22lr ammo

[tombogan03884]

Sad but true 22lr rifle out here is 60.00 a box of the rem golden bullets. Shit the cci mini mags are 9.99 a box if you can find any. I hope no hates me for this but I have two full Home depot buckets full of federal bulk  22lr. I would buy 2 or 3 boxes a week sometimes just to have. I did the same with the cheap federal 12ga target loads.

You are a bad person because JrLobo, and  Ellis  didn't plan ahead .
When you put it that way they sound like liberals .

After the last shortage I bought 10000 rounds of .22 and only paid about $275.

I have a buddy that used to buy a couple of the 550 packs every week just because.  He stopped when he hit 80,000.  He also has a reloading components in bulk quantities.  Fortunate for me because he has sold me both for a fair price. 

Don't bash the hoarders, befriend them and they will share 

FWIW after everything calms down I'll be ordering some bulk reloading components and begin acquiring some rimfire ammo in bulk.

I share and my buddies share. We team up and stock up on ammo and parts.

tom, didn't need to plan ahead.  I have enough of everything.  Found some bullets I had forgotten...YES!!!  I bought 22 to test which is the best in my conversion unit so I have enough.  Oh yes, I bought an AR at a non scalped price during this crunch,  Just lucky I guess!  LOL  Probably have enough to last but I will buy more.  After all, I'm only 66.

FWIW

I believe it is two fold:

1.  The demand for ammunition of all calibers is straining raw material supplies and manufacturing facilities;

2.  People are shooting .22lr much more due to the increase in shooter numbers, and the affordability of .22lr as compared to centerfire.  This increase results in people purchasing more for current and future use.

I do not believe the hoarding argument.  Between the military, other departments within the government, and increased shooting interest we are taxing our supply lines.  Add to that that people will purchase to meet their needs and replenish their own empty shelves whenever they see something, and you a a perfect storm of supply and demand.

I was told last year that I was hoarding, because I had over 5,000 rounds of .22 lr in two different varieties.  Guess what:  I could not complete my league shooting this winter, because I ran out of quality .22lr for bullseye and couldn't find more.  The only .22lr I have right now is set aside for Firearm Safety and Hunter Education class this summer.  Pretty hard to run a class with our ammunition!

I guess this now refers to "the good ol' days".

I go along with that, but that is less an "ammo" issue, than a "whatever happens to stick in their brain" issue .
Every now and then you hear about some one with a house beyond packed with something, could be anything from "Happy Meal toys to animals . (heard a story a while back about an old lady with over 50 cats she wasn't taking very good care of, when she died and didn't feed them they started eating her. )
