CCI is made in this town. 22LR is available here most days. It is usually not CCI brand. Go figure.

That's obviously because you live in a seaport, where most stuff is imported from exotic places like Lonoke, Arkansas.

I went to three gun shops in town here and all three were well stocked with all sorts of 22LR. No Limits on their purchase either...
No problem finding ammo here...

We visited a couple good spots for ammo (.22).. The one place had lead CCI 49.00 / 500.. Last fall they had a bunch of Rem. at just a bit higher than normal prices.. My step son did buy some 333's for 17.99, but had to buy a .22 rifle first... Lots of all centerfire ammo...

Reading these posts, it seems like states along the mainland edges have better supplies compared to the upper midwest. I rarely see it in MN and anything sitting there is a lucky find our gougers out there. I remember seeing a bunch of remington subsonic at $15 at a walmart and a guy bought all he could and then went on to 9mm ammo. I could tell he was buying to resell because he had minimal shooting knowledge by the stupid questions he asked.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

where most stuff is imported from exotic places like Lonoke, Arkansas. When the have any at all, Federal and Winchester is what you see in Lonoke, Arkansas. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Right now the thing to do is be patient, I am seeing very little .22 mag. or long rifle appearing on the shelves, usually in small amounts and expensive. I have seen some of the top of the line Eley at $20.00 a box on the internet, which is normal retail for this Olympic grade ammo.
I have sold 2 of my .22 rimfire guns and have put an emphasis on my pellet guns, have always been an air gun and black powder enthusiast anyways. Had thought about selling my CZ-452 that I have had since 2001, but it is too nice a gun to unload. The hoarders who are trying to get a quick profit by jacking up the price are primarily the issue now, but if we stay patient and not buy from them this should help. What ammo you have in stock I would use very sparingly, I keep it to 25-30 rounds for my .22 RF guns per trip to the range, and use my other center fire and airguns most of the time.
Another change that might happen is with the 2008 shortage, and this new one going into the second year other manufacturers might realize that expensive investment into tooling to make this caliber would be a safe and lucrative business investment. How about Ford Motor Company making .22 ammo? They have made other products like aircraft, etc. before. We are clearly in a long term need mode and with more makers, more ammo.

If FoMoCo commenced to making 22 ammo, it would likely supplant Remington as the absolute most useless brand on the shelves. Assumin' any actually ever got to a shelf somewhere?
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Not likely there will be any new companies bringing any 22LR ammo to market within the next 3-5 years. Reason is EPA and environmental impact approval and necessary governmental (federal, state and local) production licenses being granted. There are no license applications in process.

MissouriEd...good point, it takes time to plan, build and get up to speed a large manufacturing facility. I wonder if it can be done faster by a smaller company, like some of the gun makers, LaRue, Cooper, and Kimber when it was in Oregon?
How about a 2-3 man operation? It could be done on a farm away from the city with all it's restrictive codes

I'm thinking by the time you got all your paper work and permits done and approved the gold rush would be over.

Much too cost prohibitive for 2-3 man operation. Will take years to get all the equipment and logistics in place for raw supplies and for distribution. Reverse law of diminishing returns. All of the current manufacturers of ammo are producing it on surplus govt equipment and facilities. Im thinking the shortage will be over the day the demo nuts are out of office.

No problem finding ammo here... NOT in my part of our state...at least for reasonable prices.

One LGS had Remington 500 round bricks for $89.90 each. I remembered why I don't buy stuff there.

Low and behold I found a 225 pack of 22lr Rem Golden Bullets at Walmart! Just one and I took it. I think it was $11.37? Anyway out the door for less than $12. Not a huge score to be sure but at least I can take the kids out plinking for a bit.
