I don't know how one can 'hoard' something that is not available. I know the owners or managers of nearly every sporting goods store in my area and they insist that they can not get a delivery on 22 LR. I have not seen any 22 LR on the shelves in nearly two years and I look every time I get to a shop. It is simply not being delivered to the sporting goods stores.

I will hunt everywhere before I die!
