I have a small stock of 22LR, but do not want to use a lot of it until I get this "shortage" figured out. I picked up a new SR22 pistol last year and then got one of the Take-Down 10/22s when they hit the shelves. It would be nice to be out breaking them in like they should be. They both have about 300 round thru them to make sure everything works, but that is not enough to find all the bugs and get the action nice and broke in. I will only go to the range after I have bought enough ammo to replace what I plan on shooting. The ammo companies claim that they are running full tilt, and the government has no use for 22LR. It has to be going some place.
