Looks like 22 LR ammo is slowly coming back

[jeff43]

Been buying it when I can find it at Walmart, only buy the 325 round Federal Automatch.They have been getting it in pretty regular.I hadn’t seen any 550 round Federal packs in a long time , wish they would get some of that in.

I think those 325 round Federal packs are around 7 cents a rounds after tax.

My favorite 22 was discontinued so I was forced to find something else.  The return of 22 let me try a few and I'm happy with the results. 

50 yards.

Better than what shows up so far on Ammoseek and the like.  The cheap stuff starts out at around 9 cents, plus shipping, and goes up from there.  Availability is better, however prices are still elevated.  It took about 12-18 months last time after 22LR and other common calibers started showing up again regularly for prices to fall back significantly, I figure it will be at least that long this time around.  Good thing I subscribe to the old "buy it cheap and stack it deep" philosophy ...

Better price than what I expected from what I've seen online.  Fortunately I stocked on inexpensive (4.5 to 5 cents per round shipped for Aguila SV and CCI SV), and some not so inexpensive (i.e. Eley Tenex), 22LR before prices shot up.

I’ll have to look, I usually stick my receipt in the box. I’m thinking the last 550 federal I bought was around $22-$24  before taxes. Not real sure . I’ll look tomorrow if i can think of it.

Well, obviously you need to pile it higher and deeper, next time ...

Paid almost $24 for Federal 325 round pack Sunday at wallyworld. Academy in Smyrna has Aguilla 300 round packs of 36 gr hollow points and 40 gr solids. about $21 per box, On Target had Aguilla 50 round 40 gr at $4.99 per. Sportsmans Warehouse has bulk packs too, can't remember the priceon those. I picked up a couple boxes of 208 gr sub sonic sig ammo for my .300 blk at $32.99 a box.

 That's strange, our Wal-Mart has them for $21.95 + tax.

I'd check again if I was you, often times what's on our Wal-Mart shelves doesn't match the tag on the shelf below it.

Probably those 300 round packs of the Winchester Super X yellow boxes. They are $40 or $41

This is what the Federal Auto Match is going for at the Walmarts in Knoxville. I’ve bought about 10 of these in the last 3 months.

Sportsman's Warehouse has Aguila 250 rd packs for $14.99. both 36 gr hollowpoint and 40 gr solid. I got one of each. The Murfreesboro store has plenty in stock and the sale runs through Dec 5 I believe.

[billmeek]

Members in east TN can run by Smokey Mountain Knife Works and get CCI SV for $3.69 for a box of 50:

That's 7.38 cents per round (before taxes).
