first round of what's become almost a decade and half long availability shortage. It's very possible some idiot in elected office called them cop killers or some such nonsense, there's elected congressmen who think Guam can roll over.... so anything is possible. Reality is they died of in the early 2000s, I bought my first box in probably 06 or 07 out of little more than morbid curiosity, at that time you could buy a wssm wimchester at Kmart or sports authority. Never mind the plethora of 22-250s and dusty 220 Swifts. Somewhere between 1970 and 2010 culture shifted. It was a rare person who had more that a basic battery of guns. If something new came out something old went on the used rack, only legacy gun guys and the loonies had a safe full of just about everything. Selling mediocre accuracy ammo to someone with a shotgun, 22, revolver and a trusty 30-06 is viable business. Nowadays it'd be a tough sell when a rar 22-250 with ammo nearly as capable of fps with much better accuracy exist in spades. They weren't that great and aren't really needed anymore.... so they vanished. Fellow who I loaded accelerators with back in college called to visit on turkey day, I'd forwarded a link of this thread to him. He was much more passionate about trying to figure out getting them to work. He remembered a lot more detail, I'll try and type it up over the weekend. [/QUOTE]
