Cabelas has been having spectacular sales on some of the better .22 bulk ammo. I have seen the Federal 36 grain HP high velocity 375 round bulk pack on sale for $9.99. That is only 2.6 cents a round. Reviews of the Federal ammo have been quite good. The Cabelas sale seems to be an on again, off again type of thing. I have seen it on for several weeks of the last three months.
I purchased several thousand rounds as I used up the last of the Remington Peters .22 that I bought about 1980. Thirty year old .22 ammo worked great.
One of my “super” Wal-Marts here have had similar prices, if not better. Strange that they don’t sell firearms anymore.
