When center fire ammo went up the last couple years I started shooting my 22 revolvers, pistols and rifles more than anything. I got the bright idea of building a dedicated 22lr AR last year for the same reason as 5.56mm was getting out of hand too.
Fortunately I stocked up on 22lr then and have a fair supply of it if this shortage doesn't last too long. I was buying in bulk when on sale last year and am glad for it now. Had I known I'd have bought even more.
I agree too most everyone has a 22 and the ammo is cheap which is why it got bought up. I wonder too though why shot shells still seem to be in decent supply as shotguns are popular too.
