Farmlands Hastings has been sold out of 22 for weeks.

I have limited stocks of bricks of 22LR including some of the Mex Fiacchi (Subs and super sonic). I know there is a ton of Highland around here somewhere too, I just have not found it yet. I have a lot of difficulty with shipping so probably only of assistance to those near chch who can pick up.

Guy I know in one of the GC stores shoots a bit of smallbore and in his gun the fiocchi goes to the same poi. Kills the same as cci as far as I can tell.

Its getting to the stage of get what you can as the shortages are going to be real and last a while with all the silliness in the states .

I dont the understand the shipping problems?? Boats are still sailing all over the world, some of our finest can fly to US and back in the middle of the lockdown with suitcases full of P.
I do understand factorys may have closed or reduced production but freight is still moving?

I think it's more of the "Iron hand."

Freight is, customs not so much...?

My understanding is that the Federal and CCI factories are running flat out but demand for ammo is like 2013 so I would expect the next six to 12 months of rimfire being in short supply.

Thought Winchester .22 subs being made in Australia would make them a bit easier to get over in NZ?

I think Winchester ceased manufacturing at Geelong a while back.
The ozzie 22 ammo was always superior to the Yank stuff more the shame.

Crap, I'd better stock up if that is the case!
