Everyone I called said they had been having trouble for years getting any in. I bought a box of 500 a few weeks or so ago when I randomly called to inquire and the store finally had it available. I've really no idea how I can ever possibly fire that many rounds, but what the heck. Lol, yes, democrat presidents are good for the gun and ammo industry. Since Obama was elected guns have been flying off the shelves. Ammo became very difficult to get. I learned that truism in the early 90's. Now I keep 6,000 to 8,000 rounds of .22 on my shelf. Generally, if I get down to less than 6,000 rounds I start to buy a 500 box every time I go to the gun store until I'm stocked back up. That way when ammo gets scarce I can get by for a while. It was frustrating for a a couple of years but the manufacturers are finally catching up. Actually, .22 ammo was available, it just went up in price from something like six cents a round to eighteen cents or more a round. I didn't buy any for a few years. I'm stocked back up again now though. Fortunately, most of what I shoot other than .22 I make myself. Components tend to be easier to obtain. Although gunpowder went up about 20% too.
