5. I can't understand the scarcity of .22 LR either.

I have semi-auto .22 rifles and a semi-auto handgun and don't have any .22 ammo on hand to shoot them.

A few weeks ago our local fleet store advertised in the newspaper that they had .22 LR at a special price. When I got there, I couldn't believe what they were selling. There were boxes of 50 rounds, made in Czechoslovakia in 1982. I might shoot that stuff in a single shot rifle, but nothing else. I did not buy any. I prefer the Remington jacketed .22 LR ammunition. I have not seen it on the shelves for a long time.

My guess is that it has a lower profit margin than other calibers. bluedigger Dec 2013 #7
