Why would someone start a thread about 22LR on a site dedicated to hunting in Africa?:confused: It is definately not becasue I would use it on my next safari, but I thought this would be interesting because most of us started shooting the 22LR as our first hunting rifle before moving up the the 458 Lott and bigger.


So here are the questions:
Is the shortages coming to an end for 22LR anytime soon?
What about the powder shorages for reloading?
Are others seeing the same problems in other countries? (shortages, higher prices, hoarder)

I know that my stash of 22 LR has gone down by about three thousand in the past year, and not from shooting!

Friends and co-workers have been kept shooting despite the lack of retail availability. This is one of the reasons for my stash (which I have maintained at least for the last 10 years, not a recent hoarding phenomenon).

I personally will not resume shooting my usual 2,000 rounds per year until I feel certain that availability is back to more or less normal.

Powder is still very tight in the places I normally check. I have quite a bit...but no Reloader 22 or 25, of which I would buy 8 pounds of each, given the chance!

I do not think this is near over.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
