The system works

I've always liked CDNN but now they're right there with CTD. On FB they said they weren't making a dime, they're buying them at this price so they can sell .22 guns. They pretty much got blasted on their FB page with most people saying they are contributing to the problem. I would just soon them say they couldn't get them than to sell at these prices. Is this the new norm? I sure hope not but after 2 years I'm starting to think we'll never go back to the old prices and availability. I'm still in good shape on 22 ammo but I hope something changes soon. I don't have a ton of 22 ammo but I've quit buying it. I think I've bought 2000 rounds in the last 12 months and everything I bought was at old prices.

Same boat here. The only 22lr I buy over $0.08 Is the SK red cans. That said, I have about 2500 rounds of 22lr left and at least one or two more Appleseed events to do this year with two of my boys. It's possible I could exhaust my supply this year. After that, not really sure what I am going to do. Maybe switch to using .223 for the same purpose since I can reload that for about $0.18-0.20 a round. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Edited by jcluff

I cast and shoot my with Blackout for 4.4 cents a shot for subsonic and 7.3 cents a shot for supersonic. 30 caliber is a lot easier to cast for than 22. Might be a little more because prices on primers have went up since I did these calculations but it is still really cheap.

" Evidently, some loser who flags all .22 ammo on Armslist got my listing removed last time because he's angry over the current prices of .22 ammo"

Haha.

 

Lets all flag him because he is complaining his previous ad, that listed a price, was flagged and shut down for being overpriced.

Depends on what it is.

In this market I would consider $30-$35 a brick fair for bulk 22 but if you asked that on Armslist a gouger would no doubt snatch them up to resell.

Maybe you can sell it on here so it goes to a fellow member.

But of course you can ask whatever you want and on here no one will hassle you.

I bought a bulk box of 325 at Acadamy last week it was $18-$19 somewhere around that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with Dolomite - when you can find it at Wal-Mart (damn scalpers), 525 Winchester brick is still ~$25....

add in tax and something for your gas and a bit more for your piggy bank.

 

I know .22 can still be found at reasonable prices - even around Knoxville.  The problem with these scalpers is that they are creating this shortage with their buying and reselling - the manufacturers have repeatedly stated that their production is still at an all time high.  It also doesn't help that a person who wouldn't normally "hoard" ammo wouldn't think twice about buying extra now - adding to the problem.

 

I long for the good 'ole day of going to WallyWord for a pack of butt wipe, a jug of milk and strolling through the Hunting & Fishing Department to pick up a box or two of .22 to pink the next Saturday.  :shake:

True. I've said it numerous times. I miss the days of being able to pick up whatever you were going to shoot on your way to the range.
