Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires So why is there still not any .22lr ammo?

I like a conspiracy theory as well as the next guy but mule deer laid out the most logical scenario I've heard. I was of a mind that it couldn't be hoarders until I went to a yard sale where a guy was selling the estate of a friend. he had 2 one pound bottles of imr 4350 powder on the table. of course I grabbed them. I asked if he had any more and he took me in the back where his pickup was. his deceased buddy was a hoarder. in the pickup was 800 pounds of imr 4350. I hadn't seen any powder for a year, it was like a wet dream. I bought all I will ever use in my life time for 15.00 a lb. also had a good supply of 4064 and blc(2). that's when I realized the magnitude of hoarding going on.
