LOL If you buy the box you are ripped off

but if you don't you could be sol. $:-\$

I got myself 6 presents for a mere !5 bucks.

I just happen to be checking out the ammo counter
and the nice lady was just then opening the new shipment.
There is usually a line of people, 5X the number of boxes for sale.
I hit right-- no one but me and her She had a total of 8 boxes.
She said I could buy 3. I got two

I posted this because there were some .22 questions
on another thread. BTW I live in Northern VA

Do you have a "Shortage" of .22 in your area? I have a store a block from my work that has about 75,000 rounds on the shelf of .22

That's great Jojo. Are .22 rifles banned where you live. lol
What is the price for 100.
There is a shortage here and I know there was in Indiana.
I thought it was national. I heard it was because the
goverment closed the lead smelting plants???
There ain't to much available in the other ammo either.
Mullet mention there is plenty in FL?

Where I live in FL there is indeed plenty of ammo, you walk into a Walmart or Academy and buy a Bucket O' Bullets no problem.

HAHA, no, no .22 bans. It was hard to find for a long time. Some places it still is.

This place is downtown, so not a lot of rural trips.

You might want to change that link Jojo. Can't post comercial websites like that on PA

Sorry, where's my head?

On another note, they don't seem to actually sell anything off of their site!

Here in Missouri, .22 got about as hard to find as hens teeth! But recently I'm starting to see a few more around. Which is nice, I'm tired of walking into a store and seeing the no 22 amo sings.

Still courious as to what you all are paying.
If that info is ok.
I paid 7.50 for 300 rounds that's heavy compared
to a couple years ago.

I think my uncle said it was like 8.95 for 100 rounds of cci where he got his at the other day. I had a guy try to sell me a 300 round box at a gun show the other day. He wanted 40 a box.
It's a complete rip-off!

Thanks Patrick
I agree. Just like oil and toilet paper shortages.lol
I'd have paid the $40 for a roll back in 78.

22 ammo is pretty scarce around here, none on the shelves but if you happen to go in Gander Mountain when they restock there will be a little for a few hours then it is gone. Few of the mail order companies have it and the ones that do are double charging for it.

The latest democrat proposal to require background checks for ammo purchases will start hoarding madness back up big time.

I am pretty well stocked up except for 22 mag. I am not paying the $28-40 a box for mail order ammo that I normally buy for around $12.

This is the reason that it is hard to find. People think it is going away and stockpile it. My Father in law has about 30,000 rounds. He is retired and gets to Cabelas every morning that they have a shipment. He buys the max amount he can, every week. It is more expensive due to the masses hoarding it. Supply and demand.
