Default 17 hmr ammo ????? Shortage ?

Anyone else having issues finding some 17 hmr ammo ? Have been to 3 different places and all have been sold out ! Any help would be awesome as I only have about 15 left in a box and it's the start of the season !!

Location?
On a farm doesn't quite help.

How much do you need to get you by, Brad? I've got a whole brick that I'll sell you at cost if you want to pick them up. I have to go to the ATA pretty soon and I'm a little flexible as to when.....pretty busy right now.

Federal Premium Ammo.....17 grain Hornady V-Max Polymer tip

I'll be using my .22 mag so I won't miss them.

This has been an issue that seems to be getting worse. I have been stock piling for a little while now. I buy 17 and 22 bullets when I see them, which isn't that often any more.

Guys, a US billionair called Sorros has been buying up most of the US shell manufacturing companies. If you control the ammunition you control the guns.
Not positive but told this by an American uncle. I could not believe how little ammo in Cabelas when there a few weeks ago,

I looked up George Soros. It is quite a internet can of worms. The Freedom firm appears to be one buying the gun and ammo companies. NRA claims it does not trace back to Soros. Quite confusing but definitly no ammo at Cabelas. May be another example like Hunt brothers trying to corner silver market a few years back before Uncle Sam clipped their wings.
