    22 ammo?

    Can 22lr ammo be found around at a fair price? Some around here is pricy or hard to find.

    When Trump got in and the price went down , I got some on line. You can check places on line to see if it will work for you .

    It has returned to some degree but it seems like 7 cents a round is the cheapest. Haven’t looked since the Middle East blow up and here in NYS since 9/13 one has to pay $2.50 for a NYSP background check so ammo sales have slowed down to a crawl.

    That's right Shawlerbrook. Everything's has gone crazy in the last few years. Take me back to the old prices.

    Hard to tell with this one as NYS has ammo on ever store shelf around. Loads of it. Just can not get any since most stores still can not do the new required background check.

    I stocked up a bit while trump was in office. Now after looking back I have almost gave up on buying ammo.
    Stop being blinded by your own ignorance.

    This is under 6.5 cents/round. About as good as it gets now. Target Sports is a good company to deal. I have bought from them in the past. They have other .22 ammo if you want something else/better.

    If you cannot get ammunition shipped to you, have it sent to a friend/relative in a neighboring state.

    My local Walmart has various items in stock for about as low as .07 cents per round. Online, I can order it for about .05 cents,...BUT,...the hazmat fee for shipping it eventually increases the cost back upward towards .07 cents. I just recently ordered about 2000 rounds of Aguila that was .037 cents,...but after shipping, it came out to .067 cents. But I like Aguila's product, so I pulled the trigger on it.

    There is HazMat on 22rf? They forgot to charge me. Maybe I better check the fine print to see if was tucked in the total.

    .22's (Rifle and pistols) are in the gun safe due to high cost of .22 LR's. It costs me $.014 per round (or less) to reload .223 rounds (range pick up brass, home remanufactured Small Rifle Primers, Home Swaged 60 grain jacketed bullets from range pick up 22LR brass for Jackets, Powder is the 98% cost. My .223's provide far more flexibility for 0 to 500 yards - focused on 0 to 300 Yards - compared to 22LR at 0 to 100 yards.

    I have a considerable level of 22LR's put aside in case I should prices make them competitive to me again, for training the Grandkids in shooting, ever need them, or.....


    If an opportunity to buy at $0.04 ea, should arrive; I would add to my shelf of 22LR's.

    What you said Shawler, no fee on ammo.

    It's around .07 -.08 cents about these parts.
    Some is a tad more.

    Where I'm at it does come in, but is sold very quickly, so usually there is none on the shelf unless you just happen to hit it right.

    When prices hit .04-.05 per round, I loaded up each time it bounced that low. In the meantime I got old and lost my wife of 56 years, so I don't think I've shot a single round in the last year and a half.
