The .22 bubble is gradually deflating.

Cabelas had 22lr on the shelves yesterday. >$.05 if I recall correctly.

My local Wallymart is out still and other types of ammo are in short supply again. I suspect poor order management - not a shortage.

I really hope you’re right on the October prediction.

All three of my local (mid-Michigan) WalMarts have full ammunition cases with the exception of .22.

The price is going down from my favorite online sources, however. at $0.10 per round I wasn’t a buyer, but when it get to $0.05 or lower, I’m in.

Local Gander Mtn had a display of ~ 100 boxes of CCI Std Velocity at $4.00/box of 50.

I was visiting the local WalMart here in N. Myrtle Beach and asked the attendant about .22LR. He was in the process of ordering more. However, he was only allowed to order 1 box. He had one box on the shelf and could order only one box. Fortunately, he had plenty of the caliber that I wanted.

If I went to Walmart every single day for two months, I am afraid that I would go insane.

One thing I love about Mrs. FATC is her pragmatism. I was organizing our ammo box this weekend, called her in to show her my work, and noted that we had 9000 rounds of .22. She commented that it seems like we’re almost “half full on .22.” Gotta love a woman who wants a minimum 20,000 rounds lying around.

In fairness, we go through about 5000-6000 rounds a year, but the Obama years really bit into our reserves. So nice to be able to find bulk packs again.

My local gun shop has Remington 550 round bricks again. They’re nearly $40 a box but it’s the first time I’ve seen them since about 2010. Hopefully local Walmart will start carrying them again. Doubt they’ll ever be <$20 again, though.

WOW! 333 rounds per box! Easier to grasp! Won’t tip over! Not like the old boxes with 500 rounds for the same price!

Natchez Shooting Supplies has .22LR and just about everything else. They ship by UPS right to your door for most states.

Been buying from them since 2009 with no issues. Bulk .223, .38. .45, .357 and 9mm at reasonable prices.

Load up!

Too many shooters per square foot in this valley. The .22LR supply would have to triple to relieve buyer pressure.

The .22 bubble is gradually deflating.

Not here in California where a brick of 500 goes for $90+
