re: How much .22LR do you own?

So by your logic, if I drive 25,000 miles in a year (half service life), I should just buy new tires then and keep them for two years down the line?

What are you going to do if there's a rubber shortage when you need tires next time?
Complain about some guy who went ahead and put a set of tires back when they were available?
Some of you guys are acting like 30k of .22's is some kind of massive stockpile. I've given away over 1000 rounds of .22 to family over the last year and even a box or two of 9mm to friends. And no, I don't have anywhere near 30k of .22 but would never tell a fellow hunter/shooter that it was unnecessary to have that many. Its none of my damn business.

I've got more 308 rounds "hoarded" than some of the numbers posted for .22's in this thread.
Edit....I had all those 308's until my boat accident.

The point I'm trying to make is not that they don't need 30k rounds of .22LR. Its that they want to stockpile the ammo "incase the supply dries up" when they are contributing to the supply drying up by buying it all up as soon as it hits the shelves.
The problem is a matter of supply and demand. What has changed since 5 years ago? (when you could walk into a Wal-Mart and pick up 2 boxes of federal 550 .22 for $40 and go shoot all day?
) The supply has probably actually increased. The ammo manufactures are running at full capacity, some even 24/7. So the demand has gone up. The scare buying after Sandy Hook ate up all the stock that store and manufacturers had, and now they can't catch up. That's why I said if everyone just didn't buy a single .22LR round for a month the shelves would fill up again. Also, the prices might also go back down as well.
and 30k rounds of .22LR is a shite ton. That's 30 straight weekends (8 months) of shooting 1000 rds every weekend.

The whole point of the argument is that these hoarders are driving up prices and keeping them up by soaking up all of the supply. Basic economics. Then, they bitch about supply when the same tards sit there with 32k rounds at their house and wonder why it is hard to get them

With respect, a person with 32k rounds has already got them.

WTF does that have to do with anything?
You guys bitching about it are barking up the wrong tree.
This so-called shortage is caused by the neckbeards who hang around WalMart and Academy all day long and buy it up to resell it. Those guys and the stock boys at those stores who enable them (and the managers who don't put a stop to it) are the problem.
Like I said before, most of my .22 ammo was bought in the late 90's, I jumped on a couple of good deals on .22 by the case. In the intervening years I've bought a brick or bulk pack here and there. This was back when you could get a 550 round bulk pack for $10.88 at the local Wally. I'm not one of those vultures who buys everything up the minute it gets to the store and then resells it.
And if you're jealous about it, well, sorry I was smarter than you.

No one is jealous that you bought some .22 ammo in the 90's and still haven't shot it 15 years later

I understand completely. You didn't jump on it when it was cheap and now that some people are manipulating the market, you want to throw everyone under the bus who figured out that the cheap prices wouldn't last forever.
Sorry.....not.
