Might be a Wal-Mart thing here in Charles Town (then Charles Town is a mini store and usualy doesn't have S*** for anything) and Martinsberg .22 is slim pickens since they last had the CCI 1600 pack. Just went buy both on Friday.

People are hoarding the 22lr because its cheaper than buying up the centerfire. Plus anyone can still put meat on the table with a 22cal.
For the best average mail order prices go to; gun-deals.com - User-Submitted Gun & Ammunition Deals and click on ammo-deals then on 22lr. The average prices on 5,000rds of 22lr was about $199 at ontime. I went with the CCI blazer 22lr ammo mainly because some of the other 22cal ammo has misfires.
I've seen the shoppers at wally world buying up bricks of 22lr as many as they could carry. When they had it in stock.

Chicken Little Strikes Again!
Ammo follows the same principal as gasoline following rumors of a refinery fire - the Chicken Little Principal of "The sky is falling"!!!
Let's everybody panic and buy every round we can get our hands on!

It would be nice if, when you folks say xxx company is out, that you'd say WHERE. Otherwise, the information is pretty much useless.
ALL the 22lr is gone from the shelves at my local WalMarts..I have 6 within a 25 mile radius here in Houston....and when I say ALL, I mean ALL...I made the rounds yesterday to the 6, and the cupboards were bare....NO 22lr ammo available, and when I asked, they said, "When it shows up, we put it on the shelves, but we don't know when it will show up"

Everyone keeps saying WalMart is out - have you folks tried your local gun stores? WM isn't the only ammo retailer in the world.

Yes and the only reason I got some was as I was picking up my 15-22 an employee was putting out some just arrived federal 525 bulk out that was on sale @$17. It didn't last long with people taking 8-10 boxes but I got my 2 boxes at least.
I've also tried:Everyone keeps saying WalMart is out - have you folks tried your local gun stores? WM isn't the only ammo retailer in the world.
1. Academy Sports (All they had was CCI Tacticals, which won't shoot in my 15-22. Their shelves were bare, and they could not tell me when they might get some more)
2. Gander Mountain (no bulk ammo at all)
3. Bass Pro Shops (Again, no bulk)
4. My local LGS (said they could not get any bulk 22lr. from their supplier)
So, it appears that most folks down here are having some trouble getting any of the bulk ammo. I've got 2K rounds, so I don't want to buy the smaller quantity right now, but I would pick up some of the bulk, if I could find any

.22lr in Southwest FL is out as well.
Walmart, Dick's, Bass Pro and 4 LGS all out of anything Federal or CCI. Just placed an online order w/ Palmetto State Armory so hopefully will get that soon.

Don't count on it. I placed an ammo order with PSA 8 days ago and haven't even received an order confirmation.

Bleh. Bleh bleh bleh. LGS mark up ammo so much.. A 100pk of CCI is like $9. At walmart it's just over $7. Wal-mart or no ammo. haha

Soooo ...
No ammo at $7+ is preferable to 100 rounds at $9? I fail to understand that logic.
I guess you don't really like to shoot all that much.

Well.. If I am going to buy CCI, I want to buy in bulk, $2 difference adds up when you're buying 10+ boxes. I usually buy the federal bulk 550 pack from walmart for $19. my two local shops sell it for $25 and $28. I usually buy 5 boxes when I can... That adds up...

Story here - went to my LGS to buy a 15-22. Sales guy got it on the counter I started asking question about it, another guy walks in (note six behind the counter now and a little busy not much) clerk starts talking to him while still in front of me and new guy was at other counter, then walks away. New clerk comes over and starts talking to me about how long it might be to get nother one in, then low and behold another person comes in the store. Last I saw of him. Also note bought my wife a BG .380 (hand problems and only auto she could rack the slide on) and my S&W M&P 15 MOE a few weeks before. Needless to say last purchase there and yes I know all gun shops are not the same but this is the only one close to me about 1/2hr away.

Yea, it adds up, but again, what's better, ammo in hand for a few bucks more or no ammo to shoot at all at the cheaper price?
if you want to shoot, you pay whatever it takes.
That's why, when my LGS runs case-lot sales of Federal or Blazer a couple times a year I but a minimum of two cases - 10.5k. I never let the supply get below 5k.
