Cross post from GD, for those that don't venture into that realm. ( Duping myself? )

Stopped at a LGS today and found this:



I grabbed a brick and will probably use a few of the individual 50rd boxes as stocking stuffers.

Cool!  What load is it?  I snagged one of the Christmas 300 packs of SV last year.

Standard Velocity 40gr

I will IM my address........Thanks

I need to look out for those.  I bought some last year in the red Christmas pack for 2015.


Got me some

This....

Ha.
Just realized they have a ground hog Santa.

Had 400 rounds of this sitting in my cart at Midway since last night.

I've got a couple of those from a local place in the past couple weeks, $40 a pop.

$40.00 ?

Not too shabby.

That particular shop usually has CCI SV at $40 a brick and has had a steady supply lately. I believe I have about 4,000 rounds of SV now and some other various stuff that I am trying to get rid of.

I still have 500 rounds left from last year's run.

Picked up a brick of the 2016 Holiday yesterday at my LGS for $42.
I like those reusable containers.

It's so nice to see that much 22LR on the shelf again in stores.

I haven't seen .22lr in years, other than online.

We had them on sale for $29.99 Black Friday weekend. 

ETA: We sold A LOT.

I can't help but think it's sad that a lot of people seem to think $40 for a brick of CCI SV is "not too shabby"

I get that these days, that is the current "not too shabby" price but I can't get over the fact that before the .22LR ammo crunch, I could walk into Dick's any day of the week and buy a brick for $25. I'm pissed that I didn't buy more of it at the time and that my stash is almost gone and if I want more, I will have to start paying the current "not too shabby" price of $40 a brick.

The part that really bothers me is, because most people seem to be so comfortable paying that much for CCI SV .22LR, we probably won't ever see a significant price drop... and I really just don't understand why?

Why is there even still a shortage and stupid high pricing for .22? I've read a number of articles and posts, each with their own different theory as to why but none of them really hold much water IMO? Every other common caliber is back in stock at (or close to) pre-panic pricing. Reloading components are almost back too normal too so what the fuck with 22 ammo?

I miss the days of the $8.88 550 rd bulk packs at Wallyworld. It was a piece of cake to toss one or two of them into the cart each trip in the store, but now buying .22lr is a conscious decision for me. It will cut into the toy fund for anything more than a 100 rd box, at least for me anyway.
