Well... this thread was started in April 2014, and this overall shortage has been going on a long damn while now, more than just a couple of years.
We're overdue for a factual accounting of what is really going on and I'd like to see a very tightly modded thread showing only true info, good quotes, or whatever verifiable figures are obtained one way or another.
Has any reputable "Investigational Journalist" done a good piece on the subject, complete with industry leader and manufacturer quotes?
I go to the range occasionally.. I see far fewer people there now than in 2010-2011.
I'm not inclined to believe that demand is outpacing production.
Particularly irritating is of course, is the nearly complete absence of 22lr in any measurable quantity at any store I go to - Walmart, Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc... why?
I mean really... this is pushing what... 4 years or so now?
