Glad to see the .22 availability coming back. We have a trip to F&F planned for tomorrow; I’ll check their inventories and let you know if I remember.
We stockpiled before the last go-round with lack of inventory, but having more ammo never hurts. :)
I am kind of changing my strategy, though; I’m currently stockpiling Scotch and Hand Grenades. ;)
I’ve got 525 round bulk packs of Remington .22 with $9.95 price stickers on them.
There is still no .22LR or .22 magnum at my Walmart.
If is available at some retailers for a premium, but not at a reasonable price yet.
Not where I’m from. North Georgia in Jasper. My Walmart doesn’t keep 22 LR or magnums but for a day max. They have a huge selection now of other caliber ammunition, but that 22 stuff is rare as hens’ teeth - STILL.
The problem is that these manufacturers STILL like those 10-15 cent per round prices and they are loathe to give them up although nothing has changed for them economically other than those resellers willing to screw their customers.
So, from my perspective, Walmart always strives for the best price and these manufacturers like CCI are unwilling to continue to make ammunition at reasonable prices. Good ammo, for sure but their manufacturer got very used to high prices is my take.
I went to Cabela’s here in MA and they were stocked to the rafters with ammo, every caliber you could want including .22 ammo in bulk.
You know what’s missing in that picture? CCI Mini-Mags! Make more Mini-Mags. They are the currency of the future.
There was a story a few months ago that lefties were stocking up on guns and ammo, more fake news
The .22 scam is the same as the 9mm scam of the early 2000’s. A box of Winchester USA brand ammo (100 round value pack of 9x19, 115 gr FMJ) was selling for $11 at Walmart. Once the Iraq war started, the price shot up to $20 and has stayed there for years, even though the war (effectively) ended years ago. The thing is, the ammo companies have adjusted to the huge new profits and consumers have adjusted to the new price. Same goes for .22 ammo. They are laying people off because they don’t want prices to go back to normal.
Oh, I guess with BO gone, the gub’mint ain’t buying up millions of rounds anymore?????
I’m not sure how this is happening, since his election I took to the range (My backyard) again and have been popping off rounds and getting back into practice.
When the dipsh!t was in office, we were stockpiling and not practicing so much.
“Following the election of President Trump, demand for ammunition has dropped...”
Wait until the BLM/Black Block Rioting Season kicks into high gear.
Most likely is that centerfire round sales are down and that is what is being cut back.
How many cases of 5.56 are sitting unopened in people’s basements?
Whatever rounds are plentiful are the ones whose production will decrease. 22lr will still be produced at record rates until demand equals supply.
I switched to 22 air rifle and am quite pleased with the results.
