B-maniac said: (quoted from post at 19:14:16 01/24/14) what's the real reason why ,in the supposedly greatest country in the world ,that one cannot find/buy a high quality 22 LR round without camping out at the store?? I don't mean the cheap hollow points or low grade lead round nose ( which are also almost impossible to find also) but a high grade copper plated round nose HV like CCI etc. It's not even an issue of price but they just aren't available. I've heard about every story in the book as to why. Usually,in this country, when there is a demand, suppliers step up and fill it. What gives??
B-maniac,
Not just one reason but a lot of people have been hanging out at WM when they know the ammo shipment arrives and buying it all up to put on Gunbroker or other sites to sell at highly inflated prices. Good old American Capitalism at work there. I resent it, because it leaves nothing for the folks that just want to shoot, but making a profit is, after all, the American way.
The other main reason is that the everyday 'Joe' has done without for so long, that when 'Joe' finds some, he buys all he can get also.
The gubbermint was buying bunches of .40 caliber handgun ammo. Not so much with .22s.
The supply is slowly coming back. I am seeing some in stores that have had bare shelves for many months

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
