Only 400 ( 6800 rnds ) ?? Slacker !!

I checked my inventory log (numbers were not verified via physical, manual inventory, however)

I was incorrect, I have ammo for 543.82352941176.... firearms.

I hope that gets me outta the slacker category.

I am heading to the ammo store in a bit, hopefully there will be some.

Update.... No mo ammo :-(

Good luck in your quest.

I ordered a case back in Dec 6. I have received three back-order emails. The last one, today says 2/25/13.

Terrible online retailer.

I just found a source that says (circa 2009) that there are approximately 2.5 billion .22LR rounds manufactured per year.

Ruger is said to have built 5 million 10/22 rifles over the years. Now I realize that not all of them are still being used today and I realize that there are millions of other brands of .22 firearms out there, too.

2.5B divided by 5M users equals one box of 500 rounds per user.

I beleiver there are tens of millions of .22LR firearms out there and that's why there is a shortage. If you see some somewhere, grab it.

The shortage ain't going away in just a few months...

I guess I'll be getting that email

Bullets are sold out everywhere. I back ordered some from Cabela's that are supposed to take a couple of weeks, but I'm anticipating an email that says "Sorry......"

I ordered their Federal special which was 4 boxes of bulk and get free ammo box back on December 05. Plus another box to get over $95 and get free shipping. Received 4 boxes 2 weeks later. Then late December received the ammo box. Last box of ammo due end of January. Then I received the same email for end of Feb for the rest. Not worried about it. I got in on the 5000 round bulk CCI purchase deal 3 weeks ago so I will start using that, hopefully tomorrow if the weather holds.

I did the same thing on December 14th and ordered 3 ammo cans (6300 rounds) which said 1-2 weeks backorder. I finally got it all in last week! I'm good for a while.

I disagree, Cabela's is a top notch retailer. They don't make the bullets/mags, just sell them. They took backorders and will fill them as fast as they get them. Since they are not allowing backorders anymore, that should tell you something about our supply... There isn't one...
