au contraire Redhook. I did find something - its just expensive. So now its price and MFG? A bird in the hand is worth more than a fistful of .22 birdshot to some. It's called supply and demand. It depends on the want and the need. If someone just absolutely must have .22LR ammo RIGHT now, then I found some (and btw Eley is fine for .22LR - we are not talking premium centerfire rounds here). If they don't, then don't bitch that everything is out of stock....because its not. Oh and BTW - I know where there is plenty of CCI sitting on a storeshelf within 1/2 hour of Seattle - only they limit to (1) brick per visit per day. Hint: stay away from any of the normal haunts and bigger stores.
