Anyone else move away from .22s because of the shortage?

Sort of the opposite. During the shortage there were some fine bargains to be had on .22 guns in general. I picked up half a dozen nice .22s for cheap. I figured supply would over shoot demand soon enough. It did, now I have some fine .22s and enough cheap ammo to last the rest of my days..

Co-workers trash talked prior to the .22 shortage at the amount of .22 I had on hand and the fact that every time I went to the store, I bought more. During the shortage, I kept shooting, and they were pissed that I would not give/sell them any. I told them that they had a chance to buy some but instead they were short sighted, and chose to spend their money on other things. My kids never knew there was ever a shortage.

Between my father and I, the kids and grandkids will never know of the shortage of the early 2000s. We are still sitting pretty. with 2 more minions to raise, they will shoot as much as they like and I will not worry about our supplies. Proper planning and all that. Same with primers, powder, etc.
