I stopped by my local Gander Mountain today to pick up some cleaning equipment and they had Federal Value Packs 525's in stock. This was around 1:30 p.m. I was suprised to see they had any left since it was in their flyer for today, and it was late in the day. I would say they still had at least 40 on the shelf behind the counter when I left. Since my wife was with me I went home with two. The first time I actually walked out of a store with ammo rather then buying online.

I think there are a few things still going on.

You got the neck beards still waiting in line to buy what they can daily.

I'm Pretty sure Ammo MFG only pump out 22 a few times a year so they are in between cycles.

Also there is some rumor that distributors are holding onto most of the 22 and only getting some to the resellers "outside of whats stated in contract" and will see a 5 to 10 dollar increase per brick once contracts are re-negotiated..

Few times a year?!?! CCI alone produces over 4 MILLION rounds of .22 EVERY DAY!

You have to be kidding...the 'cycle' is 24/7, 365 days a year.
