Desperately need some tac22. It’s what we use as budget target ammo. Where has it all gone? Seems like it’s not available anywhere.

It's hard to find for sure due it's popularity, if and when it's available needless to say stock up while you can. I bought the bulk of what I have, several cases, direct from Norma over the past 2 years but it and MATCH-22 have been on "notify me" for quite a while now. Just keep checking around.

I doubt it is being discontinued unless Norma just decided that. I had talked to Norma several months ago if they had plans for a replacement for the now discontinued TAC-22 Subsonic HP which is my go to hunting round, they replied no. I also asked about regular TAC-22 and was told it and MATCH-22 were not being discontinued at that time. It's my understanding that Norma uses head stamped RWS brass imported from Germany and I'm wondering if it's a supply chain issue since many European ammo mfgr's. are supplying for the war in Ukraine and other hot spots around the globe, dunno.

Norma TAC-22 Subsonic shot as well or better than MATCH-22 from my CZ Synthetic American and both Varmint MTR's. I suspect they discontinued it so it wouldn't dip into the sales of the higher priced MATCH-22 sales, again dunno.

I recently just discovered Tac-22, as a local shop has a supply of it for a decent price. Seems to shoot very well, better than CCI SV, in several of my rifles. I've been looking for other sources of it, and have come up empty handed. Guess this explains why. I REALLY hope they didn't discontinue it and we see more of it this year! I'll buy that stuff by the brick!

My experience lately with TAC-22 has been disappointing. Quite a bit behind actual match ammo, not really distinguishable from Mini-Mags or other accurate HV options for me. Let's just say I won't be buying more, perhaps should consider dumping what I have on GB.
