Here is a good deal on Federal bulk for anyone looking.. Cabela's: Federal Champion .22 LR Ammunition with Ammo Can

I bought it earlier tonight. It seems to be the only bulk in stock besides the wooden box of 500 rounds. $0.04 per round is hard to beat. Hell, finding any .22LR right now at any price is hard to beat!

Got a tracking number for my order today. Never thought it would be so hard to get 22lr!

PowerGuy, when did you place your order?...

Yesterday afternoon.

Great. I hope to hear from them soon! There is no .22 on the shelves here in Texas and people are ripping everybody off on forums... Seemed like a great deal with the key words being "in stock".

Received my order today, this is very good ammo and cycles well in my Glock Advantage arms conversion, and Ruger SR22. I paid $84.99 a couple months ago, but with the scarcity of .22lr in stores, I paid up.

Hmmmm.... I back ordered 4200 rounds + 2 ammo boxes from Cabelas about 8 days ago & I've heard nothing. What I got for pricing equated to 3.7 cent + the 2 ammo box freebies.

I was a out to order it.....but it's backordered. I have less than 500 rounds right now and it's driving me crazy

I have some of the cci tactical on backorder from Cabela's when they had $20 off $150 yesterday. 2 of the 1500 round boxes for $96 each, then $20 off. The closest cabela's is an hour away, but picking it up when it comes in (4-6 weeks?) will save over the shipping costs.

In the meantime I'm going to pick up some blazer from a local feed shop. They have the 50 round boxes for $2 each (for some reason they broke up all the 500 round bricks into the 10 50 round boxes), and have maybe 4000 rounds in stock. The normal place I buy it is $18 a brick, but they've been out and don't have an eta for more. Right now the extra $2 is worth it since I've got 5 groups of 4 people (including me) that I want to take to Appleseed shoots over the next few months. That's going to take a bit of ammo...

I placed a order for some this morning I had a decent supply but it looks like ammo is going to be scarce for a while so I added to the stash.

I also placed an order this morning.

Still more expensive than the bulk federal at WalMart. But try and find any in stock..........

Not horribly cheap (saw 3.x per round at midway, but its on back order of course), but not horribly expensive either. Put my order in.

Thanks for pointing it out.

I ordered some last night. Thanks for the heads up!

Just ordered some. Suppose to arrive 1/14.

I bought three and they should be here by Tuesday. :-)

My LGS has them at $19.99 and tax for those per 500 round brick. That's $80 and tax for 2000. Think I will swing by there on lunch.

I also ordered this morning due on or before 1-14 $112.30 w/shipping & tax

On the 24th they had "Federal Champion .22 LR Ammunition with Dry Box" and I ordered 2 orders of that and that shows 2-3 weeks still.

But "Federal Champion .22 LR Ammunition with Ammo Can" is in stock ready to ship??

time to get them on the phone

Sounds like a backorder to me.

yes... but if you see.. it was/is the same ammo just in a different can and mine had to wait and theirs could go out. So it all came down to the can being the hold up

I have them on chat now, they offered to switch as even they agreed it made no sense and the can was the delay BUT in the process of changing my order over they sold out of the stuff listed here

now it is also out of stock and they say no BO as it is "out for the season" while mine shows 1-25-13 delivery

I knew it wouldn't last long, glad I got my order in. Now I just have to wait for the CCI to come in from back order.

SOLD OUT NOW!

Proper planning has 5+ cases 22 LR sitting on the shelf. Last gun show purchase was CCI Blazer case for $190 with tax. You just got to keep rimfire feed in stock at all times.

FYI, they have the same ammo (525 bricks) for 21.99 each, just no can.

Cabela's: Federal® Champion® .22L Ammo - Per 525

Those are back ordered also. Lead time is 2-3 weeks

Bulk (325) is still in stock.

As for the difference in dry box vs metal ammo can, I think it comes packaged that way from the distributor and not manually assembled by Cabelas. Cabela's back order date estimation is quite reliable, much better than Sportsman's Guide inventory, I had ordered some Herter's .223 ammo, 500 rounds with a dry box 12-18-12 and it just shipped yesterday. Even the second order I placed before the free shipping ended for Cabela's Visa cc holders has shipped. The estimated back order date was 4-5 weeks and it was sent in a week. Was not expecting all the backorders to come in at once, not looking forward to the Cabela's cc bill this month.

Wow! 20,000 rounds, really?

Just ordered two boxes federal 325. With shipping comes out to a whopping 6cents a bullet.

Sounds to me like he planned ahead. Its a nice cushion. Everyone in the family was sure I had no possible reason to buy 30,000 4 years ago. Now they cry and I sit here fat, dumb, and happy.

I keep a minimum of 10k on hand.

The last case sale my LGS had, they had two pallets (500k) of Federal Champion that lasted about a week. I bought two cases at the time.

yeah I usually keep 2 cases minimum but thinking about more to be safe. Just think of it this way.. how much enjoyment are you going to get out of your $190-200 per case? Hell that's a short night at the butt naked.

Until this ammo shortage goes away, I will be stingy with my friends and not give them a box every time we go shooting. No bullets no boom. Or, should I say, "bullets for boom boom?" <if she is cute...I am sure glad my wife does not frequent the forums!>

First post and new owner of the S&W 15-22 MOE.... Pictures coming soon! I was reading the forums as to looking for help on Ammo! It seems everyone in my neighborhood is sold out. I live in San Diego, California. I have never ordered Ammo from the internet but, it's the only way to get Ammo for my new S&W. When I click on the order it says "Residents of CA ... etc please with your local laws for restrictions

Has Any one ordered Ammo from Cabela's that lives in California..... I can't find any .22 LR Ammo in my local area.

Got my shipping email this morning. My 43.2 pounds of goodness will be here Monday.

Yes, I live in CA and I ordered the Federal bulk deal the other day and it's on it's way via UPS. Should be here Tuesday.

The lists I've seen on other websites for restricted areas to ship ammunition in CA IIRC only list Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento.

Thank You... I called them and they said try to order the Ammo and if it does not accept then you can not order..... I just ordered +4000 rounds of Ammo of dif. brands to see what my 15-22 likes........ Back ordered .... Oh well none of the shops here can tell me when they will have stock!!!!! Thanks for the quick response.... I really like this forum!

In town for 3 days visiting my parents. Stop at local Gander mountian and they are loaded with .22, from mini mag,federal,winchester,remington..I was in heaven, bought only 1 brick of federal..sadly all I can do right now

Mine should be coming in on tuesday. I would have bought more but I backordered some mags for my AR, 15-22, and Glock. Who knows when I'll get those. Also bought two stripped lowers and a GSG 1911-22 from PSA today.

Jelly Bean

I bought 20 boxes of the Federal 325 Value Pack at $15/pop before they were backordered. Saw this deal this morning... but 6,500 rounds of .22LR is enough for me for now.

Just got my ammo with ammo can today. Cant beat the deal from Cabelas. Thanks slowhonda for posting it up.

5K, 10K, 20K rounds. I wish I had the funds to keep that stock on hand.

Need to share this with my wife to show my "hoarding" is NOT.

I don't smoke, chew or drink - it's amazing how much money you can have for important things like ammo, if you don't throw it away on that other stuff.

100k of any particular cartridge might be considered "hoarding". Anything less is simply good planning ...

Received mine today as well.

I got mine the other day. I quit smoking last year and it gives me extra cash to buy ammo. Too bad there's no .223 available, I miss shooting my AR-15. I don't want to dip into my reserve .223 yet.

I ordered mine on the 3rd and it arrived yesterday. Pretty happy about that.

The gun stores around me have 2 boxes of the rem 525 about every other day so i go every other day $22.00 a box lol
