Maybe not bursting yet, but cracking a little. The madness appears to be on the wane over at Gunbroker, sellers still listing at scalper prices, but almost nobody buying, most are "no sale". Hope they choke on it.

I have not seen any 22lr in over a year.

I was able to buy some for the first time tonight locally in 2 years. Its not like I was desperately searching for it, but whenever I'd walk by the ammo counter at various stores I'd look.
Tonight was the first time I've seen it just sitting out, still have guys show up on the morning it arrives but they at least set some back and sell it thru-out the week to people.

A local hardware store had some in stock yesterday but I'm not paying a dime a round.

I paid 6 cents a round for it. I'm good with that.

Once the back orders are filled for Brownells and Midway etc. we will start seeing more in the stores. So long as nothing renews the panic, we are 6-9 months from being able to walk into a reasonable number of store and see .22 lr on the shelves.

I was in Cabelas yesterday and there was hundreds of boxes of 22LR on the shelf and a pallet in the aisle. No panic buying, people walking buy and not buying.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!

Last week the local Gander Mountain was advertising .22LR for $2.29 for a box of 50. Limit five to a customer.

Midway had 22lr for sale in their latest flyer.
Cabela in WV had it on the shelves yesterday, and it wasn't going like it used to, where everyone walking past took the limit. A lot looked and didn't take any. Price was about 5 to 7 cents a round. Talked to the guys in the gun room and they indicated it is getting better, more coming in and lasting longer

I was able to pick up 1. 525 round box of WW HP's Friday at Academy for $22.95
First brick I've bought or seen in over a year.

The panic buying will ramp back up as we near the next election and if we get another demorat expect the shortage to last indefinitely. If you need it get it while you can.

Wally Mart had two boxes of Remington subsonics on the shelf yesterday. Been a long time since I have seen any on the shelf.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

About time the scalpers and hoarders got tired of their game and moved on to something else, hopefully not shooting related. I've had enough, first it was powder and primer prices thru the roof and little or none to be had and for the last few years .22 prices and availability being manipulated by the greedy dogs.

I went to an aptly named "Dick's" store about a month ago, and was able to buy 2 325ct. boxes of Federal Auto Match for $20 apiece, which isn't too awful a price. This stuff wasn't on the shelf, but I asked about something "other than Remington Golden" and he said he had a lot of this stuff in the back room. He also mentioned that he'd had considerable quantities of CCI Mini Mags lately, too. They DID have enough Remington Thunderdolt gift packs to put on the shelf, but I ain't buyin' that crap.

I haven't looked for it much in the last several months.
Didn't have much trouble finding it when I was though. Granted, it wasn't on every shelf, but plenty to be had at reasonable prices.

Hope they choke on it. I hope every last one chokes on it. Scalpers and hoarders alike. They are the reason we haven't seen any on the shelves. Now they are up to their eyeballs in 22lr, slowing down on their tinfoil purchasing and guys like us refuse to pay scalpers prices. I just bought a brick of 22lr today as a matter of fact. It will be on the shelves again, guaranteed..

It's tinfoil hat ideas like this that cause mass hysteria and panic buying. You are probably sitting on over 20,000 rounds of 22lr and still stirring the pot..

Yeah, we all know the shortage is because of all the new shooters

A Big5 close to me had triple 5s for $70! While right across the same parking lot, Walmart had them for $39. Which is still too high
The local shop has them for $27. And has for over a year. Counter dude told me that they've always sold tons of .22 . More than the other shops because of location. When the crunch hit, they were out for a while but had kept paying for them to stay on the back ordered list. When deliveries started again, they ended up with way more than normal. And paid mostly normal prices. So no need to raise the price. Pretty cool.
