Wow. I paid $7.95 for 50 rounds the other day.
I remember when I started stockpiling 22, I was paying $7.95 for 100 rounds. Just about $35 for 500 rounds.
But the Fed says there is no inflation.
This is great news! Indeed, a hugh and series development.
I just hope an industry-wide price drop is in the near future.
Had given up checking the ammo case at Wallyworld, but think I better start looking again.
I’ve got a couple parcels of Ag land that is now overrun with jack rabbits. If I can get my hands on some reasonably priced 22 ammo I can take care of the problem.
I bought my first box (50 rds) of .22 ammo back in 1962. It cost 45 cents in Carlsbad NM. I was 15 years old. Now I have to be 21 years old to get the same ammo.
Saw Winchester 50 rds for sale at Cabelas for 9.99 a box last week.
I will continue to use up my old Federal I bought twenty years ago.
Check Academy Sports too, if you have one. They’ve been recently getting in .22 also - at good prices. Usually limited to 2 small boxes or one bulk, however.
They had a fairly decent selection of other handgun and rifle ammo as well as shotgun shells, but no .22LR at all. There probably are still some early morning resellers coming in and buying it up whenever some happens to become available.
Fortunately I still have an OK inventory from pre-Obama times.
The fact that there has been a difficult time getting a very coveted product on the shelves in America for the past 6 years now is a sign of decline.
Academy in Plano off the DNT and Parker on black friday had blazer 50rd boxes at 2.69 a box limit 500 rounds at 9am I bought 500 rds Friday and another 500 Saturday. My M4-22 and G2G 1911 will burn that in an afternoon at bullet trap.
