[QUOTE="FamousAJ, post: 2403239, member: 9545"] Most of it is supply and demand. Most gun grabbers wanted to just buy a gun..any gun. The most affordable gun? anything in .22 caliber. I know 4 people who bought .22 caliber rilfes or pistols for this reason exactly. Multiply that by...oh, lets just millions. There is your shortage reason. Its cheaper than .223/5.56 etc... Most noobz in the gun arena think that 550 rounds for $20 is an excellent deal. Pay $10 for 20 rounds? HA! You get my drift. It will normalize folks. The price will never come down to $10/brick, but you will eventually start seeing it on the shelf. I went to academy today and there was more .223/5.56 there than before the scare. I could have backed up my truck and filled it to the brim. You are seeing 9, .45, .308, and 7.62 on the shelf...even 3 months ago that was limited. It will come back and you will be like...what shortage? another reason for the shortage, gaming the system. Nothing personal, but I've seen a family of 4 go and buy the limit, while leaving none for the other 10 ppl in line. [/QUOTE]
