Never had a hard time finding 22LR. I just buy a case at a time of CCI standard velocity. When it starts getting down I buy another case.
The "Clean" CCI polymer coated stuff is hard to get and pricey, but it leaves less wax and other crud that you need to clean out.
The 22lr ammo meltdown is long over bud where have you been? Shelves are full of 22lr anywhere I go and much of it is in the 6 to 7 cents per round zone for the general range fodder.Which do you think is the most sought after 22lr out there during this ammo meltdown? Is it plinking ammo? target? specialized? What is it?

Feeding issues with 10/22s? I shoot mine weekly and clean it once a year......and have never cleaned the magazines. Runs like a top.Isn't all the 10-22 feeding issues cured by polishing the feed ramp in the mag, and failure to extract from the bolt and reciever needing a cleaning and light lube?

Interesting. Someone is trying to compete with CCI Stinger 32gr. Coming in 10fps faster with 29gr. Muzzle energy is a bit lower though at 175 vs 191 for 32grIf it's got to be nickle plated try the new Federal Punch .. highest velocity around
Yeah, I was pretty depressed that I had to clean my new 10/22 after only its 3rd range trip. Of course, that 3rd trip was a whole day shooting in a downpour at an Appleseed event. I knew once it got soaked I was going to have to wipe it down and clean it when I got it home.Feeding issues with 10/22s?

I could still find the high end stuff (>$.15/rnd) then just not the affordable stuff (<$0.06/rnd)Remember the .22 panic during Obama?
Some stuff could be found. A lot of NES members were going up to NH. I remember driving by shooters every weekend on my way to Bear Brook and grabbing 1 brick of Standard velocity. They had a 1 brick limit per customer.I could still find the high end stuff (>$.15/rnd) then just not the affordable stuff (<$0.06/rnd)
At the time I could reload 9mm and 38spl for $0.10 with cast bullets so I wasn't paying 50% more to shoot 22.
