The "problem" is the sensationalism surrounding .22lr ammo that leads people to rush to buy out stores every time they stock up. Until that sensationalism goes away, it's still going to be a pain in the arse for the rest of us to actually get ammo.

I saw a guy on bs the other day talking about how he had stocked 70k .22lr rounds and he couldn't wait to get more. THAT is the problem. Posting on message boards contributes to the problem.

Meh, posting here alerts our good members to where they can get ammo they otherwise might not find because of the problem.

To each his own. I'm just sick of the sensationalism.

My original post was pretty dick. Sorry for that. One of those days I guess.

Nonetheless I wish all this shite would just go away so I could go to the store and buy .22lr whenever I feel like it.

Wants to buy .22, takes thread with useful information about how when and where to do that and complains about someone offering him the info.

Makes sense to me...

No, I want to be able to go to a store and buy .22lr whenever I feel the need to. I don't want it to be something worthy of a news headline every time it comes in stock somewhere. I don't need 40k .22lrs. That's all.

If you can't understand that, you either bought your first gun a year ago, or you've been living under a rock since Sandy Hook.

Want to know why I didn't need to buy any ammo? Because I learned long ago to buy it cheap and stack it deep. When the ammo I need comes back in stock and prices drop I plan accordingly... When you have hobbies that can cause all ammo to be out of stock for 6 months you need to understand the 7Ps in life...

Unfortunately that's the current climate and will continue to be for the near future. Someone posted something here awhile back that I'll paraphrase now "The luxury of having a retailer be your ammo repository is over (at least for the time being). Because of this, each individual is now responsible for his own inventory". Also, I now have a .22 conversion kit that won't run the one brand that I have the majority of in my stash. I'm out looking with everyone else these days. Had a friend notify me this morning that a local Wal-Mart had 20 bricks. I called 50 minutes later and they had been gone for 20 minutes.

Exactly, I wish I would have bought 50 cases of Remington Nitro Steel in 1995 when it was $110/case.

I didn't. As far as .22 and .223 I was smart enough to be overly paranoid the first time Obama got elected. Look at me now, enjoying the spoils... living the good life. And yes, everytime I come across more .22, I buy it. You have to if you plan on getting high on your own supply.
