I havent purchased or shot .22 in years. I'm on to better plinking rounds. Just picked up 1k/rnds. worth of 338LM components.
|

Still working off 550 round boxes marked $9.96. It'll be a while before I buy regular 22. Now higher end subsonic stuff...that's a little different.

Yup, the CA ammo panic is looming. View Quote I keep telling people that we're going to see regional shortages real soon as companies start moving inventory into and near CA to take advantage of the upcoming panic. Now is the time to stock up or start getting serious about reloading. |

My WM has the first 22LR I've seen there in nearly 4 years. It's Winchester M22, 1000 rds for $58. I'm glad they have it, but I don't see them selling a lot of that around here, maybe I'm wrong.

I haven't seen 22 rimfire in my local walmart for years...granted, I only go in a few times a year now, but overtime i do there is no 22. I've been there at different times as well and often before the reported times that the neck beards will show up.
I had a decent stash of 22 before the shortage, but didn't want it depleted so would replenish it periodically. i hated paying the higher prices, but i also wanted to keep shooting on a regular basis and 22 rimfire is the "easiest" for me to shoot as I can just walk out my back door and shoot suppressed. If prices do crash, I will be buying a ton of it in different flavors. |

Watch it happen, I am tracking this with no small amount of joy and amusement, and still not buying until I see sub-.04 cents a round. Wally world has steadily had .22 for months now for just over 5 cents a round, really don't understand why anyone would pay more, but others are falling, Cabela's had bricks with no limit the other day for 6 cents a round. So now I am going to track the massive crash of .22 prices. View Quote Because some people don't just buy the cheapest garbage they can find, and prefer ammo that shoots well. CCI SV and minimags are the cheapest I buy, and they will never be 4 or 5 cents per round. They were 7 cents, 10 years ago. |

You know what's even better than the return of .22 ?
Varget is available now. |

Varget is available now. View Quote We've had plenty of it locally, as long as you want to pay $250/8lb jug... |

No 22lr, or mag at WM around me. They never ran out of 17hmr though.

Central Florida. Some 22. Prices have done down but still quite high.

I'm well stocked and I can wait. There are equal odds that ammo will go up in price over the next few years. It all depends on what Trump does.

And 10 years ago doesn't mean squat, I remember when it was MUCH cheaper, and people who say something is never gonna happen are almost always wrong. |

10/22's are awesome, but might I humbly recommend my favorite? Henry .22 lever-action, funnest rifle I own. View Quote Bought one two yrs ago during the ARFCOM Wal-Mart Black Friday layaway scheme. Then, about two months ago, I won one in a gun raffle. My two boys love them, as do I. I don't have a suppressor, but I loaded the thing with CCI CB shorts the other day and had a blast. |

CDNN Ad today. It's crappy ammo, but still they're just giving it away. http://i.imgur.com/3bfPjDP.jpg View Quote Remington Thunderbolt , in my experience, is pretty good bulk .22lr ammo.. Golden bullets on the other hand... |

Tarentum PA Wallys
At least thirty sleeves of Mini Mags, two types of CCI WMR and Winchester 30gr. A Max WMR this afternoon. A few of the CCI Standard 50rd Christmas sleeves too I didn't touch a bit of it Ask about the 32 boxes of ZQ1 7.62 that inventory shows that they are unable to find to while your at it. Fat assed female manager couldn't find it in the front of the security cage and wasn't going to go digging for it. Maybe promise her a trip to Phoenix or something and that'll motivate her to do her job. Your welcome |

Still will be about a year before we really see it crash back to pre-FBHO panic days.
Can't wait for the neckbeards tears since they have been fucking rimfire shooters for years. |

View Quote I hardly ever check, but I've never seen it since the day after Sandy (I had just bought a new .22 at the time so that next day I went out to pick up a couple boxes). |

I haven't seen .22lr at Wal-mart for years (or today either.)
But all my other go to places have had it in stock regularly for quite a while. |

I picked up a brick of CCI standard velocity for 8 cents a round a few weeks ago at Academy. They had a decent selection at that time. I hadn't seen CCI standard velocity for the previous 3 years.

I'm considering buying some segmented subsonic, buy id much rather be able to get them in standard ( 1000fps, than 750 fps subs ). I absolutely refuse to buy golden bullets, and other bottom of the barrel shitty .22 ammo. |

I'm just glad I got in on the CMP deal of 5000 rd sealed cases pre sandy hook
I have 15k rounds left.. |
|
I'll get excited if it gets to $.04 per.
Edited, because math and relationship " why don't you want me like you used to?" talk doesn't mix. |

I can reload 9mm for under 10 cents a round. Haven't shot .22 in a couple of years.

I'll believe 22LR will drop to normal levels..when the sun burns out and we all freeze to death as a result.
Until then...neckbearded fucktardedness will continue to win the day. |

View Quote Almost exactly a year and a half ago I bought Wnchester 36gr HV for $.0495/per at the local Walmart. It was in the 222 round boxes. Bought three boxes. Sold one for the $35, kept one, and gave one to my best friend's kids for squirrel and rabbit hunting. Just wish I'd bought a lot more because I basically got paid to shoot it. I would have but couldn't get my friend on the phone to see if he wanted me to buy some extra for him. I would have bought 15 boxes, sold 2 to the same guy but for $25 each, gave my friend his three at cost, and kept 10. I'd have had $81.88 in 10 boxes, so $.0368/each, or $36.80/1000. Edited because, math |

When you start finding CCI mini mags and stingers on the shelf, let me know. View Quote Actually, I've seen CCI Mini-Mags on the shelf at Walmart both of the last 2 weekends. One had a 3 box limit sign but the sales guy didn't seem to care. The other one didn't have the sign up any more. I don't recall what the exact price was but 3 boxes of 100 came to $25 something with tax. |
