Ammo in WV

[wvglockguy]

I've been in Charleston, WV for a couple days for my dad's funeral. Stopped in Cableas yesterday and they had a good selection of just about all calibers, including popular ones, except .22. Stopped in Gander Mt today and I don't remember ever seeing as much ammo in one place ever! Tens of thousands of rounds of .223/5.56 in multiple brands. Prices were a bit high, but then it's Gander. About the only ammo that wasn't well stocked was .22
I felt like a kid in a candy store being in both places :)

Also sorry for the loss of your father.

Does anyone know why 22 ammo is in short supply?

Because more people are buying it? Some at any cost?

More people own 22's than most other guns is the main issue with getting ammo for them I would imagine.

As with anything, if there is a demand someone will fill it. I am guessing as other calibers became hard to come by, a lot of shooter turned to 22. I have read than supplies were starting to come back so hopefully this will all equal out.
