.22lr is back

[GunnyGene]

Looks like .22lr is back around me. The Airforce Exchange gun counter got in a lot of Aguila Super Extra 40grn plated RN in the last few days, so I picked up 4 250rnd bricks this morning. They were rationing .22lr a few weeks ago, but no more. The counter girl said I could have as much as I could carry out. A little pricey @12cents/rnd, but I don't shoot a lot so this should last me a year or so, without dipping into my HP. Tried it out and it shoots fine in my .22's (Savage 6a, Sig 1911-22, & Buckmark), so I'm happy.

Other calibers/gauges were also in abundance, except for .22wmr, .41 mag, and a few other low volume others, due to manufacturers focus on the popular stuff - gotta make the money while you can I reckon.

That is good news.

Yep there was quite bit of it at my LGS went I stopped by. Lots of CCI 22 LR standard and CB's plus other brands. Even saw some Eley brand!

All good stuff.

22 prices have been flexing lately, I've found 500 for $40 and just a couple days later it is $79. Starting to horde when I see it on sale.

A couple weeks ago it was Remington but lately Aguila or Armscor. Forgive the spelling if its incorrect.

We’ve had .22 for a bit now. Wally World has had a constant supply of CCI Standard. Now Mini Mags are coming in. Three box limit per customer per day. But they also have bulk - so you could get near a thousand rounds in three boxes. The three box limit is good so people don’t buy them out. I get three boxes of CCI or toss in a box of Winchester every time I’m there. Wife buys three boxes for me on occasion. I had a pretty god stash anyway - so three boxes at a time is fine. Rural King has a ton of Norma which I have’t tried yet. Aguilahas remained available throughout at Orscheln’s. Every trip to the neighboring town and a few boxes return home with me. Getting ready for the next shortage I suppose.

[Vaquero]

Yea it has around here also, and I've been picking up a few boxes here and there.
Probably around 3k of late. 1500 Norma Tac-22 straight from them for about half what I could find it locally and that was with shipping.
Then the standard CCI's, Aquila 40 gr, and a few CCI Stinger.

Before things went sideways, I found a good amount of Aquila 40gr HV. Eley primed. Shoots pretty good in the 39A and 25N. Think I'm set for .22lr.

Hey Tom I have one of those 25N's, and the the mag version a 25MN.
Pretty nice shooters mine are.

On the CCI site you have been able to buy the mini mags for .12 each for a while with free shipping. The also have 22 WMR and 17 HMR

[Sir Henry]

I’ve stopped at Walmart now for three days straight to get my limit. I had a lot of ammo and gave a lot of it away. Then I left what I had left in Woodinville and won’t be able to pick it up for a month or more. I’m picking my teardrop up in Ephrata next week and it has some rimfire in it. I only took a couple thousand rounds with me in my motor home.

[BigAl52]

What are you finding at Walmart and how much are they asking for it

Yeah, the 25N is a good shooter. I put an older Bushnell"Scopechief" 4x on it I had in a drawer. That improved things. They're good rifles.

[Sir Henry]

The main round is Federal 40 grain RN. 325 rounds for $21.16.

They had some SV CCI and something in a red sleeve which I took to be Winchester. It was all behind the counter and I couldn’t really see. The Federal is what they had the most of.

[BigAl52]

I need to go to Walmart after while Ill check mine but Im betting there isnt any there

[BigAl52]

Well went to Walmart and to my surprise they had quite a bit of the Federal Auto match at the store. I bought 2 boxes at 21.60 each. Thats for 325 rounds

[Vaquero]

Over here in SC visiting the daughter and family, had a chance to get by a local WW this afternoon. Very little 22, had a little bit of other ammo, and shotgun shells.
I grabbed 2 of the CCI standard and the one box of 12 ga. Target loads for $24.96. Best price I've seen this year.

I went to two different Wally worlds and both had Federal rimfire in 325 bulk. I also stopped at Dicks Sporting in Wausau and discovered they don’t sell firearms anymore.
