How much .22LR do you own?

I saw buckets of bullets and the bricks of bullets at walmart this week. They are not hard to find and at a decent price.

we shot 15,000 rounds in 2014 and that was scaling it back. I'd like to have more than 1 year's worth of shooting on hand for situations like many people find themselves in today

the exact situation that the poster who asked you that question is in

I have probably 100 because I actually shoot my guns. Thanks for hoarding and driving up the prices dickbag

Probably ~430. Bought a 500 round brick a while back. I just don't go through that much to warrant buying 10,000 rounds. I mean, you avg just under 30 rounds a day for a year.

People can't find .22 ammo because people like you hoard 10's of thousands of rounds. For what reason?

I have approximately 25K rounds. And your statement is BS. I've been buying this stuff slowly since the late 90s. I haven't bought more than a brick in over 3 years, well before Newtown / Sandy Hook happened.

Don't hate on people who saw what was coming and decided to lay in a decent supply while the price was cheap. I'm not a neckbearder, my supply is to ensure I have enough ammo for my own use.

No the statement is not BS. The shortage of .22 rimfire ammo is completely on the shoulders of the consumers. The rimfire manufactures are producing everything that they can. As soon as the ammo hits a shelf the consumers buy it up. Some of the consumers are buying it to resell, some are buying it to add to their 30k round count at the house and some are buying it because they want to go shoot. If no one bought a single round of .22 for a month the shelves will fill up again and the prices might go back to a few years ago. As long as the ammo is bought up the second it hits the shelf we will have this problem. There is not enough .22 ammo manufactured everyday to supply 100-500 rounds to a third of the gun owners in this country.

How about instead of buying up 20k-30k of rimfire ammo "incase the gov't takes away the ammo". You put a few bucks towards the NRA or some other gun rights organization. If it gets to the point where the gov't makes rimfire ammo illegal for some god forsaken reason it is already to late my friend. We have lost.

10,000 or so
