Bunch of .22 Long Rifle bricks in a local store again yesterday. I'm friends with them but didn't steal it, or even buy any.

bought some (3box limit) at Academy sports last month...first I have seen on a retail shelf in 2 yrs.
Luckily, I had a good supply bought up prior to the crunch.

I saw those bricks in a local gun store, and bought one! And it was a brick of 1000, too.

Bunch of .22 Long Rifle bricks in a local store again yesterday. I'm friends with them but didn't steal it, or even buy any. That's where I'm at John. I know there are a lot of guys around here with kids that want to shoot their 22lr's and have had a hard time finding ammo. I've donated a brick of 22 target ammo to the local club, gave away countless bricks to friends with kids and even gave one of my friends a brick to sell at his yard sale. He recently had back surgery and was selling a lot of his stuff to pay for it. He did sell the brick for $50.00 at his yardsale, but I think people felt sorry for him and his condition right now. We will see more 22 lr on the shelves. I am glad to say I've never paid scalpers prices and I never will. The hoarders probably have enough ammo that it's coming out of their ears by now and more and more people are unwilling to pay high gunshow and scalper prices, so the scalpers will eventually drop their prices as soon as the shelves start to fill. That or they can choke on it...

Although the rimfire ammo shortage seems to be abating, the tinfoil shortage seems to be holding.
Shooters created this shortage by allowing themselves to panic like a bunch of sheep. This has been a self inflicted and completely avoidable situation. I agree with you. It was a domino effect. Supply and demand with panic thrown in. Scalpers taking advantage, hoarders buying everything they could get their hands on. It's wise to keep a minimum of 10 bricks on hand in any case, so if this happens again we will be more prepared. I had plenty on hand before the supply went south, but I know many people that didn't...

With the success at the polls, I would expect that the shelves will soon be creaking under the load of .22 ammunition (and the price of gas will drop precipitously).
