Awesome, another thread about 22 ammo.
Got to do your homework and find out when the stores get their deliveries.

I bought it all and is in my basement. 
We are the problem.

Awesome another "know-it-all".... just what I needed
What did you expect? A list of places you can go and tell a secret passcode where they open up the exclusive stash of hidden .22LR for all those in the know?
.22LR is sold out pretty much everywhere. People buy it as soon as it comes in. That's the case wherever you go. If you want some, wait for things to calm down or start checking shelves regularly (everyday - preferably when the trucks come in) and see if you can snap up a box or two.
Other than that, there is no magic answer to your problem.
WalMart on Rosedale Highway (SR58) in Bakersfield stocks ammo at 6AM daily.
You have to ask vendors in YOUR area when they stock it. NOBODY has it online at reasonable prices. Try gunbroker if you don't want to do the homework - you'll save time and aggravation - but pay more for that convenience.

I bought 500rds at a sportsmans rummage several weeks ago for $40. Found another 1000 on a local Fishing/Hunting website same week for $80. Was over priced by my standards but now I have enough for summer. Just ordered 5000rds online for $250 but it's a 12 week delay. Keep your eyes open, people at work tell me there's no pistol ammo but I see it weekly at local stores...last less then a day on the shelf though so you have to check often and BUY when they have it. What state are you in?

It's sort of surprising to anyone who hasn't been looking for ammo for awhile that there's no .22LR. Several reasons for it, I think: 1. Price of center-fire ammo is way up so people are practicing with .22 cal. 2. People expect a zombie apocalypse soon and plan on using .22 ammo like currency. If the predicted apocalypse doesn't happen a lot of people are going to get stuck with a lot of .22 ammo that they bought at premium prices, and they'll have to figure what to do about the sunk cost.
Next thing yah know Airsoft pellets will be impossible to find. I guess it's a good time to fill out your knife collection... Maybe invest in a trebuchet?

Never claimed I was a "know-it-all". But what I do know is, is that there are countless threads exactly like yours. I also know that whining about it won't get you anything. I know this may be hard to believe, but I did a little bit of asking around and woke up early for a few days and ended up scoring some ammo. I have yet to have ammo fall in my lap by complaining I couldn't find any on here.

I wait in line every week at my LGS for 100 CCI Mini Mags for $7.99/100.
Every week. Those boxes add up.

The key is to buy all you can afford when demand is low.
Ammo speculation is far easier than money speculation.

Some of it is in my house, some in my garage, I bought most of it before the election but I scored two bricks of eley recently. I also gave away a brick of cci blazer that was from a case I bought two years ago. My nephew that just bought a rifle was really thrilled.
A lot of us have ammo, we bought it when you could get still get it, most of us are not trying that hard to buy the new ammo you are trying to buy. We will buy again when stocks return, the prices are right and we will buy a lot more the next time.
Those that didn't prepare earlier got a clue and tried to catch up with us. By the time you got a clue, THEY bought it. Don't blame us that were prepared.

My LGS has a Facebook page and posts anytime new ammo comes in. All you have to do is give them a call and they will hold it for you for up to 24 hours.
Of course all they have been getting in is match grade stuff so I don't buy it.

CCI drop ships to me. Need to have at least 100,000 rounds before I sell any.

What, can't find any ammo how can that be. I just sold 3,500rds. this week. Hey It's the American way. Capitalism, free markets all that. Still got about 5 years worth left. It does pay to plan ahead.
