I was in the local mom & pop gunshop yesterday just chattin' with the owners. UPS showed up with a delivery. I helped Harold open the boxes and inventory the shipment. Two bricks of standard velocity CCIs were in it. I bought one on the spot.

I went to a large sporting goods store in Ashland the other day and they were loaded with .22 ammo. I picked up two more boxes of bulk Blazer ammo for $16.99 each. Now if you were looking for .223 ammo, good luck, I heard they were totally sold out of that and only had 5 AR15 rifles in the whole store, and saw people walking out with some as I was there.

[PS Paul]

We have only been able to get .22 bricks sporadically. I was able to get a pallet of 9mm FMJ (which was sold out in two hours....) and some bulk CCI 375 round "bricks", oddly enough, but the 500 rd/ brick is pretty much unobtainable out here in the West.

.223 ammo is wiped and we cannot buy any more period. At this point, I sure am glad I have been stocking up on powder, PRIMERS(!) and lead for a while. After '08, I pledged to myself I would NEVER be in the situation I see so many others suffer from lack of foresight and/or preparation.

Good times., and it's gonna get more sparse before it gets better.

Here it never did catch back up for 22's. You had to be at the store when it came in or you wold not get any.

[HARRYMPOPE]

I have been picking up bricks of Blazer when it goes on sale the last few months.Now the store says it cant even get a delivery schedule from its supplier.

Plenty of .223, and .22 LR at local Wally Worlds, and most other other shops. Never any shortage here in KY for some reason.

None available at Walmart here.

Only takes one shot, just sayin. They wont have to worry about getting primers..................>LoL

Was through the Cabelas near Wheeling WV a couple of weeks ago, before the Newtown incident. Plenty in stock there. Bought a brick of Wolf Match, which I was surprised to even see it there. Normally I have to go by Champion Supply for it. What it's like now I can't say. No need to go that way again until February or March. The panic seems to be over 5.56/223, anyway. Over 90 cents a round for milsurp on Gunbroker this afternoon.

I like your "old coach" avatar.

We used to get SK in gold boxes for $12 a brick in the late 1990's trough the club.It was priced about $2-$3 more a brick than CCI Blazer. Wolf took it over and it's $50 or more.It ticks me off still how much they jumped up the price.it sure shoots good though.

I like you old coach avatar.

You're the first to recognize it. What the prize is I don't know.

[HARRYMPOPE]

I read them all when i shot small-bore.It never got very good but i sure enjoyed it.

Here in central California I can't find much rimfire ammo. The only place I can find bulk ammo is big 5 sporting goods and they want 27.99 for federal bulk pack.

the walmart's around here are sold out off bricks, they have alot of mini mag's and the smaller 50rd. box stuff. two week's ago they had plenty of the tula .223 ammo, now there's nothing. of course deer season is still open too, so that don't help it either. i went to a local mom n pop gun/pawnshop that always has a good selection of everything, he said he sold out of Ar and Ak mag's in one day, and he only a few boxes of .223 left. i've mainly been buying buckshot and birdshot for the 12g. i don't reload for that, but plan on buying the stuff to get started.

I was in 2 Wal-Marts today in two different towns.At both locations the story was the same. Out of bulk pack 22RF both Federal and remington.They both had a few CCI 100 round plastic boxes.
Sporting good mangers in both store said that their warehouse is out and they don't expect any in till sometime in March.

Was in Bass Pro in Springfield MO yesterday and all they had was Winchester 500 round bricks in wooden boxes for 25.00 dollars.................Terry

This is the only bulk 22LR I could find online. I ordered 10 boxes and consider it taking a chance based on the mixed reviews. At the very least my 5-year-old can enjoy it while I shoot my stash on Federal and Blazer bulk rounds.

I have shot that Fed 38g HP and It wasn't too bad. Its just the bricks are only 400 rounds.

My local Walmart is out of all the 22 and most of the other stuff.
