I know what you mean. Pyramid Air has the best deal, but sometimes it would be nice to just pick up a tin or two when you're in town.
Our local Wally World does carry .22 Daisy wadcutters. I have one air rifle that really likes them and a couple of others that tolerate them.

Our local Sports Authority carries Gammo .22 pellets and CPHP, Crosman pointed and Benjamin HP's in .22. They shoot okay in some of my airguns but I usually buy H&N pellets online. I like to be able to select the head size of my Barracuda and Field Target Trophy pellets.

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....

It's a small world...I'm in Biloxi too.  I've bought .22 pellets at both Academy and Dick's.  Academy has the 500 count, 14.3 grain Benjamins in the brownish can.  The Benjamins are the same pellet as the Crosman Premier hollowpoint (LHP22) according to Crosman.  I've gotten the 175 count tin Crosman pointed (model PO22) .22 caliber pellets at Dick's.  Neither Dick's nor Academy has a huge .22 selection but both the Benjamin hollowpoints and the Crosman pointed pellets have given acceptable accuracy in the rifles I've used them in.  Somewhere I read the breakdown of rifles sold by caliber and the .177 VASTLY outsold any other caliber, so I guess the retailers are just matching the available ammo to the guns sold. I don't think lethality has much to do with it (at least not in our neck of the woods), it's just simply a numbers game.  The same reason you can buy numerous .30-06 loads off the shelf but it's really hard to locate .41 rimfire cartridges.

Wow, it is a small world! It's good to have you in the neighborhood. I am going go to the D'Iberville store and speak with one of the managers and let him/her know of the club we are trying to put together. Hopefully I can convince them to at least stock the Benjamins and Crosmans in .22. We'll see what happens and I'll keep you posted.

This is for 7.62X51.

I spoke with the manager in the Ocean Springs store and he is going to call his distributor/shipper and see if he can have them stocked in the store. I gave him info on the Premier Hollow Points, Ultra Mags and the Benjamin's in Hollow Point. As soon as I hear anything I will let you know.
