I travel around Texas dealing with hardware stores, many of which carry ammo. I also stop into gun stores and pawn shops every chance I get. I’ve been seeing .22 come back in good quantity, and the price has been steadily dropping.
Have him get shot in the head next time, and he won’t have time enough to get mad, cuz he will be dead.
I have been seeing much the same. I expected prices to drop faster, but the politics and demand from new shooters is keeping the bubble inflated.
Lots available in Alberta. I always buy 1000 every trip to the store.
I read an interesting article where the guy’s idea that .22 ammo should be treated as a commodity like gasoline or milk.
If the price was allowed to fluctuate with supply and demand the ammo makers would be the profit takers and take out the out of work price gougers who camp out in WalMart.
“Since I cannor reload .22...”
Actually, you can. It’s just a more involved and longer process than center fire ammo. If you do some searching online, you can find the company that sells the dies. There’s a few videos and articles on how to go about it.
“CCI Mini-mag is good stuff.”
“The Mini-Mags were in plastic 100 round boxes at $7.47 a box.”
Darn right, good stuff. I can’t remember ever having a FTF or FTE with the Mini-Mag
I’ve paid much less than that, but I’d pay that in a heartbeat.
Of course, only if I were stockpiling ammo, that is.
You beat me with your reply ;) (re: reloading .22)
After Jan 1, many Californians will drive to other states to buy ammo. Dad lives in Reno and I visit him often.
Curious as to the brand and price for the 1000 rounds.
I foresee a thriving black market in ammunition in California.
It is not serialized. I guess that will be the next step.
During the attempted Reagan assassination there were 6 shots fired from a cheap RG 22, 4 people hit, 3 on the ground and one will never walk again. Start poking holes in somebody and it’s a game changer.
James Brady died in 2014.
That’s why I like the 22 K-Hornet. Load it down to practically nothing if you want.
Yeah, he must have been a tough guy. A 22 cannot kill. In the whole history of the round maybe 2 or three people have died from it.
By the way, maybe you could ask Reagan, Bobby Kennedy, or the British politician a week ago what they think about 22s.
Or if you wanna feel extra stupid, go find a farmer or rancher and ask him if a 22 has any use, or if its harmless.
I never said 22s could not be reloaded, I said I cannot.
If you can, go right ahead. I do not have the time or inclination for that exercise in brain damage.
Sheesh. Some folks just have to show us how smart they are.
Well, he’ll never walk again.
well, you know what they say,
Dead men don’t walk.
