I can find it if I look. I have 100 525 boxes in the safe. Mostly federal.
Not hoarding I just pick up a box every time I see it. It's out there. I was buying a box a week between Walmart and rural king.
We usually shoot about 1000 rounds a month plinking out of various 22s probably 400 rounds of .223 out of the ar15s 200 rounds of various stuff total .308 30-06 and 17 hmr

i have no problem getting loaded 223 from a local gunsmith. 8 bucks a box
all day long.
i also reload tons of 223 and get my once fired and bullets from Everglades Ammunition and Reloading good prices and delivery is
included in the price.
a while ago i called CCI and asked about shortages on most of their
civilian offerings. the gentleman told me they batch process ammo.
they might spend x weeks a year making stingers for the years supply.
once that is sold out there is nothing until the next batch. there is no
factory stock so after they ship the last box, thats it! he said that normally
retailers carry the inventory and sell it over the period between batchs
but when hoarding occurs retail inventories are rapidly drained and wide
spread shortages occur. i got the impression that civilian ammo fills in
gaps between runs of government orders.
sooner or later some enterprising young man will figure out to
reload rimfire!

What puzzles me is the hoarding. I can understand the people reselling it, but the ones just stockpiling it not so much.
The only real use for a .22 I see is as a SHTF ($h!t hits the fan) survival arm mostly for hunting small game. They could be used to harass hostiles at short range, but no one is going to make an effective stand against an organized enemy with one. So what the hell do people think they're going to do with 50,000 rounds of .22LR with the clock ticking on the primers?
ut:
I don't get it.
That's exactly what the clerk at Big 5 told me recently. People get there before they do and wait for the truck to get unloaded. All whopping five bricks of .22LR that they get each week are sold before they even arrive.ut:
And yet .223 (which the gooberment uses buttloads of) and 7.62x39 are on sale almost weekly.
Just FYI, Remington bulk has a reputation for being really dirty.
I don't think so. Someone I know in CA regularly buys ammo online with no problem.

I can usually find .22 LR on Friday afternoon when the truck comes in at the local Gander Mountain but they (the store) limits you to one box (50 or 100). Price is not too bad but still much higher than normal. There is still a line and they have a "take a number" system to keep arguments to a minimum :smile: Once in a great while they offer the large pales of .22 LR but the people line up for hours before the store opens to buy that up.
NY State "safe act" is going to require you to get a back ground check before you can even buy ammout: That is currently being fought and hopefully they won't drive that law down our throat...:no: I luv NYS:hammer:

Agreed 110%, we took the kids to a youth shoot and I wanted to cry when I had to break open the only brick of .22lr ammo I had. The kids had a blast, learned gun safety and became very interested in the hobby. Now I just I am able to keep finding ammo so they can learn more and enjoy shooting all while getting better at it.
Haven't been able to find .22 ammo here for about a yr. The crazy expensive stuff is around, but cheap, or bulk stuff never sees the shelves. Stores that do get it in will only sell one box per customer, and it is gone as soon as they can take it out of the boxes, they don't even bother putting it on the shelf.
9mm is coming back, still harder to find, .223 is coming back, 7.62 x 39 got a bit scarce for a while, but it is mostly back.

You know, I do wish people would've opened their eyes. Long ago.
The US has been under direct attack from al Quida since the early 90's. But none of that counted because it was happening to Americans in far away places that most people couldn't find on a map. I was overseas watching the lackluster reporting, thinking "when will we wake up." Just wasn't that interesting, until they flew some planes into some buildings here on the "home land."
So you tell me who hasn't been watching the news over the past since December 29th, 1992?
