This .22LR shortage is starting to piss me off.

[blackradon171]

Wholesale sports calgary had some 555 bulk and a pallet of fedral target, limit two "bricks" per person.

Less than $4 tax in for the whole brick. The entire enchilada was less than $4. Sorry.....no resale here. I'm keeping this stuff.

Where's your spirit of entrepreneurship? Who refuses a 100% profit?
Kidding apart, I'm glad that one of us got a lucky break.

Canadian tire here in central sask got a large shipment of ammo in but at $50 /500 it's going to stay there. I hope

 

[krchov]

it will sell as most places have none

Cabela's Barrie had a lot of Remingron LR ammo... including Rem Target. They also had CCI Quiets and CCI Subsonic... I took a thousand rounds of CCI Subs... not cheap at $9.99/100.

At CT today I saw a number of bricks of Winchester .22LR ammo sold in a nice wooden box. The box looked nice enough that I inquired about how much the ammo cost. At $60 a brick for Winchester .22LR that box was way too pricey.

Did they have any Winchester 222 or cci mini mag left?

Didn't see any Winchester ammo and no Mini-Mags.

I wouldn't take Wildcats if they paid me...

 

[The Shaft]

they actually run fine in my 10-22 but jam up like hell in the norc browning clone
still less than 4.00$ for a brick

 

[tikka 2]

I bought two half cases yesterday, that would be 12500 rds.

Picked up a bucket of bolts locally, for an ungodly price. Typically I'll avoid them, but sometimes one can't be picky.

i believe this whole B.S shortage is all the fault of our southern neighbor's.... they have a tendency to be greedy, overindulgent pigs. someone whispers shortage and they all run each other, bashing one another over the heads to see who can fill a shopping cart the quickest, and stuff as many crates into every crevice they can find on their property. And heck, some of them prolly don't even own 22's...... its sick.

if everyone only bought what they actually needed, NEEDED. there would be plenty to go around for everyone. but thats not the American Way. ;-(

here's a crazy concept, in a free country I can buy whatever I want with the fruits of my labour. You criticize them but would do the exact same thing if you were an American gun-owner. I know I would. If you saw reasonably priced 22LR that wouldn't sit longer than 10 minutes on store shelf and didn't buy it, you're an idiot.

The real cause of the ammunition shortage is the DHS ordering billions of rounds of ammunition (which they don't NEED) to overload manufacturers' resources and dry market supply. Government gets more ammo, civilians less. So don't blame the civilians for buying 500rds of 22LR because they don't need it, blame the DHS for buying 2 billion rounds when they use 15 million a year for training.

Government agencies buying things they don't need in amounts they cannot use is not a conspiracy to deprive citizens of the same materials, it's just SOP.

For my ,22 guns, I would.
Wouldn't take any Remingtons if they paid me.

At least since Obummer came to power it is.

Forbes isn't exactly a "tinfoil hat" source:

As a matter of fact, it's not SOP. An order of this magnitude is unprecedented and ludicrously expensive. And to add, my comment is relevant to this thread because it addresses ammunition shortages that "piss OP off". Whether it actually is the cause of shortages or not, I don't think people should be critical of one another because each and every one of us would buy the scarce amount of ammo if stumbled upon (i.e. inexpensive Norc crates). American gun-owners are not 'overindulgent pigs' in the respect that they buy what they see with money they have earned. Just my 2¢

Did you know that the DHS uses 3x more ammunition than that of the U.S. army?!
