There's lots of .22 LR available, but no shipping to Hawaii unless you find a freight forwarder and order a bunch. Some may still be a bit on the expensive side, but it's out there if you know where to look. I just received two bricks of GECO semi-auto .22 LR from Ammo 2 U LLC. However, I just moved to WA and shipping ammo to me here is no problem.

Most ammo shortages are self fulfilling prophecies.

Someone starts a rumor that there is going to be an ammo shortage, whether it be the .gov buying it all up, or some other conspiracy.  This rumor starts to spread. 

All of a sudden, the crazy panic buys starts.  The hoarders hoard. And even the casual, non-conspiracy believing shooters decide to pick up an extra box or two more than they normally would just in case.

All of a sudden... the shortage is real.
