Thanks for this info. Can you tell me why .22 rimfire prices remain so high?

Other than it being scarce? Not really. Hoarders maybe who have an inside track and get there before the rest of us? Dealers holding back? Don’t know for sure but who ever thought you’d forgo a day at the range to kinda preserve your stash of 22lr. Like I said about gasoline. Ammo probably won’t ever go back to where it was. Close maybe. Even buying components to load your own is expensive and hard to find in some places.

Hoarding, price gouging, and high demand.

I'll buy some more .22LR when it comes down to $40.00 a brick.

Demand outstripping supply...consider an AK-74. It’s 5.45x39, and cheaper than .22lr.
