IT seems that in these parts, 22RF of both the LR and the WMR varieties is now readily available again. The local Cascade store has had some REM 'bucket of bullets' 1600+ rounds of HP come in, several 525 packs of 22LR Golden Bullet HP, and I have been buying my one pack a day allotment of CC Mini mag HP 22LR ammo for several days in a row lately.
Also, I am seeing quite a bit of CCI 22WMR ammo out and around.
This is a great sign that the ammo companies are beginning to be able to meet demand, but I sure hope that my brothers and sisters here at 24hrcf are seeing this as well.
How are things in your part of the world? Able to find and buy plated, high velocity HP 22LR and or Magnum again?

Not much reasonably priced rimfire ammo in Omaha. Cabela's has a lot of Norma Match-22, $88 for 500, and Tac-22, $65 for 500. Availability at every other retail outlet is, no pun intended, pretty much hit or miss.

I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, north of Seattle. In my local stores, I can now walk in and reasonably expect to see "some" store-stock, and 1/2 of it reasonably priced.
Let's hope this is the starting road back to something sane.

Agreed. Maybe what I am seeing is regional since you and I live in the PNW, near the CCI plant. I have been told that CCI makes the brass, or cases, for nearly all 22RF is made at the CCI plant. Not sure how accurate that is.

Prices are close to normal but supply is very spotty. Walmart is a no-go. I never see any .22 ammo there. Academy shelves are empty, but the main stock clerk says that there is plenty in the back waiting to be put out for Black Friday.

I can find 22 lr target grade and a few other randoms, but the bulk ammo is still very limited in my area.
I am still waiting to see 17 HM2!

I gave up looking locally years ago, as the good quality stuff I prefer was either not even carried or priced out of reach. About a year ago I saw some Stingers on the shelf in my LGS and asked for a couple of boxes without asking the price. Turnd out they were $9.95. This shop isn't a gouger, so I expect they just passed on their increased cost.
Since my kids are grown, I don't need multiple bricks anymore, so I just buy decent stuff, from MiniMags on up, and I buy online.

To the original question:
No.
Why they are found in some parts of the country and not in others seems beyond comprehension.

No, especially not the variety we used to see. I haven't seen the CCI SGB in years, which I miss because my favorite .22 puts them all in one hole and the flat point makes it especially deadly. some guy in Baltimore advertises it on GB, he must have bought it all when CCI stopped making it.

I keep hearing how the .17 HM2 is the best squirrel rifle ever made, but I haven't seen any ammo on line or off, so I've never had the chance to try it. HMR seems to be available, so I shoot that some.

Last week I was at Walmart looking at something else when I checked sporting goods (at 2 PM). The clerk was stocking 100 packs of Remington "Golden" .22s. I ask if they ever got CCI, and he pulled out 2 100 packs of Mini Mag solids. I got them for $7.29 each.
