.22 shells

okay... who's the wise guy buying up all the .22 shells? stopped in at my local hunting store, as i was low on shells, and all he had was low velocity winchesters... he said thats all he could get in, that everywhere was out... i was like ya right... im still waiting on the rifle he ordered me 10 years ago LOL so i logged on to cabelas, and they are all on backorder... uh oh... went to crappy tire, and all they had was low velocity remingtons... i settled on them, as remingtons do better in my .22 than winchesters, but where the heck are all the .22 shells????? ISIS buying them up? LOL

There's been a shortage in the US for awhile, and have seen reports on here of folks seeing similar in Canada.

everyone is hoarding them

There's a shortage as manufacturers cannot keep up with the demand. No end in sight either. :(

I find this to be quite weird as well... and it's been the case for a few months already!? :whacked:

My .22 is used for plinking only and I have a few hundred rounds at home.
Good thing, mine is a single shot so I can't use up the ammo too fast. ;)

There's a guy.near.me that always has 22 In stock.. My secret.

My local Walmart had about 10 boxes of Winchester 333's last I saw. Maybe I should buy them up.

I stocked up on standard velocity stuff, but a brick is what I consider stocking up.

There is very little ammunition of any kind around in a lot of stores.

I think the American's believe the world is coming to an end again.

Not so much the world itself, more their gun culture / world as they know it.

The hoarding started after Sandy Hook, when the Administration started looking at "tougher laws"

Panic spread, and shelves emptied
