22 Ammo - Ever think we'd see these prices again?

[Ballistic Therapy]

I shoot more .22 than anything else.
I started buying .22 back when it was $10 a brick. Any time it went on sale I would buy a brick or two.
I still have some that I paid less than $10 for.
I have never been short of .22 ammo.

Talk about sticker shock. I had stocked up back when bricks were $5 at Walmart. Then got out of shooting for awhile. Years go by and I get back into shooting and start to burn through my stockpile. After another couple years I figure it's time to pick some more up but hadn't been paying attention to prices. Was QUITE shocked to find it was now $15 a brick, almost got into it for being over charged.

Buy it cheap and stack it deep. The pricing might not last.

QFT! Im still nursing 22 and 556 from before the panic...

Time to search for CCI blazer. Is an economical round that fire about 100% in 627

I was just up in Oregon and they had the 333 boxes and 525 round boxes of ammo stacked high and deep in the walmarts. I cant remember the prices on them as they were very reasonable, cheaper than here.

Federal 550 packs are $19.94 in Phoenix area Walmarts.

I might add that I'm much more selective on what I'll buy these days as well. During the great rimfire drought I'd buy most anything that was reasonably priced. Not these days as, ever since 22 rf has become more available again, I'll only buy CCI Mini-mags or Blazer. Other brands just aren't worth it to me anymore.

CCI Blazers run perfectly in all my rimfires and priced very well for zero malfunctions ($25 @ 500 rds). Was just about to pick up another brick at Cabelas and they are currently out.

Finally has fallen from $55 back to $42! I just couldn't resist, even though I'm pretty well stocked up now. Will NEVER be without a stockpile again!

I just got 5000 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity for $199 delivered from Brownells this week.

Now THAT was a deal lol!

No, I never thought we would. I remember standing in line at Walmart at 0700, waiting to see if any .22 ammo had come in.
As Scarlett O'Hara said: "As God is my witness, I will never be without ammo again!"
