.22 are getting easier to find.
They have been, but look for that to change around the end of the year and only get worse next year.

Why?

Election year coming up with some very concerning names as candidates. Lame duck anti-gun president’s last year in office. Ammunition companies have shown a reluctance to add manufacturing capacity.

A lot of people will wait until late next year to start panic buying. Some won’t.

Some of us never stop buying.

In Pennsylvania (US) .22LR has become easy to get. I buy bricks all the time at the gun shop in Chadds Ford…tactical high-velocity for my S&W AR-15 .22

Question: Is it worth it to buy a .22LR

Yep

If got 3 calibers in guns, .22, .357/.38 and 12 gauge, well 4 if you count .22 magnum(Ruger pistol). Try to keep it simple so don’t need so many different bullets.

Cool idea. Personally, I’d pick 9mm, .223/5.56, and 12ga, plus .300blk if I decide to get a stamp.

Everyone should have at least one 22 and 22 magnum.

Marlin Model 783 – 22 magnum

Marlin Model 60 22 autoloader

Marlin Model 39AS – 22 S,L,LR

To me and this just my opinion not a personal attack on anyone, 9mm is too small and I would like a .308/7.62 over a .223/5.56 but I’m old school. Plus my FIL gave me my first .357 S&W revolver and I lean that way.

I was in basic when they changed from the M14 to the M16 which we called the Mattel toy.

Yeah. I have my grandfather’s .38 special. Gonna hold on to that one.

But, I believe the science and the advantages of modern bullets. If I was shooting fmj defensively, I’d think exactly as you do.

I do use hollow points.

The military didn’t until recently, unless I’m mistaken.

Hollow-points are banned by the Hague Convention, NATO members do not use them.
Last I heard, could have changed recently.

I love my .22’s and love them even more now that I regularly find ammo locally at decent prices.

We the US did not sign it if I remember correctly, we just chose to be good and use only ball ammo.
