.22 WRF in stock
I snagged 5 boxes of CCI .22 WRF for my Rem. Model 12 today at a local flea market. Just checked online out of curiosity, and lo and behold, CCI is showing it in stock. Thought I'd let folks know.

I've had the .32 bug for a while and been craving a .32-20 in some form. This one will do nicely.. Early/ mid 1920s. 2 factory Winchester, and the rest are reloads for recycling
