I'd like to go find an empty patch of desert this Sunday and make some loud noises. I don't have any rounds though, where's my best chance of picking up a box or two of .22?
Is the ammo grab over yet?

Good luck... As far as I can tell, the ammo grab is still in full swing for .22lr. Many other previously hard-to-find calibers are now available, but .22 is still hard to find.

Whoof! Maybe I'll go throw some rocks instead.

What is up with the .22 grab?
I can see the usual pistol and ar rounds but 22 rim fire?

I think that's related to the cost of everything else. When the other ammo is going for $.50 to $1 a round (or more) the 22 looks really attractive. Even if it's not what you would like to be shooting, you're at least shooting.

.22 is the most used ammo there is. More people own more .22s than any other chambering, by a huge margin. It would also be very high on my list, like at the top, if I had to choose one gun to keep. I can kill anything in North America with one. Quietly, cheaply. Best chance for finding ammo while scavenging or looting the bodies of the people you've just killed etc. too.

P.S... The last time I bought .22 ammo, I paid $6 each for 550 packs. That was many years ago. I still have enough left that I'll never run out. I shoot quite a bit more than most folks do, too...

We'll likely never get to find out, but I'd be willing to bet every cent I have that I could kill either one.

I didn't get my 9mm until after the ammo craze, but down here in UT county it's pretty easy to find a box of Blazer Brass - 50 rounds for $14.99 - not sure how that compares to the good 'ol days...

Naw... I'm all in slicked off summer mode now

The gun stores like Impact and Get Some are totally gouging. 22 does show up occasionally at Cal Ranch, Sportsmans etc and online like Midway and it is still priced what it was last Summer/Fall like 19.99 - 22.00 a brick of 550. For 50 - 75 a box I will shoot a pellet gun instead since it is just as fun.

I really don't know how shooting clubs are still putting on monthly shoots. My dads club, Hobble Creek Wranglers just had their annual shoot and had a really good turn out. I am afraid to shoot what I have and I have a lot more ammo than most and I know a guy with more money in ammo than his house is worth. I am starting to divert funds from my 401K and am investing in my 401A. Ammo and components bought now will be much cheaper than in the future and if the SHTF it will be good bartering for anything else you need.
