No doubt 1 or 2 percent of the problem can be attributed to those trying to stock up DURING the shortage, but that cannot begin to account for this long of a dry spell in a nation with free markets.

No something else on a massive national level is behind the shortage of .22LR ammo bricks.
The above is partly why im now going to concentrate on buying only 45--well that and cuz I picked up my 45 2 weeks ago.

People can now cross me off the 22 buying list and thus making it slightly easier for others to get what could have been mine.

Im still buying 9mm, so ill still remain a thorn in the hoarders side.
