While there is indeed a shoartage of ammo, I've yet been unable to find what I was looking for with some presistence. I can buy more 9mm and .22LR ammo within a mile of my home than I'm likely to shoot in a lifetime. Yes, prices have gone up significantly, but theres plenty of ammo to be had is you look hard enough. to date, I HAVE NOT been ammo shopping for ANY caliber I own( .22, .17 HMR, .243, 30-30, 9mm 12 gauge .410, 7mm rem. mag, 7.62x39), and been unable to locate it (and at basically the same price as it was in November, with the exception of the 7.62x39)).
