Damn neckbeards finally let a batch slip thru! BWAHAHA!
Well, not really. I just got real lucky and managed to snag a little. I haven't fired my 10-22 in months because of the lack of ammo. Now I'll have to wait until this next coming weekend to go shoot it up.

| I recently bought my first .22 ammo in years, two bricks of SK-Lapua, and one of Wolf match, at normal pre-panic pricing. I still have thousands of rounds of cheap plinking ammo from before the panic, but not much quality stuff like CCI standard velocity, and SK or Wolf match, which are what I shoot the most of. So things are definitely improving a little, although they still have a long ways to go before it's back to normal. |

Quoted:
WalMart here in the desert has a fair sprinkling of centerfire pistol ammo, but the .22 is still nonexistent. It does dribble in, but goes so fast it's unreal. They're trying to make .22 go the way of .32 rimfire. You think that .22 will become obsolete because it's so popular? Not gonna happen. But it will certainly hurt the sales of new .22 rifles and pistols, until it's readily available again. |

Employees are flipping it to supplement their income, it doesn't even touch the shelves here. Anything they do have like .22 WMR, .22 Short and blanks are bought up by idiot non-shooters. Just walking past the ammo case I see these people buying "that ammo everyone is looking for". I am tempted to tell them that what they're buying is NOT what people are looking for, but they are the cancer that is causing the problem so I don't.
If people would stop buying it at scalper prices the stupidity would stop. But many here bitch about "neckbeards" and then turn around and buy the shit at stupid prices because they "had to have it". Or even better they post a thread bragging about finding ammo, then proceed to buy 12 boxes of it.

What I'm saying is:
.32RF went away for the 2nd World War and never came back. Under our current Obamination, I've gone a few years w/o finding any .22 on store shelves. Only diff is, it isn't Hitler, it's profiteers, panickers, resellers and limited mfg resupply are making .22 unobtainable. If it stays unobtainable for the casual shooter who wants to walk into WalMart and purchase it off the shelf, interest will wane; it's gonna go away. How many more years of being unable to buy this stuff off the shelf will we put up with? Who knows, but the shooting public's patience aint infinite. I could go the rest of my life on old stocks of ammo, but most shooters and would-be shooters absolutely cannot. New shooters need to use up lots of bricks of .22 while chasing marksmanship. How are my nieces and nephews going to get into shooting, if all I could find in the last 1 1/2 years was 100 rnds. of .22? Answer: Ammo shortages throttle new shooters in their cribs, and the future of shooting is definitely jeopardized. I can see .22 going away. |

It wont ever go away, they are still making it as fast as they can, it's just disappearing before it hits the shelves. Walmart neckbeards are buying it before it goes on the shelf to resell for 5 times what they paid. |

Walmart neckbeards are buying it before it goes on the shelf to resell for 5 times what they paid. EXACTLY. This is what is happening in my little town along the Ohio River. Also, I can't prove it but the 350-pound, triple-chinned guy who works at the sports counter is in cahoots with a group of neckbeards. I have been so tempted to run a sting operation on his ass. I have thought about asking him if I could buy some .22 LR ammo and who he would recommend to buy it from. I am almost certain he would either try to sell me some himself or he would give me the phone number of one of his neckbeard friends. Then I would turn his ass in to the store manager. |
