I went to the pistol range at my club yesterday, and found plenty of empty .22LR casings at every firing point, and little or no big bore casings. I got the impression that shooters have been hoarding their big bore pistol ammo and practicing with .22LR ammo. That would explain the shortage of .22LR ammo on the shelves of our gunshops. Have you found this to be true in your area?

ive been able to get ammo on a decently frequent basis though it is all ordered through the mail, cant find it on store shelves. but the missing piece of my handgun reloading puzzle is primers. YOU CANNOT FIND SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS ANYWHERE!!!!! 180 grain .40 smith bullets are a close second to the primers.
they just opened up a new cabelas 15 minutes from my university, i went on the opening morning and was able to snatch a box of 650 rounds of 180 .40 cal for $250 bucks. price per bullet was actually a pretty good deal compared to what you find elsewhere.

Actually my closest local indoor shooting range is the only place that I can find .22 lr or 9mm ammo. They sell reloads of all pistol rounds but have factory 9mm annd 22 lr. If this is like the shortage after the election in 2008 it may take as much as a year for the shortage to end.
