Yea? Try finding ANY hunting rifle caliber. From 22LR on up it is unavailable except at a hugely inflated price. Even black powder components are hard to get.
I loaded up on 22 long rifle during the last dip between Democrat caused crisises. Outside of an occasional trip to the range with the 9 mm handgun to stay fresh with it, I’m doing my rifle target practice with the 22. I’d like to shoot the bigger guns, but I just can’t bear cost of the ammo I have to buy to replace what I have. Realistically, as they teach us in the Appleseed Project, you can do a lot of useful practice for any caliber rifle using a 22. The same fundamentals apply.
Since I had plenty of 22 ammo I thought I would pick up a 22 handgun and do some of my practice with that. Well, when I looked at the prices I said nevermind.
