Take CCI for example.

They don't build factories, but they just happen to build 87 different varieties instead of the handful they used to. So now they can crank out fucking Troy Landry and  "tactical" ammo instead of what everybody wants to buy so the price stays high, and people will buy the bullshit ammo because it is all they can find. Then multiply it times 10 with all you fat assed cave dwelling neckbeards vaccuming it all up as soon as your cousin tells you walmart got a shipment in. News flash! The panic is over and nobody is going to buy that shit from you!  So thank you ammo manufacturers, for giving us consumers soooo many choices (that nobody wants) during a fucking 4 year panic. Bag of dicks.

Not trying to be a dick, but it seems as though prices are coming down and availability....at least online...is really good over the past couple of months.

My new strike price is 5 cents per round and am only going to go with CCI Blazer...which all of my .22s love.  Anything else would need to be 4ish cents per round to get my interest.

Funny. but CCI is all over the place here now. Not saying the price has come down, but I can walk into my lgs or even Gander and get Minimags now any time.

Thanks, but with all the 22 ammo I have managed to find recently, I have no place for your bag of dicks. Why don't you hold onto said bag yourself. Who knows, maybe Ruger will make a gun that can fire them.

It looks like standard velocity is running the same price as mini mags these days.

So I'm guessing mini mags are going to jump even more.  Seems like they were 3 cents per round not too long ago.

A beered up leftist troll from Montucky [mt], could conduct a better rant.  {Buddy of mine. He is a douche. says buy American owns a import 1911.}
CCI is arguably the best 22lr on the planet.  
Before all this shit, mini mags were selling for .08 per.  We are almost there with those.
I like the Choot em packs and have a few just to collect.  
That so called boutique ammo all has it's uses.

ETA: They had bricks of CCI sv but it was 10 cpr.

I think the bigger chain stores like Cabela's and Gander Mountain have a bunch of .22 stockpiled.  When they have a new store do its grand opening, they ship a few pallets to that store.

It is a lure or bait to get people into the store.

CCI Mini Mag hasn't been 3.00 in recent memory. I was buying 5,000 round cases at 6.00 per 100 about 10 years ago.

No problems finding 22lr here. I've got a ton but if I wanted more there are 3 Walmarts in my area with it in stock. You don't have to believe it but supply is absolutely increasing.

Unless I'm hunting small game like rabbit or squirrel, I just shoot 9mm for targets. It's not much more than 22lr when you roll your own, or even when you just buy WWB.

OP, your knowledge of basic economics and manufacturing processes are lacking faith in the force of the market.

CCI has the machinery to make .22.  There is a demand for .22.  They can make money selling .22.  

It doesn't matter if they make other calibers because none of those three statements is affected by the production of small amounts of speciality ammunitions.

But CCI does appreciate the free advertising.  If you will google your headline, you will likely find your post popping up.

Regardless, Trump is making America greater.

Couple months ago I was able to buy a crap ton of 22 at Walmart. I still see it from time to time still and will buy a few boxes when they have it. I have had no problem building a nice mini stash of 22 over the last few months.

I've been able to put back 6K in CCI Standard Velocity for $40 a brick. I remember very distictly when it was $30 a brick before Obama and I didn't have the money to stock some back then. Since Wolf MT dried up the SV has been a decent substitute for a reasonable price. I saw Eley yesterday for the same price as 8 years ago.

Last .22 I bought was 2 cases of Blazer,5250 rds per case, for $149/case, delivered. From PSA.
A buddy bought 10 cases. Wish I did, but have plenty of other brands.

When things were crazy tight, I gave some bricks to BSA and 4H shooting programs. Donated some to local auctions that were raising money for youh programs. Even sold some for $15 a brick to new shooters. LOL, got rid of most of my Rem Golden that way!
