All .22LR Ammo is gone?

[Themike13]

My favorite .22LR ammo is FEDERAL CHAMPION.
I can usually find the 525 bulk box for $20-$25, but every store is sold out... Even online. They say backordered, anywhere from Feb 2013 to April 2013. I did find it at a couple places, but they wanted $15 or more for shipping.
What in the world is going on?!?!?!?!

There doesn't seem to be any real run on ammo going on right now. Don't know why you're having trouble.

 

[J-FRAME]

Not much .22 ammo here at discount stores.

My LGS has several bricks of Federal Champion 525 Value Pack .22LR on the counter for $19.95

 

[Majorlk]

No shortage here - of Federal or anything else.

I'm noticing a shortage in my part of Texas...

 

[mickeyblueyes]

Dicks said they have not been able to get a shipment of CCI ammo any way shape or form?





Maybe NATO is going .22 long rifle, just look how much each soldier could carry. 5000 rounds.

Dick's where? Dick's here has it.

Talk building of a big "ammo tax" in the range of five cents a bullet. Anyone hear any of this scuttlebutt?

 

[Drunk3n Snip3R]

I have no problem finding federal ammo, then again I live in MN I guess I am blessed

A screwball in Chicago wanted a tax on ammo; she got slapped down.

I usually get it AR Walmart. The get it a couple times a week but you have to get there at 7am as people are waiting to pick it up. I'm down to 4,000 rounds. Don't like getting that low...

There was a run on .223 after the election, and the Christmas shoppers are buying up some of it. I've got to where I mail order all my ammo.

Walmart in Newnan Ga is low all 22 Cal as well.

 

[rkillion]

Wal-Mart here is almost out of .22 as well. I was going to start stocking up, but all they has was two small boxes of winchester. No federal, or cci at all. They said they usually have more than they can keep on the shelves, but the last week it has been going like crazy.

I couldn't find bulk 22lr ANYWHERE in SoCal up until today. I tried 5 Walmarts which are normally loaded with 22... all the bulk was gone, only had the small packs of specialty 22, of course they were fully stocked in centerfire.... I finally found some at Turner's when I went to pick up my 15-22. They had the Fed 525 for $17 so I picked up 2 to last me until my order comes in. All I have to say is ***? I finally get a 22 and there's no ammo. I'm trying to resist my inner hoarder and not exacerbate the problem others are creating by buying crate loads that will take me years to shoot. But after watching a couple people demolish the entire shipment...

Another self induced shortage,it to will pass.

The CCI 1600 rd boxes are gone everywhere I've checked - 4 wal-marts and online.
Cabelas has 1400 rd boxes for about the same price, though.
