Got 600 rds of CCI std this week at Walmart. Apparently they were having a big hunting sale and got a ton of CCI in. Lasted about half a day before being sold out.

Just wanted to thank you guys for posting links in the ammo thread.
I go through a lot of CCI Standard Velocity shooting suppressed. I've recently made two orders, two bricks each, from the Midway links you guys have been postings. Really helps, thanks.
And thanks goes out to Midway for offering it at $39.99/brick.

Wow thats a long backlog! Sounds like one of my recent orders. I ordered some Federal from Palmetto on Dec 24 and have yet to receive any kind of shipment notice. What makes it worse is that I only ordered it because on that particular day it was all I could find online but since then much better prices on the same exact ammo have popped up. I placed an order and the other vender already has a shipment notification. It was for 3250 rounds.

That gives me hope... my Midway order for 2k was made two weeks after yours. Fingers crossed
We'll see. I got the email today about the Standard CCI. It was phrased as "this is similar to something you've had backordered for along time" (Jan 20, 2013 in my case). Of course, it also had the claim that "we don't keep backorders beyond 1 year."
Curious to see what I get next... Happily, I got 4,000 M-22 when Dick's had their stockpile.

I have two shipments of ammo coming in Friday. One from Palmetto and the other from LAX. Combined that will be 3575 rounds of Federal. Added to my current stock of Norma Tac22 that puts me over 6000 rounds. If I stick to my trend of shooting 450-500 rounds each session at the range once a month I'm looking at a year's worth of ammo. LOL! I was planning on hitting up the range more than once a month though. It just hasn't worked out that way yet. I have kids LOL.

Just scored a bulk box (1000 rounds) of Winchester at Wal-mart for $50.25. I walked in about 7:30pm after I got off work to buy 5.56 magazines (which I didn't even know they didn't sell) for an AR pistol I just started building and as I did my usual quick glance in the direction of where the USUALLY empty 22LR section is I noticed a rather large black box sitting there. Do I even need to say that I was on that like white on rice? LOL! I didn't even plan on buying an 22LR for a long time because I had recently bought 3250 rounds of Federal from LAXAmmo and that put up over 6000 rounds. I figured I was good for the year. Now I can add two more trips to the range. The guy at the counter said they just started changing there stock times today. They are trying to trip up the hoarders that normally ambush them every morning at the time they used to stock it.

Cabela's Score
I just happened to catch the most recent Winchester wooden box sale at Cabela's as highlighted on this forum. I ordered and picked up three boxes. I don't know if it's a good deal or not, but it's 22LR. I checked some of the cartridges and they are loose in the case. I can spin the bullets. They also appear to have been sloppily made. There are production marks (gouges) in a lot of the hollow points. If these aren't seconds, then they are certainly the bottom of the barrel. I guess Winchester and Cabela's know that we are pretty desperate for ammo, so they'll sell us anything, or I've been spoiled with CCI Tactical, Blazer, and CCI Standard Velocity.

You've been spoiled with CCI [emoji1] Thiis stuff is typical bulk,works fine for plinking with pistols,but I save the CCI for my rifles.
Well I hope it will go through my 15-22. I'm planning on taking my kids and their friends shooting this spring and summer. Steel spinners at 50 yards. My son, especially, loves to rapid fire (spray and pray). I wanted something cheap to let them have some fun with. In two years I haven't had a single failure to feed or eject. I've had a couple of duds, and they were easily taken care of. The last time we all did this together, we used a Remington Bucket-o-Bullets, and they ran 99.99% (one dud). Say what you want about the Bucket-o-Bullets, but they were a much better visible quality than these Winchesters.
I got that bucket via Gander Mountain ship to store for $70. This last order of 1,500 Winchester rounds was ship to store at Cabela's for $111. I hope at least some of the good 'ol days comes back eventually.

I bought one from Cabelas online. I didn't think it was a great deal but not bad enough to pass up to get the wooden box. I ended up using it as a coffee table remote holder. It has my tv and Apple TV remote in it right now.
I passed on the Winchester box last week at Cabela's (in store). I had a brick of Thunderbolts and that box in hand while talking to one of the store employees as the rest flew off the shelf, some clearly to folks who were buying for buying (did I say hoarders?). Had not decided if I wanted either of them (really too expensive, but ...). Then over comes one of the gun counter guys I know with a mom and (older) kids looking for .22 for a first rifle they just bought for dad's birthday. Shelf was empty by that point. I just handed them what I was holding when I saw the situation.
I know nobody would do that for me (except a couple of members here
), but seemed the right thing to do.

A week's worth of shopping from Cabela's (loved the free shipping this week) and Midway.
And have another 200rds of CCI std coming Fri from Cabela's

Went through Bastrop LA this week. Big sporting goods store there had pallet lots of just about any variety (except CCI Mini Mag). Price was about 15% over my limit, but they had it. I didn't need the varieties they had, so passed for now.
