I heard .22lr was running low in a few places and is getting expensive online. Any legislatures out there trying to ban plinking? Fricken people.

Gotta stock up for the zombie apocalypse, doncha know?

Didn't you see the Red Jacket episode with the Zombie Guns competition? The 22LR rifle won, didn't it? Need to have plenty of that cheap, portable 22LR to defend yer loved ones against all those zombies!

Or... as an ex-military friend of mine said when a buddy of our was thinking of buying a 10/22 "just to be prepared..."

"Are you thinking the same thing I am? Why bother?"

 

22 Long rifle and 762x 54r are the two calibers I'm all stocked up on

On sat I went to 3 shops looking for .22 only young guns had. Price was fair $18 for federal target box

It's a conspiracy with ammo. If hand loaders can pump out hundreds an hour can't the manufacturers pump out even more? It's called maintain production and let demand drive up the price.

Prices going up all the way through the chain. Like anything else the consumer takes the biggest hit. Lol

When we were in vegas last week it was $8 a box of 50 or $80 a brick. At the gun stores.

It's not that ammo is getting expensive .... It's our money becoming worthless

If you truly believe this then spend all your money now!

Same, except 5.56 instead of 7.62

Once I get more money I may have to horde some .22 ammo

Im thinking of shooting more 22 just because the price and availability of everything else.

I have a stash of 22

...only because my 15-22 is so picky with ammo I end up not being able to use it.

Pretty sure these two posts from bruddahs Bigkahuna808 & GreenStomper explain what is going on on the Mainland... on a bigger scale.

Get plenty people who love to shoot .22lr.  They're gonna want to stockpile their preferred .22lr ammo.

Get plenty people who shoot larger calibers, but because availability of larger caliber ammo is drying up or getting too expensive, they're temporarily shelving their bigger caliber gear and turning to .22lr as an alternative.

I picked up a brick of Minimags from YG last last week (mahalos fir the heads-up, bruddah Kaiks!).  Went back this past weekend for another brick, but no mo'!!

Good luck, bruddahs!!

A brick? That will only last me half a day at the silhouette range!!! 

.22LR was pretty skosh in just about all the shops visited in Phoenix & Tucson a couple/three weeks back.   The LGS here in East Oahu had a pretty good selection of .22LR today, as well as a fresh shipment of M&P15-22's.   I'm toying with the idea of picking up another .22... Thos 15-22's look quite cool

I started a thread a while back about picking up .22lr ammo (here: http://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=5728.0)

YG or SEC seemed to be the best place to pick up bricks of bulk ammo ($27 and $26, respectively).  So far my Ruger 22/45 will eat anything I've thrown at it, last weekend I went through half a 500 box in one outing by myself.  A ton of fun and really guilt free.

Yeah ive banged out a brick of mini mags when I first got my mkii comp gov.  Then usually bum another hundy off my range buddies.  Now when I go I usualy shoot a small federal target box.  Cheap outing.  Price of 20 rnds of .30-.30 I can shoot 325 rnds..I love it

*cough* Windward Gun Shop?? *cough*

LOL... Yes, WGS
