A lot of people are buying it to use in place so they don't eat up the more expensive stuff for range practice. Why the AR15 .22 are selling off the shelves too. I know one training company that is now offering a class with the AR15 .22
We went to Walmart yesterday. We were buying 500 rounds in one box All they had left were two boxes of 50 each and we grabbed them. The 12 ga only had small boxes of 25 each. Over half the shelves were empty of all other caliber ammo.
Yeah, I have been to quite a few walmart's and Meijer's stores in MI and they are out, I also tried ordering ammo through Cabela's and Natchez magazines and Natchez was almost completely out.
Just came from my toy store and he had Winchester, Remington CCI and a new one on me so I bought a 1000 rounds of Winchester M22 to try out and he gave me a 100 rounds of Remington 22 Ceebee that he had just got in that neither of us had heard of. He still had about 4000 rounds of various and sundry types of 22LR on the shelf when I left. He also had about 8 AR lookalike 22's on the rack waiting for their new owners to come in and get them and a few AR15's waiting for their new owners to clear the check. The boys and girls at the FBI appear to be a little behind. He had cases of 9MM. 45, .380 and 40cal stacked up behind the counter and on the floor in front of the counter. Apparently i got there right after his delivery came in.
No I dont have a TV, I live in the U.P in a cabin without electricity. Please fill me in on what has been happening recently that would cause .22 ammo to disappear.

The anti-gun war drum is beating very loadly right now. And there is incomming ban/resrictions heading our way,so everyone is paniced.
The main stream media is pushing hard on banning ALL semi-automatic weapons and all mag. with more than 10 rounds. So everywhere you go you cannot buy a rifle because they are all sold out and now everyone is buying ammo as well.
At least where I live which is like 30 min from the CCI manufacturer it is almost inpossable to find. People are stocking up on all things gun ammo, firearms, modkits. It's all pretty hard to find and when you do its costs an arm and a leg
i have probably 4-5k rounds of various .22 ammo. even with that, i was at wally world a couple of days ago and saw they had a few 225 round boxes of Rem .22 for $9.95. yeah, i got some for sure. good price in today's market and it's always good to have more ammo than you think you'll need.
I was in academy the other day and happened by the ammo section. Shelves were empty of the popular calibers but the less-popular ones had plenty. I happened to glance at the 22mag section an noticed a fex boxes of bulk minimag 22lrs that were mistakenly put in the wrong place. I helped myself to 2 boxes.
I am seriously considering buying a less-popular caliber just so i can find ammo in times like these.
Eric Holder, Diane Feinstein, joe breakdancin' biden, hillary clinton, and barry soetero (communist in chief).
Those of us who saw this coming over a decade ago have been procuring supplies to continue to enjoy our 2nd and our hobby.
The shelves are being cleared by the last minute holdouts who thought this would never happen. The asleep are still doing nothing to arm themselves.
BTW walmart also is toying with the idea of NOT reordering ammo, because they are in the back pocket of the powers that be (see tvs at checkout spouting "see something say something").
Good luck in the contest to those of you who havent purchased your supplies yet.
I received a sale catalog for January from son line store I usually buy form. They had American eagle 1000 rd loose box of .223 for $399.99. Today the online sight had the very same ammo for $999.99. There is nothing like sticking it to the very people who support them for years.
Seriously? Have you missed the buying frenzy that has been going on in the wake of the CT shooting and threats of bans? This is the same thing that happened back in 2008 when Obama got elected, so it's not like we haven't been through it before too.
Head Muslim In Charge Obama got reelected, a psychopath retard shoots up a school, Brady bunch says women should just let rapists have their 30 seconds of fun, not shoot them, Feinstein says only I can carry a gun, not you, Christmas buying takes place, greed factor sets in with moneygrubbing merchants, and ya wonder why?...
Yeah, and that's not counting the ammo being used in the wars and large orders from our homeland government agencies. The factories can only make so much and it's selling faster than they can make it.
