Got .22 ?

[Josh Smith]

Hello,

I don't think it was so much hoarding as it was new shooters.

If the Internet represents even 50% of the shooting community (it doesn't; more like 1%-10% at a guess,) then looking around places like The Liberal Gun Club might give you some idea of the number of new shooters in the US.

I will concede that a few bare shelves due to new shooters for which the industry was not prepared probably sparked a small panic, but folks are just shooting more than ever.

Regards,

Josh

I have planned for this....

.22wmr as well! Good job.
I got a few bricks of blazers @ $19, now they're at $30.
I don't find much of a shortage, I find the prices have increased though. I should buy some more blazers, with the low dollar, prices will probably increase more.

Its something that is happening right now. I didnt "jump on the net and start a topic" to start a hoarding cycle. So dont be a ####

So here it goes again...... as gun owners , we create our own shortage of ammo . It happens over and over again . People jump on the net and start a topic about an ammo shortage , folks read it , and the panic and hoarding starts . The United States just went through it , and are just now recovering from the shortage ; but Canada avoided it as the U.S. shooters were hoarding and the Canadian shooters were not . We had lots of ammo , the U.S. had little.....if there is no hoarding , there will be no ammo shortage.....food for thought....

Figured I'd check since I was in town. Local Canadian Tire has a few various boxes of CCI stuff upwards of $50 for 325 rd box......not sure what's so special about that particular stuff.

Wal-mart had very little, but noticeably a single box of 555 rds of Winchester.

I didn't buy anything.

Thats not very much really. Not hard for me to go through 2 bricks a weekend.

I usually pick up a couple bricks every time I go to a show, I seem to be stocked up ok for the time being.

The Ct in Cochrane has a whole shelf and a half of. 22 ammo!
However half of it is Remingduds

Chunderbolts? That's all the WSS here ever seems to have in stock.

Remember when American Eagle 38gr HP ammo was $135 a case at Wholesale and the wheeler they have holds 7 cases. or maybe the customer appreciation days at P&D when they had the 17HMR ammo on for $109 for 500, those were they days to have had some extra cash. FS

 

[--PA--]

Mt CT has at least a dozen different brands in bulk pack and actually have sales in 50 rounds for under 2$, the local gun store also has TONS but he is selling a brick of 500 of Thunderbolts for 50$.

And for our good old site sponsors the absence of stock is nothing new and i'm pretty sure it will never change

lol, the zombie apocalypse won't happen. But if it does, you're set.

I guess I should feel lucky then, our CT is fully stocked, tons of federal bulk packs and lots of different kinds of Winchester bulk packs.
