Even higher on some ammo. 6 months ago, I bought a tin of Russian 7.62 X 39 for about $116. Today, you can find the same or equivalent going for about 4 times that. It’s crazy! I can’t find 22LR that doesnt cost a dollar a round anywhere. Most places don’t have it, can’t tell you when they’ll get it.

Yesterday at WM, I’d just bought three boxes (customer limit) of 45 ACP, 38 Special and 380 ACP. Another employee who’d waited for me to make my purchase then got with the cashier and told him he wanted three boxes of the shipment the guy hadn’t put out yet (presumably just arrived).

It was 4 boxes of 500 round (big ones) of 22LR...he bought three of them.

I have about 7000 rds of 22 on the shelf. Where I have a shortage is in the bigger calibers. When I have money I can’t find it.

WM's price for .223 here in central AZ is $8.03 for a box of 20 - when they have them, which seems to be about 7 AM on Saturday once a month - and of course you can only buy 3 boxes.

Walmart here hasn't had any .22LR since November. The only .22LR I've seen for 3 months is cheap 40 grain Wildcats at $5.00 per box at a local gun store.
