Brick of .22 ammo

Ten days ago one LGS near me got in 1000 50ct. boxes of 40 gr. Blazer 22lr. No internet sales and a two box limit with an eye wink if you went right back in the store for another two. The price is $4.95/box.
Today, ten days later, they still have over 450 boxes left on the shelf.

Say What?!Probably THE best rounds to have stockpiled for survival purposes.
I have 12 gauge for that

I remember .59 50 rd boxes of Remington Kleanbores at K-Mart in the early 70s. Guess we'll never see that again. But then I was a teenager working on a farm in the afternoons for spending money at $1.65 an hour, so I couldn't exactly buy all I wanted even at that price. Having 3-4 boxes on my shelf was "stockpiled" to me at the time. It's all relative, I guess. It took me a little longer to go through a box of 50 in my 514 Remington single-shot than now in a K-22, Hi-Standard Supermatic, or my 10/22.
I paid $50 for a brick of 500 Federal Match 22LR at the Nov 2015 Tulsa show and felt like I was paying too much. Paid $90 for the same brick about 3 weeks ago and felt like I was getting a bit of a deal.

I'll bet that these old boxes of .22 that I have were a bit less than a dollar apiece back in the day.
I remember using the Remington box and the "Monkey Ward" box.
My ammo collection may soon be worth more than my car.

Found a receipt for a 1375 count bucket of .22 Federal I bought local in 2019.....$59.
About 4 years ago 9mm at the gun show was $89/500.
45 acp was $129/500.

When Gander Mountain had a catalog I used to buy stuff from them all the time. So, I was in their computer.
When they opened the first store locally, I got a free $10.00 coupon in the mail. Over the first few years I got several more. Each time I redeemed it for a $9.99 brick of .22s. After tax was added I got the brick for 7 cents.

Remington thunderbolts are absolute ****-really?
Today, yes. 25 years ago, not really. I have some boxes that were under water because of a flood. They still go bang reliably.
Depends upon the circumstances. Did you have $50.? Do you need the bullets? Do you know where you can buy them cheaper? Did you have permission from your wife too buy them? Do you have a .22 caliber firearm?

Don't hate me but when bricks of 500 were cheap ($10 or less at gunshows), I bought a bunch and dumped them into large plastic coffee cans for convenience.
I still have several full cans.

You better. You will be the only guy with a 525rd box of Remington Yellow Jackets seeing as how they never made a 525 box only a 50 and 100rd box of Yellow Jackets. So buy fast!

This is the time to trade extra ammo for guns.
I just read an ad on a local gun forum where a guy is offering to trade a nearly brand new Taurus G2C with 2 magazines for 2000 rounds of 22LR.
I'm sorely tempted. I know, I know, it's a Taurus, but I've had great luck with my Taurus guns, and the G2C is probably their most highly rated pistol, it gets rave reviews - and I have between $90 and $100 invested in 2000 rounds of bulk 22LR.
