Very hard to come by here also. Combination of hoarding, 22s cheaper to shoot than anything else, shortage and incidents like Sandy Hook. That is what our gun guys are telling us anyway. When Cabelas does get some they limit individual purchases but they still run out in no time. We used to be able to get some out of Canada but no more. I know guys that have over 10,000 rounds and they still want more. Weird.

I think people are more worried about obama and others trying to element the rights to own guns and can only have so much ammmo.

well said, I agree. I did ask when I was at Gander Mtn last weekend and one of the guys said people are hording them
What I have heard most is of the mfg's change their lines over for each caliber. And since the .22 is so cheap its the last one any mfg is going to run based just on profits. I think the loading lines are separate but the same presses form all the brass. I think now that there is an overstock of common centerfire calibers we will start seeing .22 showing back up.
Its amazing that I can buy bulk .223 or 9mm for less now than 2 years ago, before all the crazieness.

The constant threat and fear of banning weapons and ammo keeps the .22 pretty scarce. It's too bad that so many are hoarding though. I'm considering buying a .22 pistol, but this issue alone is enough to make me think twice. I do know a guy that works in a retail store that sells ammo. He's been a pretty good "in" for lots of guys at work for ammo.

at gander mtn the price foe a box of 20 for a .270 was 20 bucks. Does anyone else know a better price to buy them. Seems to much, a buck a bullet

when it come to .22, is some amo messy for the guy as if it will need to be cleaned more. Are some rounds useless for even target practice. I guess what I am asking is are there rounds to stay away from like they wont fly straight to dirty up the gun? If so what is a good round for a 22 riffle

I did some research on line and learned what LRN, TMJ and FMJ means, also the grain content. Seems like a lot of people stay away from the lead round nose for reasons but claim it has good stopping power. My target practic, maybe the LRN will suffice, price is good
I have all kinds of hot but old 22 amo but went back to standard lead longs has more hitting power & shoots straight. All the other stuff copper, hollow points & hyper speed bullets produce flyers now & again with standards no flyers. Can't say dirt was problem just clean when needed.

Since the postal service is also loading up on ammo, this is what the new postal carrier vehicles are going to look like:
