My local Wally World had 15,000 rounds of the CCI 100rd boxes in stock last time I was there.

How much per box of 100?

My search is for .22 ammo that my Sig 226 .22 will handle. I always buy what I can and try it, so far Federal target match, and CCI Mini's work very well, unfortunately those are the ones I have trouble finding. The only other .22 I have is my Henry . I have so many .22's now I am getting a revolver to shoot them.
I almost completely agree, the 15-22 I've already told the grandson was his , ' but I am looking for a good cheep 22 pistol ' for us to plink with, I have a very few rounds stuck back & or will pay the stupidly high price but just for shooting with him.If the new trend for plinking .22LR ammo is more than 7 cents per round U can count me out! I will trade my two .22LR pistols (keep my s&w 15-22) and forget about the whole thing. Life is too short.
I mean it's been how many years & they still have ammo ?It's funny U mention that because in all the WALKING DEAD episodes I have never seen any zombie get shot in the head with a .22, even though it makes sense to use a .22 because the .22 is a more quiet round, easier to carry and easy 2 shoot. Go figure.
THAT'S WHAT ITS LIKE UP HERE IN THE NORTH EAST ALSO, Bob………..I live in Central West Coast Florida, and 22 LR ammunition is harder to find now than it was for the first seven months of 2014. At least once every two or three weeks, a few of the Walmarts in my area would get some bulk in. Haven't had any in in almost three months, and I check availability every night for 10 stores with the Walmart App, which is 95% accurate. Once in a while they get a few 50 or 100 round boxes in, but it is too expensive to drive all over for that quantity, especially with Walmarts 3 box limit. Same for the local gun shops, and what little they get in is 50 round boxes priced at 15 cents or more a round. Shortage is not over here in FL.

I think there is confusion over this long, over discussed topic. Yes there is a shortage if you are still thinking of .05 per round being the norm and being able to walk in to your local retailer and picking up a brick for $25. There is no shortage if you are willing to concede to those days being over and the new norm being .10 per round and found mostly online. I see it regularly on a site named NORTHERN FIREARMS on GB with free shipping in desirable brands such as CCI and Federal for .08 per round but you have to be willing to spend a little and buy 5000 rounds. You could always sell a little to your buddy's if that quantity is to much of an investment. I think it is safe to say that the manufacturer won this war, and yes it is over. Just go to a site like gunbot and compare the amount of .05 per round to even last year and it is practically nonexsistant.

I ordered CCI Stingers over a year ago from Lohman Arms in Texas
I completely forgot about them they called me about a month ago said they came in, I figured I might as well get them knowing how hard they are to get but I paid for them 7.00 per 50 and 13.00 shipping I only use them in my Henry on the 100 yd. range cheaper rounds in everything
else I don't understand how they figure shipping charges I just ordered 2000 bullets from Extreme bullets and the shipping was just 5.00 if I remember correctly 500 9 mm's weigh about 12 lbs
The Wal-Mart that I go to hasn't had 22 in over a year.
Our local Wally World is the same, no 22lr in a long time. When I asked the clerk about 22 shorts, he said, "What are those?" I went to our local gun shop and was able by 2 bricks, but the prices just weren't that good. I coughed up the money because I want to try out my new S&W AR15-22.
I'm sorry but I have to believe somebody's lying to you guys. They're getting them. YOU may not be seeing them but they ARE getting them. Walmart doesn't discriminate when they ship to stores.
They may be being sold out the back door and the people at the counter literally don't know what's going on, but rest assured; they are getting shipments. From what I can decipher, there is a LOT of this going on, believe it or not.
We had a couple of heads to roll at our local Wally-World because of just this because they got caught.

I don't know of anyone that is expecting to find or waiting for .05 per round. I think .08 per is a good price point, at .10 I just stop shooting it. When I can buy 9mm for .22 per sometimes less why would I not spend my time & money honing my skills with the weapon I use to protect family & self ?
Also not only do I not like buying ammo on line ( thats a whole mother topic ) but the way I work & the times they deliver means I would have to go pick it up or make sure I am home , lost money either way.
I've been saying for 4 years now that at some point all the hoarders closets will have to get full, looks like this could be another time I was wrong.
At least some of the Walmarts and Academys are trying to throw the hoarders off by randomly stocking the 22LR. If EVERY store would do that it sure would help. And the reason their closets aren't getting full is because many are still turning around and selling it.
I started this post and the 22LR situation has not changed here. The Walmarts now seem to have an abundance of 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, and Federal bulk .223, and all is the same price as it has been for the last year. But there still is very little 22LR, especially in bulk sizes. Sure I can go online and find 10 to 15 cents a round for ammo, but I am cheap.
I did get a deal around Christmas. Did an ammoseek.com search and found Federal Auto Match in 325 round boxes for $17.50 a box, with $8 shipping at Wholesale Hunter, so I ordered the limit of 4 boxes, for a total of $78, or .06 a round, including shipping costs. Not bad as there was no sales tax involved. The only issue was it took 6 week to get it delivered, but it did finally get here.
