Screen Shot 2014-03-08 at 1.59.29 PMHello, This letter is for you Mr. and Mrs. American looking to buy .22LR ammunition. Finally, it’s also for you Mrs ammo reseller who makes daily trips to all of your area Wal Marts and sporting goods stores looking for 22LR at retail price. You get home and put it immediately for sale on Gunbroker, Armslist or at your local gun show at a 200-300% markup. As I’m sure most people reading this already know, 22LR ammunition is harder to find at retail price than virgin unicorn blood right now. The popular marksmanship program, Appleseed, even has a revised course of fire now that requires fewer rounds of ammo due to the “22 shortage”. If you think the ammo companies are making less rimfire ammo right now, you’re mistaken. A quick search of AmmoSeek shows dozens of websites with thousands, or even tens of thousands, of rounds in stock. LuckyGunner shows the same thing. All of those sites are getting and selling new stock daily. However, instead of being less than $0.05 per round like it should be, the cheapest available is $0.13 per round + shipping, with many sites getting closer to $0.20/round. I understand that supply and demand drive our nation’s market prices, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, what we are seeing with 22LR is artificial demand being created by a handful of ammo sellers looking to make a quick buck by capitalizing on gun owners’ fears. Fears that these sellers are helping to create.
