There was a shortage here in the states because everyone and their brother was buying it all up. As a competitive shooter, Silhouette and .22 benchrest competitions , I had to drop out of benchrest because I couldnt' find Club Extra which my rifle will shoot 5/16" groups at 50 yards. I still shoot Silhouette as most of the decent Standard Velocity I can still find at Walmart when I show up on the day it's delivered. I use Federal Automatch and Winchester M-22 and if needed Aguila SE. We have an informal competition every 3rd Saturday and we shoot 40,50,75 and 100M for Chicken,Pig, Turkey and Ram they are 3/4 scale NRA targets. It's a lot of fun. I usually shoot my modified Ruger 10-22 or my Ruger KMK512 in SST both are modified to the hilt. If I'm in the mood I'll shoot my Canik T120 (think Baby Eagle). That's my other passion is gunsmithing and shooting, anything mechanical or electrical basically. I am finding a lot of the Federal Automatch at Carters Country. I pick up a 325 box when we go shoot trap or any of the other guns.

Ammo should be about .05 a round, if you pay more then you are buying premium (eley/Wolf) or they are charging too damn much.
