Will we ever see 1000 round boxes of 22LR on the shelves again?

I can't even get a box of 22LR in any size.
I remember walking into stores and seeing 22LR piled up like shotgun shell boxes.
What happened?

Kinda defeats the purpose of getting a gun to splurge on ammo with if the ammo has now become precious.

just as soon as people stop buying every box they see because there is a made up shortgage.

Academy in Shreveport had a bunch of 300 round boxes last weekend. I think it is starting to get better.

Check ammoseek.com for .22's. They list the prices and amount per box/case so you can pick out what you want.

Was in Academy on Monday and there were bullets for days. Stacks of .22s. I almost felt like hoarding but I was there to buy soccer cleats for a 4 year old and he throwing an LSU football at everything in the store.

I bought some 3 1/2" buckshot for hogs to take during squirrel season and got out of the aisle.

Academy in Central Alabam has boxes piled 10 high of various brands. But, one can only buy 2 per visit.

Does everyone really shoot 22 that much?

I have two. My father was an ammo freak and he died last year. I inherited thousands of rounds. I just don't shoot it much. I shoot my 17 a bit though.

probably because they are asking .10 per rd. or more...

everything I buy is at between .05 - .06 and I'm north of 28k rds...I still buy because it's nothing for my kids to burn through 700-1k rds. in a session about twice a month...
