I bought 4200 rounds of .22LR at Cabelas yesterday. It's Remington "Golden Bullet" (brass plated hollow points) value packs, 525 rounds for $19.99, rated at 1280 FPS.

I bought 44,000 rounds from a super wal mart for $9.00 per brick about four, maybe five months ago.

Wal-Mart.
I've got a couple ten thousand rounds of the Federal Value Pack stuff.

If your Walmart stocks it, Winchester 333rd LRHP for $9.95.
It doesn't stay on the shelf long. |

I'd stay away from Golden Bullet, never had great luck with it. Better than the cheap Winchester-branded that Wally World has (had?) but Federal was the best of the cheap stuff. |

I've had very little luck with Remmy Golden Bullet value packs. I've had more bad primers in one box of Remmy than I've had in 10 of Federal 550 packs. |

I've had more bad primers in one box of Remmy than I've had in 10 25 of Federal 550 packs. I've had the misfortune of shooting through a whole brick of Golden Bullets (or at least trying to). I had close to 50 duds in a 550 round pack. I've shot thousands and thousands and thousands of rounds of Federal Value pack .22 and experienced maybe 10-15 duds. |

Interesting, I haven't had any problems with it. I've had more duds in my recent CCI boxes than the Remington. I'll keep my eye on it, thanks for the heads up! |

That being said I don't think I've ever seen the 550rd boxes of of .22lr, rem or fed for 9 bucks a box let alone only a few months ago. |

That being said I don't think I've ever seen the 550rd boxes of of .22lr, rem or fed for 9 bucks a box let alone only a few months ago. Around Y2K they were about $8.97 a box (I remember having my parents buy me some for the 10/22 I got around that time). Was that price for the early part of this decade. Then it jumped up to $9.88 (around 2006- but that's just a guess). Then ammo prices went crazy and it climbed up and up from there. I stocked up when it was still $11.98 a box (probably only about 20K though). Now it's up to something like $13.47 a box (been that way since last summer). 40000 thousand rounds of .22 isn't that much...even at todays prices that's still under $1000. 3000 rounds of 5.56 will cost you more than that. |

As a data-point, I bought 10K of Winchester Dynapoint from Able Ammo for $398.03/shipped back in June 2008.

They were $9.95 a 550 rnd box just several months ago. Then they jumped to $11.95, then $13.95. I buy them by the 10 box case and get 10% off at that, bought all mine when they was $9.95 each. Dont even know how much i have, close to 100K
Just because someone wont show you a pic, or show you a 5 month old receipt, doesnt justify calling BS. Get over it, you missed out and now have to pay $19 for the same box or whatever it is they charge now...when they have it. |

walmart here in vegas has a ton on the shelf. I bought 8 bxs of target today.
Plus, at walmart i get another 10% off because my friend wife works there. All I do is swipe his badge and 10% off. |

Oh trust me I didn't miss out I'm just curious about the 9.00 dollars 4-5 months ago because the Walmarts around here have been at 13.95 for a box for at least 4-5 months now if not longer. |

RangerT +1 Walmart has the best price in .22lr ammo. Federal Bulk Packs 550 rounds for $13.47. But since the election, even walmart can't keep them in stock. The only other option is sometimes Cabelas has Federal Bulk Packs 525 rounds on sale for under $15, They usually have hundreds upon hundreds of boxes. -Masta |

I don't remember how long ago it was, but it definitly wasn't a few months ago. Maybe a year to 1.5 years ago. I should have bought more then!! -Masta |

My Wal Mart had the 550 packs of Fed and for 9.97 and the Rem for 8.97 in Spring of 08. I remember it, too bad I was spending all my money on WWB .45ACP they had on sale.
