I noticed this ammo is hard to find. Can anyone help me find some ammo. I just bought the gun, but can't get my hands on any ammo for it. I'm not sure if I am posting this in the wrong place. Any help would be appreciated.

Where to buy some 17HMR
Not sure how far you are from MA but 17HMR has been pretty easy to find around here. Although I haven't been anywhere looking in a couple weeks.
I understand what the OP is going through. I bought a Winchester 1885 in 17 HMR. I was able to find one box of 17 HMR, hope to find more before Sage Rat season! I do have other rifles to shoot so I won't miss out on Sage Rat funerals!

The last two gun shows I have noticed no one selling that round. All other all over place venders selling ammo at high prices.
I can say one thing I was glad back in April & May I hot all the Walmarts that were selling ammo, and bought has such has they had knowing we will have shortage, from all from 6 stores. Last count 5,600 rounds.
Now no Walmart here sells ammo.

That's what it jumped to everywhere up here. Had been 10.99-14.99 now its 16.49 to 17.99. Welcome to inflation.
Mach 2 jumped to 10$ and wmr to 14. Even big box stores are charging lgs scalper prices. Yesterday I found 12$ 9mm next to the 16.49 17hmr.... go figure

With 9 mm going for .65 a round, and 223/556 for .90 a round .34 a round is still better than a stick in the eye.
Its like gas, the car dont go if you dont give them your dough

Some local shops near me have raised the price to around 20 bucks a box. I found some other places are still reg price. 17 seems to be available more than reg 22 also.

I shot 25 rounds of 17 hmr last week. This time last year I was averaging 4 boxes a week... have only bought 2x bricks since march of last year, that's a tenth of my 2019 17 hmr buying.....
Unless life returns to normal quickly, the ammo companies are the issue. Nobody is going on a vacation, large segments of the usa cannot eat out or go to Disney or a cruise. It's been a renaissance in biking skiing and the shooting sports. It's hard to get any outdoor equipment right now, but unlike the other spaces ammo is limited to domestic production that cannot expand to meet demand. Guessing that the only new normal is going to be the nation's appetite for ammo. None of the new shooters I trained had any ammo on hand, several have recently bought 17s as it was on the shelf. Until manufacturing increases production the shortage will persist, regardless of if we help someone find some or not.

Those of use old enough to remember all the other shortages and how the cycle will continue. Toilet paper is a good example, everyone's TP needs stayed the same, but buy panic buying and hording took place causing a shortage. The market will hit a saturation point and the price will drop again. Some other stuff happened to make this shortage a bad one, but this cycle will finish and a another one will start. Now is not the time to buy.
