So I called over 20 local stores today, all of them are out of .22lr!!!

[apme123]

Wow this is getting kind of crazy. I called a 3 Wall-marts, over 15 Bi-Marts and a couple of dicks sporting goods and big5's. Every single one of them was sold out of .22lr ammo. I can only imagine that in a not too distant future a 525 box of CCI Blazers in 22lr will cost $50 bucks or more. God help us!!

[OREGON FALER]

wow I shouldn't have sold my 3 boxes of remington golden bullets!!! 1575 rounds I don't have anymore :complain:

I went to buy some 9mm at one of the bi-marts on western. There was a lady hoarding all of the 9mm, 40, and 38 special. I freaking got 1 50 round box for crying out loud. I get the feeling my cheap shooting days are over!

Fred Meyer in Scappoose has several boxes of 500 .22lr from federal when I was there a few days ago as well as a good amount of other ammo. Who knows, may be all gone now. They even had one 30 round pmag. They still have most of their handguns as well. The AR's are gone of course since they pulled them off the shelf

I never knew that Fred Meyer carried ammo, I'll have to stop by my local one and see if they carry it.

Anyone know of any available 223/556 (I know its a long shot) in the area?

 

[Widerstand]

Yeah tell me about it! I want to go plinking but I don't want to burn up the .22 I have if I can get more.

 

[knuckle Head]

I hear ya, it is the same as last time there was a rush on ammo, 22lr goes fast because it is cheap and is a multi-purpose round.

A trick I used at the time was to make an agreement with family memeber who were looking as well, to check when we were at the stores and see they had any, if they did we would call the others in the family and pick some up for them as well as ourselves, at that time a lot of stores only allowed 2 boxes per customer so it was a pain in the keister, to get any amount of ammo

Was just in the Fred Meyer on Imbrie in Hillsboro and the clerk at the gun counter informed another customer there that all AR-15's were on backorder, and that the customer could order one if he wanted. Did not hear a price, though...

[mjbskwim]

Somebody say there's an ammo shortage?
No,that's just bricks of 22lr

 

[davef]

Hope it doesnt get so bad we have to start reloading 22.

 

[skydiver]

I must have missed something. Why is 22 ammo in such demand?

 

[ruger45blackhawk]

What no one told you???

 

[Trailboss]

I must have missed something. Why is 22 ammo in such demand?

It appears that for all the other calibers that are hard to find, shooters are switching to .22 because it's available and cheap. Or at least it was...
