Do you all think this is going to be the new normal, or is this another .22lr debacle that will be over next summer?

I think supply will catch up with demand , but maybe not till after election. If Biden wins, demand will triple and so will prices. Stock up now if not already.

Realistically, people are just gonna stop most of their shooting if bulk blaster .223 hits a buck a round, so I think there is a point at which demand falls off and prices stabilize. Hell, more than even fifty cents a round would cause me to stop shooting 3gun, or switch over to something else like 5.45x39 or 7.62x39. (Actually, I've already started using my 5.45x39 AR for 3gun and classes, so I guess the cutoff was more like 33cpr for me.)

I'm insulated for the moment from the 9mm insanity since I'm stocked pretty well in powder and primers, but that's only going to last a few more months unless I can restock primers somewhere in there.

The re-stocking over the long-term is what I’m worried about.  I’m fine, for now, but if this ends up being the .22lr fiasco, then I’m going to have to conserve a little more.

And this is why i think .22 is the next to skyrocket in price and be OOS everywhere soon

.22 is still available and very reasonable on price shipped to your door.

Folks will not shoot their centerfire ammo for fear of replacing the spent rounds due to cost,availability,etc and go to.22 to shoot.

I have a nice ammo fort of .22 and still grabbed another 10K for $400 shipped last week to top off my neckbeard pile just in case

Watch and see it happen if this keeps up with centerfire ammo being overpriced and hard to find

I never have had a problem with it.Stay away from the 60 grain stuff it sucks

Sometimes it smells like cat piss while shooting,very common with Aguila ammo.Pretty clean

I would rate it below Mini Mags and AR Tactical ,and above Federal Automatch in my experience.

More along with lines of Federal Champion ammo.

Are you going to win a match or shoot one holes with it? No but it works for me.

Well, that stuff looks like garbage to me so I went with 5250 rounds of  This CCI Blazer® 22 LR Bulk Pack. It’s topped off with 525 rounds of accurate, reliable Blazer loads with 38-grain round nose bullets perfect for plinking. The rounds cycle particularly well in semi-automatic rifles, thanks to their 1,235 fps muzzle velocity and clean, consistent CCI® priming.
I think it came out to 8 6 CPR after tax and shipping.

edited price per round.

Ok,looks like garbage. The 40 grain Super extra is Eley Prime pretty much, they share tech with Eley




Well if you checked, the CCI Blazer 38 grain bulk packs are terrible in accuracy compared to the 40 grain Blazer offering.

The 40 grain Blazer is what you want,so much for buying on looks

It's always like that... centerfire goes crazy, rimfire goes crazy, and then reloading components go crazy. It's the sequence of ammo panics. Unfortunately, rimfire is not necessarily helpful to people shooting USPSA, multi-gun, and doing a lot of training classes.

One thing that is worth noting, though, is that a lot of ammo is imported, so things will suddenly become available for a bit when the next big shipment hits.

I guess people thinking the world is about to break into civil war and they didn't plan ahead?

Or noob gun owners.  Lots of new gun owners out there getting training.  WHICH IS GREAT.  My friends that train are booked every day.  Their weekend days are jam packed.  Every class is full.  Just basic gun handling skills.  Pistol and rifle.
