Being hoarded. People are afraid particular centerfire cartridges and the firearms which use them will be banned. Thus, the demand for those cartridges (5.56x45/.223 Remington, 7.62x39, 5.45x39, 7.62x51 and .308 Winchester, 9x19 Parabellum/Luger, .45 ACP) increases exponentially. Since 1: the demand ensures sales of those calibers continues and 2: it's more profitable to sell a box of any of the aforementioned cartridges than it is to sell a box of .22 LR, production of .22 LR becomes a much lower priority, thus causing a shortage.

How does 22 CB long ammunition compare to 22 long rifle ammunition?
The CB Long is a designation used by CCI for a cartridge that has the overall length of the LR cartridge, but a much lighter powder load. This results in a cartridge that is easier to cycle through a repeating rifle (actual CB caps are TINY!) but has far less energy than the LR cartridge. As a result, they are much quieter than the LR, the bullet travels slower, the bullet drop is greater, and the penetrating power is much less.
