The only boxes of .22 LR I have seen in this part of Texas were at an out-of-the-way gun store. They had about 20 boxes of 50 for $5 a piece. I have two 550’s on back order from Bass Pro Shops from a gift card I received at Christmas. We will see if anything shows up.
Holy Carp! I'm still shooting up stuff I bought for about $0.70/box.
