I live in Springfield,MO. which is home base for Bass Pro. As of two days ago, they had a large display of Crosman Premier pellets..mostly 177 and 22 caliber. I've had no trouble finding 22s there. WalMart, on the other hand, is a different story. I've seen CP 177 in hollowpoint but that's about all. I have bought cheap Daisy wadcutters in 22 there to use in breaking in a new 22 but the entire pellet selection isn't great. Keith, I have to agree with the others who think it's a local/regional thing with your stores. As much as I dislike Pyramyd Air, they do have a good selection of pellets not to mention the good buys you can get from them..( buy 3 get the forth free.)
Good luck....
