There are waiting and contact lists for mail order ammo distributors..
When it comes in stock, they send an E/mail.. Act fast..

LOL, yeah, most people with the experience and discernment, who
decide to own and shoot a .222, often reload their own ammo..

yeah there is none up my way either, and if you DO HAPPEN to find it, its ridiculously expensive.  was talking to a guy at a sporting goods store a bit back and there gunsmith stopped by a couple shops on his way back from up north and he only found a single brick which was $100.  as soon as it hits the shelves its gone here

I use to reload my shotgun AA hulls back when I shot trap all the time , Had too . We shot around 400 rounds a weekend ever weekend and I still have about 10 cases of 12 gauge shells but my brick of 22 ammo is about gone but I have had it around 5 years .
I was going to buy a AR-15 in a 22 cal but can't get ammo for it so I guess I will have to by it in a 222 cal . I did not really want a 222 for I have a 223 that I love but I shoot my 270 the most that no one has ammo ether .

I looked online and Basspro shop suppose to have 22 ammo in Memphis . I well call them today and find out . Thats if there open .

 who would ever think the lil 22 would scarce  :(   I can remember when box of 50 was .99 cents on sale  :x

 i was at a pawn shop last month and they had 50 in a Ziploc bag for $14.00  :mad:  these are the idiots who are getting them in bulk and raping the public.

cobia38 , you are right . When I went to sportsman warehouse yesterday they told me they had a one brick limit on ammo there now . That's a good thing . I think I paid like 10 bucks for my last brick of 22 ammo .

EDIT: Is there a place online one can order ammo from ?

In some instances .45 ACP is hard to obtain also.

Seriously - what's going on in the States?  Used to, you could go to any Walmart and find your brand; whether it be Remington, Winchester, CCI, etc..

It's been a long time since I had the need to buy ammo..
