Anyone know how folks on other continents are doing? Europe, Africa, South America, Asia? How about the Canadians?
My friends & suppliers in Germany tell me Europe has more rimfire ammo than it needs. They have sales on it. I asked what kind and they said plenty of European makers and even US, (CCI etc.) I checked with a couple suppliers on exporting some CCI to the US. They had all I wanted. The shipping would put my delivered cost @ $45 a brick. But I went ahead and got a permit for 300,000 rounds. That was when most anything that would shoot was bringing 75-100 bucks from the scalpers. But now things seem to be easing up, here, so I've held off. Don't want to be stuck with that much ammo at 15$ above the "normal" price. To answer your question they don't have the hysterical hoarders and cannibals we have in the US and their supply of RF ammo is just fine. I urge everyone to remember who stuck it to you during the shortage and never do business with them again, once the hysteria is over.
