lol..picked these up today, store had piles of the matches, I remember awhile back , they were impossible to find due to wussification of America and the shoe bomber or something like that.
And I dont seem to have any issue finding .22lr ammo, let alone CCI, paid $44 bux for the box, which seems to be the new standard, if you want to shoot, you have to pay. The days of .80 box of 50 are long gone. Store had a few hundred CCI mini mags in 36 & 40gr. along with some other .22 ammo. 
Just thought id share

is $45 per brick really what CCI SV is going for these days?
ETA: thats almost exactly what it costs for me to reload the same quantity of 9mm

Those strike anywheres are not like the ones from 20 years ago.
They seem to just "suck less" than the standard matches they sell now. |

Good luck with those matches. They are a sorry imitation of the real thing. I bought some thinking like you. They suck.
The real ones you could drop down the barrel of a daisy spring powered BB gun and fire down the driveway. They would light and you could enjoy sending flames flying into the yard when you were 8 years old.

As far as the strike anywheres, yea, I know they arent the same, hence I only bought 2 boxes, lol. I do miss the old school ones, they literally would light on anything. |

With the prices the way they are, reloading 9mm is just as cheap, if not cheaper, than 22lr. It's probably been 3 years since I fired a 22. |

Yip, at some point, out of stock versus in my hands, price dont matter much, walmart ammo could be 1/2 the cost but if they dont have it, means nothing. I shoot ALOT of .22lr, being able to walk out my back porch and plink steel makes it all worth while. lol.

I happened to be in Walmart today and they had 3 Winchester 333 bulk packs on the shelf. I bought a box of it and some other ammo as well, and after the ordeal I went through, I understand why they were still on the shelf. The neckbeards must have given up through sheer frustration.
It took 5 tries and 20 minutes to get someone over to the ammo counter, and when they got there, they didn't have the keys. When the cabinet was finally opened, they had to call over a manager to log them into the cash register. |

It was worth it to buy that much at once and know it is good ammo. |

Bucks for the same .22 at academy. A warning for parents. If you buy your kids guns they expect ammo too. Bought my daughter a 22/45 last year. I'm down to 4-5000 rds of .22 lr. Started buying again. All those $10. Federal bulk packs.

I also used to make rubber band guns, fasten the rubber band to the end and shoot strike anywhere matches from it like a spear gun. The matches would make a loud pop when they hit a hard surface head on. Could shoot them out of bic pens like a blow gun as well. Good times. |

Meanwhile I just bought the same CCI rounds at $28.00! Way to overpay and keep the scalping & shortage going.
Bought my limit of 3 and they were gone in 45 minutes. My wife bought 3, my buddy came by and bought 3... Rinse repeat. |

I've still not seen 22 ammo at the Walmarts here.
CCI SV is still at least $50 a brick. Any 22 ammo here is great to see. I buy online if I buy. |

i dunno if these are the good ones . but they make a nice pop when hitting a brick wall shot from the red ryder.
I have 10 boxes put away. and an open one. pretty much do light wherever I strike them as long as a firm surface. .
