I can undersstand the shelves being empty due to all the panic buying. I don't understand the long lead times for restocking those shelves.
The ammo companies are still churning out ammo every day, right? Somebody has to be taking delivery of the tens of thousands of 22LR being made every day.......And that is just one caliber.
Somebody has to be buying it all up.
Thats what Im wondering too. Where is all the .22lr going? I visit about 5 different shops every few days and none ever have any .22 or even say they have gotten any lately.
