Thread: Rimfire Ammo Shortage...

Yes, they get them at Wal Mart & Bass Pro, as the truck pulls up, sending family members in for the box limit; purchase for $21.95 & sell them at the gun shows.

What Jim said,all the ammo you want is at the gun shows,go back at the last hr of the last day,that stuff is a PITA to haul around,can get some deep discounts.

Under Bush's term I was buying the Federal 550 packs for $13.00 a box, so I stocked up on them (but not enough), now I can't even find the 550 packs or any kind of bulk for that matter...

The last price I had on the 550's was $18.00-$22.00...

I do have quite a bit of .22lr special ammo, CCI Stingers, CB's, Quick Shock... I even have some .22lr from 1972

.223, .12 ga & .9mm should be good too

Anyway... IOWA is bare too of .22lr...

Why would anyone need a 30 rnd mag?? for shooting Cans?

less reloading on the range , range rates by the hour it could add up ...lol

a lot of the .22's are gone by me also , i only looked today cause of this thread .. a buddy of mine told my uncle today a police department just ordered 20,000 rounds and the vendor they use said it will be like this for a few months .. i dont know all the sources of this info to the people that have told me but with this thread it appears a lot of it is true ..

Simple, because you can't get 30 rounds into a 10 round magazine.
They won't fit,, I tried it.

Don't derail this thread, Gooser !

I guess that by shooting a single shot .22lr, 10,000 rounds would last quite awhile... Better bring home food with one round at a time... I can't afford the grocery store either...
