Hey, guys, I just ran into a gunshop with a limit of one brick per customer/wk. They had Rem. Thunderbolts and Golden 22 hollow points for $24/525 rds.. Some have had trouble with this ammo, I have had NONE.. Winchester was the junk I had to deal with.. At least in some areas, 22 ammo is back..
I can check on powder.. But deer season is due to open so I am not sure what would be available.. Hopefully will check tomorrow..Then the next deal will be to get back to the internet..

Sounds like Swifty can help us out.
Travis LGS on thur had some AA 5 which I needed also 9 so a pound of each. RL 15, 17, 19 , 22, and 25 they had 8's in 15 and 22, the rest were 1's along w/15 and 22. 1's and 8's H- 322, 335, cfe 223, 4895, 4831sc, 4350 and a smattering of others in 1's. No Varget. The IMR line up was full but just 1's. Ramshot and AA are still hit and miss. Primers are available except Federal. Brass is available in 223, 22.250, and 243 after that it's hit and miss. Some shows and it's gone. The last few months I have been able to find anything I have needed except Swift brass at pre panic prices, you just gotta look. They don't make 8's of 15 or 22. Travis

Cool, I will take a pic of the 8 lb keg of 22 I bought last month when I get home. Price was 168.00 = 21.00 a lb

Serious request, please mic the driving band on the Rem stuff and tell me what you get. I had problems with the Golden Bullets and Thunderbolts but I'm not sure how old the rounds were. But spot checking in a 500rnd box of Gold(I think it's 500) and several 50 round boxes of Thunderbolt I was getting diameters mostly from 0.225 to 0.228. Some were 0.223 to 0.224 but I would guess not more than 20% or so. Work fine in revolver or bolt gun but turned Ruger Mark and M&P 22 pistol into Jamamatics. Curious if the new production is oversize as well. Thanks

I travel a lot throughout MN. I've been seeing some CCI .22's of different varieties. Not lots, but a little here and there.
One place a month ago had a few pallets of Remingtons Bucket of Bullets (90.00 bucks a tub). Last week, they didn't have any left.
They had a handful of Federal Bricks 40.00 bucks a brick I recall? Also had some CCI Standard Velocity for 40.00 a brick.
Been seeing more powder, not tons but shelves are starting to fill back up at least.

shootem,
I've had exactly the same problem with Remington .22 Long Rifle ammo in more than one auto, in both handguns and rifles. Generally I only keep enough Remington on hand for testing a new firearm, so the test will show every possible brand. But I'm curious about the new production as well.

Travis If you want a picture of an 8 pounder that bad, let me see if I can just get a pic of the left one.

Extremely limited supply of 22LR available around here at normal retail locations. I know of one gun store that's had a supply for a couple of months: Remington Thunderbolts for $60 a brick and Win 325 bulk packs for $40. I'm not buying at those prices! And that's probably why they're the only place to have some on the shelf..

Thankfully we can grow our own food. Thats a big plus over and beyond making 22 rimfire ammo.
But its a reminder might should stock the freezer with a bit of spare seeds of all kinds too. If your freezer is self defrosting it is not a good place to store seeds.

You guys who blow away thousands of rounds each weekend only began to do so as the ammo shortage crisis began? If no, why should your average use have any relation to the current shortage? IMO you are irrelevant to the current problem or solution.

I have wondered how many people have gotten out of the sport due to the shortage? I could see someone pre-freak out, who just got into the sport and now that they can't get out and shoot their .22 or teach their kid to shoot just gave up and moved on to something else they can actually do on a regular basis.
