Ammo made by ATK- Federal & CCI- seems to be hitting the pipeline. Now, if people would just QUIT BUYING the overpriced ammo being hawked by speculators on Gun Broker and other net venues, we might see some supply stabilization at semi-reasonable prices!

Two LGS in my area received limited shipments of CCI Blazer .22 LR. The distributors raised the cost of the ammo by about $8 per brick over Dec ember 2012 prices. Both stores are selling the ammo for $3.50 per 50 round box with a four box per person maximum. Both have received offers of over $50 a brick to buy all the ammo. Thankfully the store owners want to serve their customers rather than feed the net supply. Another large gun store without such a conscience ( in Butler PA) is limiting in-store customers to 100 rounds at $10 and telling them if they want more ammo they have to bid on it during the store's Gun Broker auctions! This low-life store does the same with magazines.

Thanks !

1,900rds here, all purchased yesterday Still shopping!

FYI - MidwayUSA must have received a shipment. I got confirmation they are processing a back order for Winchester M-22 ammo. Hope it means they will have some regular stock left over for those who can't find any. Might want to subscribe to their "notify me". Sometimes it is faster than gunbot

Just walked into walmart early 5:30 am. The lady in sports was stocking and I noticed a case of 10 boxes of Remington 22lr Golden hollow points at 9.99 a box of 225. She said she did not have the register open and to take what I wanted and pay up front. So I took the case. 10 boxes 2250 rounds for 100 bucks. 4.4 cents a round, and not the lead, but washed hollow points. Also scored three boxes of Wolf 7.62x39 for 5 bucks a box. All in all it was a good day.

did the RR cans have mini mags, after all?

I've been singing the praises of the .22 long rifle website. I scored a few times from it before the items showed up on gunbot. And once gunbot never showed the item as being in stock (historically) when lucky gunner had 10 cases of blazer ammo that I got in on. They sold out in literally seconds according to the comments that can be read here: Cheap 22 LR Ammo For Sale - 40 gr LRN - CCI Blazer Ammunition In Stock - 5000 Rounds.

It wont work in anything but a revolver. Not for rifles or semi-auto.

From the webpage ---

WARNING: These rounds are powered by the rimfire primer only. They must only be fired in handguns. If fired in rifles, the bullet may remain lodged in the barrel.
Will not cycle the slide of semi-automatic handguns
Aguila packages these as Long Rifle ammunition, but they are in fact slightly shorter than a 22 Long cartridge

is that ammo good? Just over priced? I just bought a 22 rifle so I am just learning the ammo brands ... I see the higher FPS is the higher quality so to speak.

It's good ammo, but in my personal opinion if it isn't labeled as "competition grade" type stuff it isn't worth paying more than 8 cents/rd or so.

Great ammo IMO, a good price is $7.99 these days. Just watch some of the suppliers as the shipping charges are ridiculous these days and can double the cost per round easily.

These are only going to work in revolvers and bolt actions. As far as what I've been told.

I've been silently following this thread since last Friday when I bought my first 22 caliber pistol. I figured that I had the 10 day waiting period in California to try and find some ammo. I think California is hit particularly hard with the ammo shortage. Anyway, thanks to everyone for their contributions. I have been successful and suggest attacking on multiple fronts. My first score was with my local Walmart where after days of stocking both via phone and in person I scored 300 rounds of CCI for $. 07/ Next I got a beep from gunbot for 1,000 rounds of CCI from PSA for $. 086 shipped. Then yesterday I went to a local range and they had 555 winchester for $30 (before tax) so I picked 1,110 more. This isn't amazing, but not to shabby in my situation. Now I have ammo for my new gun. Keep up the good fight!

I was able to get some of the "new tuna can" packages of Federal 36gr copper plated hollow point this AM at Cabelas. This is the mysterious nitrogen sealed can folks have spoken about.

With tax it ended up just north of $.063 per round. Not great but not bad for copper coated. The 325 40gr lead round nose I got from them a couple weeks ago ended up being about $.043 per round.

Not bad but not awesome. Gives me a little buffer until I can get my next Wallyworld Federal bulk

Think of how much the can costs, compared to a cardboard box ... Marketing hype at its finest.

Not sure where you're at, but the shortage is obviously not uniform through the state.
I have a friend with space command at Vandenberg who's had NO problems finding ammo around Lompoc, Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo. He's actually finding more and at better prices than I am in TN.
The secret is to look at the places you don't automatically think of selling ammo. He's been buying at some Mom and Pop hardware store -$21/brick 22 and 14 for 9mm.
Wish I could find that much stock here lol

Here's a pic if anyone is interested

Sure

But I guess I should have shared this... I was about 15 deep for the early opening Spring Sale this AM and of course everyone headed to the ammo first. At Cabela's 10 per limit, I should NOT have gotten any but everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was looking and poking and scanning for boxed ammo. I saw this on the top shelf remaining untouched. I waited until I could maneuver in and grabbed a few (NOT 10 or even close) and walked off. Turning back I was STILL amazed until the guy who filled the void I left said "here they are" and like Turkey vultures on fresh road kill, the shelf was clean!

My second stroke of luck came at the checkout. I was making small talk with the folks at the register and one of the ladies at the next register over says, "you need more of that?" and placed another tin on the counter. The guy that just checked out didn't want to pay "this much" and I'd rather not carry it back there

I guess there is reward for not being greedy!

Long time reader (in the Pistols forum), first time poster. This forum has been extremely helpful to a new 15-22 owner. I haven't shot it yet because ammo is so scarce. I did manage to get a few expensive match grade rounds (.14) at a LGS. Sometimes persistence pays off, and sometimes you get lucky. The wife was going to Wally World to get a few things, so I asked her to see if any .22lr was in stock. She's bringing home 2110 rds of Winchester at about .04 a round. Be encouraged fellas.

I know. She got it around noon. I'm in Birmingham, Alabama. I've been to that walmart a few times a week with no luck. She goes in for paper towels and scores.

I've come to the conclusion that is the secret to finding ammo. I'd been looking for 9mm for over a month with zero luck. The wife goes to wallyworld for laundry detergent and comes home with THREE Remington 250rnd value packs.
But on the same note, I know several Army guys here who spend their entire day working online and shop for ammo 8hrs a day with no luck. two weeks ago I logged on here saw the post and got 3 cases of Federal Automatch from Cabela's. Pure luck. But everybody got some, still had enough left for the scouts and we all had a good day at the range.

Picked up 3 225rnd boxes this AM @ local Walmart just by stopping by after work last night. It's hit or miss.

I see your from Titusville, I stopped by that Walmart this morning about 8:00 am. They said they had got some in but was gone before it hit the shelves. Just curious what time did you stop there?

Those are the most ridiculous prices I have ever seen. I can't believe people like that can sell the ammo at that price and sleep at night. The Remington sells for $23 at the local Walmart. People like that should lose their distribution license!!

I posted about them on another site earlier today because they were charging $6.25/round for Black Talons. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.

To avoid a scolding and make my post topic related, yesterday I saw bulkammo.com briefly put up their "Bulk Rimfire Ammo" link and it listed .22LR, although nothing was in stock. The link has since been removed. I've been there off and on refreshing since, because I figured they may be getting some in and were getting the site ready to post it when it did. I could be wrong, though.

I've had better luck at pawn shop stores then Walmart or gun shops. You have to think outside the box sometimes...

[Shooter McGavin357]

So here's how this went down I checked walmarts website to check on the availability of 22lr ammo assuming what all of us know to be true...out of stock. However to my surprise they listed Remington 325 rd packs as in stock in 3 of my local walmarts. Cha Ching or so I thought. I called all 3 and instead of asking for sporting goods and getting the same disgruntled employee we talk to all week I asked then ice old lady at the front counter to run the Walmart UPC and see if they were in fact in stock. All 3 nice ladies told me yes. However they all put me through to sporting goods or a manager to cover their tail. And all 3 backup associates told me that they were in fact put of stock. The last manager I talked with I attempted to get to the bottom of it. She told me they are not hoarding ammo what they have is on the shelves and the one I frequent which I know for a fact they stock their ammo at 930pm the manager told me the best time for me to get it would be between 8 and 9 am!! I've watched the, crack open the boxes at 930pm. I only thing I can think is a. The ammo shows up in their inventory before they receive it because I know they get their trucks at 9pm every evening or b. which I've heard from an inside source which I didn't believe was true until this encounter was that they keep the ammo in the back and put it out as they see fit and they actually are hoarding it. I'm heading up to Walmart now to do my usual hang around the gun counter until the ammo comes in so I hope that the first one is true and I will be rolling in 22lr after all this is said and done. I will update as the Walmart associates feed me the bs.

[BlueZero]

I noticed my walmart saving ammo under the counter for people. When I asked about getting on the list I just got the run around and was told I needed to speak to the manager. I wonder how much is even making it on the shelf. lol

[rakstr]

I'd take the time to speak to that manager and if he is "in on the list scam" send a note to corporate.

[bearfoot]

a walmart, 50 miles round trip had 223`s/federal/100 rd. ,$34.95 as per the walmart internet. called, they had 2 boxes left, and they wouldn`t hold them for me. didn`t go. tonight found 2 stores w/ them listed, local walmarts, called, but not in the sporting goods shelves. so if they have them posted on the internet at the stores, are they coming in, or someone got them, maybe going to ebay? thoughts, info and maybe this has happened to someone on the thread that has seen them on the internet, but not at the store. thanks for any info!!!

$10 shipping plus $2 tax for me...i live 15 minutes away from them and it won't give me an option to pick up. It definitely won't be around tomorrow when they open. Dagnabit!!

Can't stomach the fact that I'm paying that much for shipping down the street. Even though 10 cents/rnd is not bad nowadays, I still couldn't do it. I'll go without for now.

Pawn shops have traditionally sold firearms and ammo in states that allow them to do so.
