    Unhappy Missed the boat on .22

    Where is all the damn .22 ammunition? What the heck man? (ok, rant over) I just when to take my shopping cart to the checkout with a few boxes of 308, a cheap scope for my savage .22, a 1000 wolf 9mm's and 4 x 555 .22 Winchester's. But I guess I missed the Winchester's by a day or so!!!

    I see all you have for .22 right now are the Remington Golden Bullets. Are they the "New and Improved" ones?

    Will you be getting more CCI or Federal match .22 bulk anytime soon?

    Also hoping you'll have some wolf 9mm bullets on hand around the same time? (putting a case aside for me till some .22 comes in probably won't slide will it?)

    Thanks Chemist!

    If I heard correct, the Americans are hoarding the .22 LR ammo, very little or next to none are getting up here. It will be a very long time till we get any CCI up here.
    CCI put on a 3rd line and more shifts, and still can't keep up with the demand down there.

    Maybe if we go down to the States and dig in someone's yard, we might find some.

    Actually there was a purchase of CCI by a larger company and there was a bit of a shake up and its now starting to trickle back in
    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of #### by the clean end.

    It's been getting pretty bad. Hopefully the ammo bubble bursts and we go back to being able to get quality .22LR for $0.04/round again. I was pretty excited to find a couple 300 round boxes of mini mags at the store-which-shall-not-be-named a week ago. :D That was the last of what they had unfortunately.

    My LGS had Velocitors a while back $90 for 500. ($0.18/round) I bought them.

    You can find ammo occasionally, just keep your eyes peeled and stock up when you find it.

    Well, I have bought two different bricks of CCI from new stock - from two different shops within the last couple weeks.

    I'm not a big .22 shooter, but I never had problems finding stuff in my area during "the great starvation"

    Never had a problem finding it either
    The problem is that people don't want to buy online and pay for shipping
    There is sh!t loads of .22 to be had
    You just gotta pay to play

    Buy bulk, and buy lots when you can. CCI is way too over priced for my guns.
