I talked to the guys who actually do the ordering and stock the ammunition at the local farm stores and local hardware stores and even a local gun store or two that used to have .22 to be purchased "at will" 2 years ago. They don't sell out - they don't get any.
I asked several large places that "used" to have .22 for purchase at will and they all told me the same thing. It isn't being purchased off the truck by guys who have the time to show up when the truck gets there. It never gets there...the orders are never filled, the orders are in limbo. Every week they reorder, every week the orders are never filled.
I accept the explanation that hoarding has caused the issue. I cannot purge the thought that all that ammunition is still being purchased from bigger venues by guys who have the time to buy if right off the truck, hundreds or thousands of rounds at a time and then they are shooting it or stacking it in a pile. I boggles my mind. I cannot purge the idea that something else is involved. I know a lot of guys who simply are not seeing any .22 to hoard. They'd gladly buy it off the truck but it never gets there to buy or hoard.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I cannot purge the concept that there is another bottle neck somewhere, somehow.
