    kFinally started seeing .22LR prices starting to fall.....

    Went to two gunshows yesterday. There was plenty of .22LR in the tables. The best price I saw was $32 for a brick of Remington. There were numerous other bricks priced at $35 to $50. Too bad I remember buying some Winchester bricks for $8.70. Doubt that it will ever get back to that, but it is starting to come down. Thanks Trump.

    I'm still waitin' for the gougers & hoarders to have to start puttin' it in a bowl & pourin' milk on it for their breakfast. then maybe the bass-turds will stop waitin' on the truck to show up at Wally-World and the people that want it to actually shoot will be able to buy some.

    I get emails from online dealers on 22's and their "wholesale" prices are higher than I can go to Academy sports and buy them.

    It's everywhere but not at Walmart. I don't need it. I hoarded all mine prior to BHO.

    Geez, I must really be old. I've got a couple of old cardboard boxes in the garage from bricks of Blazers purchased from Bi-Mart, $3.49. Couldn't find a price on the Winchester Wildcats or the Remington Thunderbolts.

    I have several boxes of 50 from the 90's that have $.99 price tags on them. I saw CCI quiet 22 at Wallyworld today for $3.37 a box of 50. They had CCI Maxi-Mag 22WMR for $13.50 per 50. A couple of weeks ago they had CCI mini mags for $7.37 for a hundred round box. You may say all you want about Wallyworld but their prices for ammo is hard, no very hard to beat. They consistently have 9mm for under $10 a box of 50.
    Yay Wallyworld.

    Still none that I've seen in Walmart or any area gun stores for over three years. Broke down and bought a brick of CCI Mini-Mags last year and it was $61 after shipping. Never again...

    Still waiting to see .22 ammo at Walmart here in southern California. I'm thinking that when its always on the shelves at everyone's Walmart, that great .22 drought will be over!

    Last time I bought .22LR, the 500-round brings were around $7-8 for the Remington Thunderbolts and Federal. When they get back down to that price, I'll break out my .22LR firearms from the back of my gun safe. Until then, they are "in exile" since I can reload .38 / 9mm / .357 for cheaper than they are asking for .22LR ammo these days. And besides, when I'm making cheap loads for those calibers, they are quieter than .22LR anyway.

    I did see quite a few 100-round packs at Wal-Mart the other day though. I guess that's a sign that they're coming back.

    the last 22's I bought was at wal-mart they were like 17.00 for some federal little milk carton looking containers.
    I was paying that for the AM eagle 400 count boxes not too long ago.
    I just gave a buddy of mine a brick of those eagles cause he couldn't find any of those around here.

    This is EXACTLY the problem!! I was recently in a discussion about this, a guy asked 'WHERE IS ALL THE .22 SHELLS?' My reply was 'Check your Basement'! I gave up on rimfire and went to air rifles, i bought a .177 and .22, doubtful i will ever own another rimfire, VERY DOUBTFUL. The hoarders in line at Wally can have mine!!

    I shot about 25 rounds of .22lr yesterday for the first time in probably a year. I keep one handy for varmints, but haven't shot it just for fun in a long, long time.

    On the other hand, I have two little girls that are approaching shooting age. The oldest is already showing a keen interest in shooting dad's guns. So I probably need to start getting serious about .22lr ammo again. I have a nice pile of it, but that's my problem: Back when I was stockpiling it, I bought enough to last *my* lifetime. Didn't plan for what the kids might shoot.

    I must be older than dirt, try $3.12 for a brick of federal shorts....couldn't give a guess how many bricks I shot at that price. My neighbor when I was a kid worked at the Chevy transmission plant in Toledo, a store across from the plant sold them. I think he was picking me up a brick every other week.
