Before the bubble, .22 ammunition capacity was closely ballanced to demand, at about 4 billion rounds a year. Now production has increased to over 5 billion rounds a year, and is just starting to satisfy demand.

"4 million .22 rimfire rounds a day."

So, every American gets a round every 75 days?

I was a border. I confess to buying up all I could. With $h!t-for-brains in the whitehouse over the past 8 years I got what I could when I could of rounds I couldn’t reload (like rimfires) and reloading components.

Around 6 months ago, I was in a Walmart near the gun section. An old man walked up to the counter and asked for a box of .22 ammo.

To my surprise, the girl reached under the counter and pulled out a 50 round box. She asked how many and he replied “just one.”

I had plenty and was not interested in purchasing any but it was almost funny that they had plenty but were keeping it hid.

I can finally buy .22LR CCI Mini Mags for under 8¢ a round.

No limit at Cabela’s or Walmart. Cabela had them for $3.99/box of fifty.

I really miss the days of being able to buy a brick of W/W Wildcat .22LR on sale at K-Mart for $6.99, normally $9.99.

Of course we'll never see those prices again, but I pine for a time when I can shoot 100 rounds for $2.00. Right now, most .22LR I find is about $3.50 or more for just 50 rounds. :-(

I miss being able to afford to shoot a brick or more of .22LR over a weekend. Hopefully this will help bring prices down to a more reasonable level.
