22 LR prices

[Jled]

My walmart in Buford had bricks of golden bullets for $21 each last week. I bought my limit of three that morning. If you can be lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, box box retailers and quality gun stores still have .22 for close to pre-newtown prices.

I know golden bullets kinda suck but my mark iii isn't really that picky lol.

I let a good friend borrow my Ruger MKII bull barrel. He's in his 70's and wanted to get back into shooting. He had a friend who was going to work with him.

I'd forgot about it until my son asked to borrow it. I looked for the pistol, but couldn't find it. Then I remembered I'd let my friend borrow it. Called him and he said come on over. When he gave it back, it was cleaned and lubed. Best part, he gave me 950 rounds of ammo. I said no, but he insisted. He also gave me two five gallon buckets of brass. About half was .50 BMG.

Couldn't believe it.

4.8 CENTS A ROUND is what they should run you when you buy them from big box stores, This is why mom and pops cant stay in bizz these days, I say if they cant sell them for what the big box stores are selling for then dont sell them at all. Now this is just 22 that I am talking about

I bought plenty for 4.8 a round from the BB stores just last week.

When yall quit buying them for 40 and 50 bucks a 500 it will starve out those flippers. I got the flippers and the stores figured out in coweta county and while I dont go in all the time with a big group of people I have been buying my share of three boxes every single time I go in the stores here latley.

But I should add I have been trying for a year to figure them out.


I am not a flipper and will not sell my hoard.

I have seen people call 225, 333 as well as 550 "bricks", you have to be careful if you want to buy it private sale too make sure some nimrod isn't selling less than 500 and calling it a brick.

4 cents around is plenty for .22 bulk ammo. If I needed some, I wouldn't let 5 bucks keep me from buying but less than or around 20 a box of 500 or 555 is what it would take for me to pick up any more than what I already have. I wouldn't buy from a flipper even at half normal retail (2 cents a round) when they get to the point of dumping their stash just because. Prices will go back to normal...possibly even less when the flipping stops and stores are suddenly watching dust collect. Walmart in particular won't let anything sit for long.

Are you saying that people that call anything other than a 500 round box, containing ten 50 round boxes a brick, is a nimrod? LMFAO

I was with a friend just before Christmas at a wal-mart and he bought a 1000 round double brick for $54.99 plus tax but they only had one in stock and the clerk in sporting good said he had no idea it was in the glass case as they have not had .22lr in months !!

So at $58.84 it breaks down to almost six cents per round in wally world for the M-22 Winchester Black Box stuff.

Best I could find today on ammo seek was .07 a round. I just can't seem to find it cheaper than that.

No matter what per round cost you see in store or online you still have to add taxes and for online the good old shipping costs. I shoot a lot of 22LR with my daughter and her friends. So I have bought a lot the last few years when I could find it and 6 or 7 cents a round delivered is about the best I get.

Was at Barnes and Nobles this weekend reading various gun rags and came across this article on the .22 shortage:
