I bought most of mine from auctions on Gunbroker and/or Auction arms (see ref. link below). IF you are a reloader, there's lots of info. in previous threads on this forum about re-forming other brass (30-30, 25-35?) to .22HP. You should also be looking under "5.6x52R", as that is the European designation for the cartridge. I just searched Grafs and they're OOS too. I did a Yahoo search for "Savage 22 Hi Power" that led me to the other link below (ammo to go), but I never used them, and $55 for a box of Norma seems like a scalpers price IMHO. They have Sellier & Bellot for $20 a box, but I've read less than positive things, so I've never "fed" that brand to my 22HPs. Hopefully, someone else will chime in with a source with current stock. On a side note, I'm regretting not buying all a seller at a recent gun show on Long Island NY (2 weeks ago) had for sale, as he had about 5 or 6 boxes of CIL (Canadian) Sav 22hp ammo for $20 each. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda. Good Luck! -TomT http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=280804149http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/index.php/cName/rifle-ammo-22-savage-hipower

these guys have the S&B but are out of everything else... the S&B is not the best ammo and most ppl have issues getting it to group worth a darn.
Try to find the Norma ammo.

I have been known to buy S&B ammo just to pull the bullets for reloading.

Was just looking at a couple boxes of 303 Savage from Reeds Ammunition. Looks like they just have the S&B, but for a decent price.

Actually I meant that I was just looking at a couple of boxes of 303 Savage from Reeds Ammunition that I have in the safe. Wasn't looking to buy any more.
Seems to shoot fine at the range, in case anybody was wondering.

I'd sell anything that says 22hp, before I even looked for shells. .250 replaced that caliber, better.

My 22HP patterns more like a shotgun using S&B, and have had some failures to fire with what look like good primer strikes.

All along I was assuming it was an 1899. I'm with Drew in having my curiosity piqued now.

the set started life as savage 2400 but morphed into a savage 330 reciever fitting the 12/308 barrels (I liked the "flur-de-lilies"stock on the 330 more than the 2400).One of the 12 O/U barrels is from a valmet "lion" series and it seems like its a mile long BUT its in Full/Full and a tremendous deer gun barrel.the other 12 O/U and the 20 O/U are pure savage 330 and the 12/222 is savage 2400.As for the 22 savage HP I hope it will arrive this week but I'm betting it's pure Valmet.I will keep this reciever and have a 2 reciever set--one with a single selctive trigger and one with dbl.triggers that will work all six barrel sets
