Title: Where is all the .22 Magnum ammunition?
Post by: Eric M on December 06, 2016, 05:53:36 PM: So I can find it when I really look, but Cabela's hasn't had it in months (according to one of their reps). There was only one 50 round box of it at Sportsmen's last time I was there. So now I can find all the 22 LR I want but have to make 3 or 4 stops to find (overpriced) 22 Mag? A lot of the online places are out of stock or charging a lot more for it. Any ideas or conspiracy theories?

It was gone by Monday when I stopped by.

It's not as bad as the 22LR was a while back but it isn't super easy to find everywhere. And the price has been going up on them quickly. 15.00 for the same box I paid 12.00 for last spring.

Its been put on the back burner at the plants, 17hmr ammo is what they want sold in stores now days!

No other explanation that I can see!! 17hmr's have never been in short supply ever since the hoarding started YET 22 mag disappeared. :dunno:

But it's available (averages $18.75 a box plus tax !!!!). I pity anyone who owns the Keltec PMR-30!
