In Colorado I see 22LR fairly regularly but certainly not well stocked. I just paid $28.00 for a 500 brick.

They haven't ramped up 22 ammo production, yet everyone wants 30k in ammo in their possession. Pretty easy to figure out the problem.

I went to the local store the other day to see what's what on the black friday deals, and there was 22 ammo on the shelf. The dude working the counter automatically assumes I want some 22 ammo so starts putting the boxes on the counter. I told him I'm good on the ammo, but the other guys at the counter might want it instead. Funny thing is, they all said they were good to as they had about 30-35k each sitting at home. And that was like 3 or 4 guys.

30K is a bit extreme, I agree. And yes this is a big part of the problem.

I have about 2,000 rounds and am pretty happy with that. I only need to keep THAT many in reserve because I love blasting ground squirrels in the spring and early summer and that can eat up a bunch of .22 rounds.

Just glad to be seeing more and more on the shelves of late. I hope that you folks in other parts of the US start seeing it like I am or better. Brighter days are coming!

Oh, FWIW Freedom Munitions is selling CI brand 22LR, plated round nose, pretty cheap and NO LIMIT on how much one can buy. One of thier loadings is a 35gr bullet at 1500fps. Might be pretty deadly on small stuff.

Shipping the Ammo....I bought a few bricks when I visited the East Coast. How can I get it back to the West Coast, and then how can I LEGALLY get it back to the West Coast?

I'm not paying $23 in HazMat to ship 525 rounds of .22 LR. I think Mom stuck a box in my UPS shipped Xmas gift. We will see if it shows up.


Please God, give me some good tags this year....

Ammo doesn't require a hazmat fee. Ship it UPS or Fedex ground.

The only thing I need are CCI quiets. I can't find them anywhere for a reasonable price.

In the interest of full disclosure, bullets and powder are not included.

SM's kind of deal. Usually screwing someone to his favor, but his kind of deal nonetheless.

We were seeing some around here, not a lot but usually a few boxes. More of the match than the cheaper stuff. Was at Cabelas today and none to be found.

Dink, I bought some Quiets some where in my travels last year they are the segmented ones.. I think I got them in Pa.

We came though central Wy. last week one store had lots of .22 ammo, but mostly the high priced match ammo.. Like $70/brick..

Yesterday I was down town at our little sporting goods store and they had CCI MINI MAG HOLLOW POINTS!!!! I couldn't believe it.. They only had a case and the 100 rd packs were $11.95!! I didn't buy any, but at least it is out there, but at almost $60.00/ brick pretty expensive..

30k, LOL you don't want to walk I'm my gun room then, it will make your eyes pop out if you think 30k is extreme. But in all fairNess I had this from many years ago like late 1990's and early 2000. Been buying cheap stuff for the youth shooting club I run. Have 508 boxes Federal Auto match for the club but I'm not sure if we are going to use it now with some squib loads we been getting. Bass Pro in Harrisburg had Federal Auto match yesterday for $19.99 a box and had alot of it with a 2 box limit per day

Thanks, I might look them up. After this latest debacle, I am now going to be stocking up more than I have in the past.


This will get things started again.

I have finally seen some 22 LR here in central and eastern Oregon (some Rem bulk boxes) priced about 2X the pre-crunch amount. Also a couple brands I've never heard of. None of the Win's or American Eagles though that my rifles are fond of, and essentially none in the mom n pop stores yet.

I have about 10K pre-cruch rds on hand and still have a sense of being short. A good day in the spring ground squirrel fields can consume 500rds, and I do things in single shot mode.

Historically, I've done 10 to 12,000 rds each spring, but not any more. Also, took the guns out of the safe and put that ammo in there.

There is no haz mat on ammo. If I die tomorrow there won't be a shortage of 22's in PA, my wife don't know what it's worth and will give it away.

I officially declare the 22lr shortage over in Northern Ohio.
There was more rimfire ammo on the shelves at the shops I visited this morning than I have seen in a couple years.

Full shelves and stacks on the floor of CCI SV, mini-mag, Velocitor, Stinger, etc...
American Eagle, Winchester, Federal bulk packs
Good selection of higher end stuff as well.

Two shelves full of Remington 1400 round buckets $70.77 at Walmart.

I saw some .22lr CCI Stingers at a local Walmart this afternoon. They also had some .22 shorts. Was thinking the early morning crew of hoarders/gougers must be getting a little picky.

Scheels in billings generally has 100 rd packs and quite often 325 round boxes too
Rarely don't have any in stock.
The same can't be said for 22mag
