.22lr ammo shortage??

#1 Post by 1066 »

I went into the Lord Roberts Centre NSRA shop yesterday while I was at Bisley - Asked for some Midas + ammunition "Sorry none in stock" ok I'll have some Centre x then, same answer. Apparently they will have no Lapua 22lr ammunition until some time in October.

A bit worrying for competition shooter I would think.

I had a similar thing a couple weeks ago... went in there and wanted some Eley Action and Standard +

They had no Eley, but (at that time) had no problems getting European stuff..

Eley have told me there's a 4-6 week delay on all orders, Lapua/SK also have limited availability in some varieties, can't get SK Std+ at all but the Magazine is available.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.
