Why can't you get .22 WMR anywhere anymore?

It's pretty stupid. All the idiots that accidentally bought the other 22s have learned by now. Maybe fudds think it's the next caliber to disappear and hoard it?

My PMR-30 has 1000 rounds in reserve and I see it intermittently at my LGS, but I've moved to 9mm for plinking.

Canada must be grabbing up all the reserves, since it's the strongest round they can get without magazine limitations.

Hivemind!

>>29290580
Because it's a bad round with shit ballistics, poor terminal performance, and it's absolutely filthy.

Stores are having a hard time ordering it in.
Or of a long barrel it will zip through light body armor, about as well as 5.7 does our of the handgun.

It's light and small but unlike 22lr has enough power to take medium/small game.

It's a great SHTF survival gun if you're into that kind of thing.

I swear some liberal hillary voting gay ass Asian programmed the autocorrect to make gun owners look retarded.
>>
>>29293053
Maybe a top end rimfire round would equal 5.7 with a barrel difference if it was .25 only necked down to .22.

Maybe it would have similar AP capability with spitzer points like .17HMR seems able to take.

is it possible to shoot .22 Wmr out of a standard .22 rifle?
>>
>>29295751
no

and you cant fire 22lr out of a 22mag safely
>>
>>29295751
I wouldn't count on it. They make some revolvers in 22lr&wmr, and I'm guessing rifles too, but ones wmeant for 22lr would for starters usually just not fit.

my LGS in my small town has boxes of 50 for about 18$.

Decent enough for pic related.
>>
>>29295963
Why not?
>>
>>29290580
It's more common than .22lr in stores where I am (MT), but .17HMR is all over the place.
>>
>>29293053
Literally no
>>
>>29295993
22mag is a hair thicker its also longer it wont physically fit in a 22lr chamber

firing 22 lr out of a 22mag results in splitcasings the gun will probably jam up and accuracy will be horrible
it wont kb the gun but you really shouldnt do it its not the same round as a 22lr
>>
>>29295751
McChicken fired a 22lr out of Rusty's PMC30 somehow during MWNF.
>>
>>29296017
This video leads me to believe otherwise.
