I found Federal Champion .22 LR 40 grain LRN Ammo for $2.50 a box of 50 (with tax).

Is .05 a round the "buy it now" price?

I'd fo
$0.03 is my ideal price, but an extra two pennies per round doesn't hurt that bad

At least around me... <$30/500 is what I use for my BiN price.  I might get a couple boxes if it's more than that, but will only buy more if it's under that.  I've passed up a lot of overpriced .22 in the past few months.

2.50 a box is fair. In my area I have only found 22 on the shelf three times since 2012 and each time it was more expensive than that ( am not even counting the scalper shop that put out Remington crap at 6 plus bucks a box)

It's $2.29 - 2.49 @ SW not incl my 5% .mil discount.  Average box of 50 is $2.21.  SW has Fed 36 gr? 200 rds (4 boxes) ran $10.74 OTD  Those prices are not too bad considering last time we purchased 22 it was $16-18 for a fed 550 BP.

Got an email from Brownell's that said they had no limit quantities of  CI plated 40 grain HV 500 rd bricks for only $60/brick. I passed on that price, still too rich for me, especially for a brand I have never heard of made in Mexico. The upside is that there does finally seem to be some movement is .22 rimfire availability.

I've recently purchased 4 Remington Golden Bullet 525 round boxes for $24.99 each as well as 2 American Eagle 38gr copper plated HP 400 round bricks for $23.99 each. All on the shelf at Cabelas.

Up until about 3 weeks ago I haven't seen any reasonably priced 22 on a shelf in 2 or 3 years.

Appears that it is made by CCI in Mexico.
But I agree, why so pricy?

It's too stop it from being sold out instantly.  If it continues the price will eventually go down.

They have to pay Americans to commute as the local help has relocated north.

That isn't the best price ever, but it shoots really well out of my Charger, my CZ452, and my Marlin 60, so, yeah, I would buy it now.

5 cents a round is my max.

Tax is very high here like 8.25%

The price is $2.29, which if you don't count tax is 4.6 cents a round.

If it is Federal 510 I would buy. 745 or 750 I would pass.

Because they aren't going to sell it at a loss, and we have to pay to import it. This is good stuff the LGS I work at got several hundred thousand rounds of this. It is higher priced then the domestic stuff but it shoots well. It is on par with CCI mini mag in reliability and accuracy. I have a couple boxes sitting on my ammo shelf.

Yeah I hear ya.
Figured it was good stuff.
I would be game to try it at 40-45 a brick.
60, I'll pass.
My stockpile is 95% CCI so I'm definately a fan off theirs.

I just bought 500 rounds of CCI at the grand opening of the new Bass Pro Shop in Tacoma for about 8 cents a round. That's the first time I've purchased 22LR since a year before Sandyhook. The last purchase was a nickel a round for American Eagle.

Just bought 2x2 more boxes of Remington Thunderbolt, 5 cents a round w/tax over two days (2 box limit).

It says it is made by Cascade Cartridge International.
Same company, just a Mexico venture no?
Just curious.

CCI was started in Lewiston, Idaho in the 50's as Cascade Cartridge, Inc. The Mexican CCI has currently no relation what so ever with the US CCI.
I suspect the Mexican Cascade Cartridge International was a short lived venture.

Interesting info, thanks.

5 cents per round is a good price these days.  I've been buying Mini Mags for 8 cents, but I probably shoot less than 500 rounds of .22lr a year.  I haven't tried the Federal Champions, but I am having big problems with the brick of Winchester Super x 36gr HP that I bought in September.  You know, the one Cabela's sells in the wooden boxes.

Bass Pro in Sevierville, TN had the Federal 40-Grain 50 count solids for $2.39 limit three this weekend. They had several dozen boxes when I purchased mine. They also had the CCI Swamp People CCI 300 count for $24.99. Federal's were a better deal. My wife and daughter also bought three boxes each!

I just looked through that ammoseek.com engine and the price for any available CCI minimag .22 LR is still  pretty stupid.  

I don't see the prices and availability coming back  to normal at all yet.  

And, yes, I suspect that  many members of this board are sitting on 100.000-round hoards of .22 LR ammo.  

So I guess we are part of the problem too.

Shame on us.

Wideners has CCI Quiet-22 in stock for $44.95 a brick. Didn't see a limit.
Ordered a couple yesterday to enjoy some sub sub sonic out of the Henry.
