Found a 2,000 round box with ammo can at WalMart tonight. Before the madness I had never seen them before. It was $91.77 before tax. They had about 7 of them left ... if the warden will approve I will pick up another box tomorrow.

Score..... at that price, with ammo can I would not even ask (not that I do anyway).

def a score. before taxes comes out to be about 4.5 cents per round.

never shot if before, but my 15-22 has eaten everything it has been given. lol. My Sig Mosquito on the other hand ... guess we shall see.

My wife wanted me to make a run to the store this evening and I was like yeah right.....then I saw this thread and my as was at walmart within minutes. No luck but there is a space on the shelf for the the 1000 round boxes for $47. I'll have to keep my eye out. Thanks for the heads up. I did pick up a brick of Am Eagle for $22 at the LGS today. They had two cases but were limiting quantities. At least they don't jack up their prices.

Warden always approves!

I would not have bothered to ask, either. That way you'll never hear the dreaded word, NO!

Are those the wax coated ones? We have had them at our store a few times before. Never got them though since I heard they along with the wax coated remingtons, are not as good to use because they can foul up the rifling pretty good. Just make sure you give the barrel a good scrub to clean out the rifling after using it alot.

I checked them out, they seemed just like the Winchester Super X 40 gr. to me. They do not feel excessively waxy to me. The CCI Blazers to me are the heavy on the wax "lube". I clean every 500 rounds or so, so I dont expect a problem. I have heard good things about them.

You need to buy a Lottery ticket now the luck is with you...

Dick's had at least 3 of those today, but the price was a little higher. They seem to be getting ammo in again, hopefully the xmas rush was part of the problem. I thought about going back and getting all of them. Gunbroker has a bid of $200 on it. Winchester M-22 2000rd Factory Sealed Can .22LR : Rifle Ammunition at GunBroker.com

Virtually all .22 ammo has a thin wax coating. If it's a problem, it most likely caused by improper storage somewhere along the line. Maybe God loves me more than the rest of you, but in something around 500k over the years, I have never had any particular problem with wax. Then again, I don't go 5k between barrel cleaning, either.

What the hell, seems like everyone is starting to find all these deals at their walmart/LGS...im about to go on a mission here..im heading out the door in about 30 min. to find me some local 22lr ammo.

Nice score OP.

My LGS always had .22 ammo, but they recently marked up their prices so yea..I will pass for now.

Wally here is now gone dry on my fav. .22 ammo..but since I used to work here and there in sporting goods.. Couple of my ex co workers will give me a jingle when the good stuff comes in

Walmart in burton has some in, just bought 4(bulk) boxes of winchester 555..they also had some Rem. golden bullet.

Score! I will be heading to flint a little later today and Burton is on the way there. Do you live in Burton?

yeap, used to live in lapeer my whole life till about 2 yrs ago.

When it comes to some things in life, my motto has always been "It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission." Ammo at good prices in high-demand times always fall under this category.

Hit up 3 walmarts today no luck at all.

Saw one at Dick's today. $109 and left it for someone else.

I do not complain about shoes and purses, my wife does not complain about guns.

Seriously, though, I'm very fortunate. The morning after the election, she was up early to hear the news. She woke me and said "Looks like you better get that rifle you wanted".

just got 2000rds+ammo box at Cabelas on sale for $85. They sell it online, idk what states/laws you each have though. The box is huge though..have it holding my 7.62 goodness.

What brand of ammo was that you found at Cabelas? Ive been looking at the website and havent came across it yet.

It's always easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission


Edit: ****, I see someone already used my motto!

Sometimes it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
Sales tax??? Yuck!!!

Luckyyyyyy

Nice find, my 15 22 loves the stuff. Now I'll need to check the local stores...
