So where is all the .22LR and .380? Is it that those are not being manufactured so that producers can focus on other calibers or are those being bought up as soon as they are made? I find it hard to believe the government is buying .22Lr and .380.

Could be. I once read that .380 was a "seasaonal" round as the same equipment made other rounds of that caliber (.38, etc)

No, both are still being produced and sold - I have purchased 22LR at WalMart in the past few weeks, and seen .380 there as well. The problem is that it just gets snapped up as soon as it hits the shelves. I have had good luck with .22; some folks report they never see it around.

And to their credit WalMart has not jacked up the price on .22, or at least had not a couple weeks ago.
