Whats with the unavailability of .22 LR?
I see lots of talk about the return of the .22LR, but all I see for sale is .08 to .15 cents a shot. I can reload my .38's for that. But I cannot reload my .22's. I think as long as it takes a buck to shot one mag of .22's, it is gone as my go to plinking round and total fun recreation round to just sit and burn up a brick in an afternoon with the kids. I know folks at Federal and the cost of making them has not increased that much, that they cannot come down to nearly half that with out loosing their shirt. It is just another problem we have to live with and learn to open up other doors. Like finding scrap lead and trading it for boolits.
Making our own ammo is becoming a necessity rather than a hobby for us fixed income older retired guys. And More power to us for it. POOP on the .22's for now .

paying around .05 to .07 cents when I see them.. Have bought a few boxes @ Joe's Sporting Goods recently...usually have some brand of 22 LR on the shelf... at least the few times I was there

Prices including sales tax are usually around .05 -.08 cents a round, and both places offer free shipping to the store. I would rather purchase it that way, versus wasting time and gas money driving around to different stores hoping to find some.

Define a "pretty good supply" please.

It really is a matter of perception. If I dip below 20,000 rds I start to exibit flu-like symptoms. currently at about 30. Don't think I've ever sold any. if I did, it was to one of you folks. given 3-4 thousand to friends during the shortage.
