Ammo Thread Scores

[DoubleEagle]

Thanks to Liberty Head and others, I scored a bunch of .22LR ammo over the last 10 days or so. Blazers, M-22, Fresh Fire Packs and CCI Tactical. Wow!

The 22LR In-Stock Ammo Thread has been a little quiet for the past couple of days. Sure was fun while it lasted.

UPS arrived....

Here's the Fed Suppressor Ammo that I picked up from a link by Forum member Gamer1357. 45gr 970fps copper plated. Never seen subsonic ammo copper plated before. $40/brick plus $12 shipping for two bricks. If it shoots well and is substantially cleaner that CCI SV, this will be my new ammo of choice for suppressed shooting

You ever try the other new guy on the block... Norma USA TAC-22? I have been very happy with it shooting suppressed.

Dang I missed the CCI MiniMag/Natchez by 5 minutes, and it was gone . Hard to find CCI these days...

Not yet. I've got some of this (below) too and have yet to try it. Down to my last 10k of CCI SV and have found it impossible to buy any so I'm seeking out replacements.

A purpose for everything. Nature usually calls me around 4:00 am, so while I am up I check the internet for ammo. I've scored a brick of Blazers and a 300-pack of Troy Landry specials this week. If I check again in the morning, they are usually sold out [although Cabelas still had the Choot 'Ems this morning]. Missed the CCI Tacticals this week cause I didn't check till noon.

I got on those Choot 'ems this morning. Being in lame Illinois, I have to call in my orders so by the time I get ahold of someone, it's usually gone. I have to take what I can get.

I received this this past week, but my other 3 orders have been delayed buy the weather. Three orders were supposed to be delivered Friday, hopefully they show up Monday. I'm waiting on 2 boxes of blazer, 1 cci mini mag, and a 300rd box of cci tactical.



99% of what I bought in 2013, came from the ammo thread here. A big thank you to the guys that find the deals.

I do have to admit that I am about tired of this 22 panic. With Cabela's raising their prices on some (IE the 24.99 to 27.99 jump on the Blazer's) and their limit of 1 box per order, it's getting to be not worth it.

Hopefully it will calm down by summertime, but with good weather, more people will be shooting so I doubt it.

 

[Decipher]

I doubt it too. It's unfortunate. We all have the local guys who buy up all the ammo they can, everyday, then turn around and sell it at local gun shows. It makes finding 22 difficult.

And that $3 upper on a brick gets you over Cabela's $25.00 order increment so shipping costs $3 more as well.

The Winchester M22 has a recall on it.

You must have good eyes to be able to read the lot numbers on the Winchester from that pic. I just received my Winchester M22 also and it's not from the recalled lot.

There is hope..... Cabela's posted an unanticipated QoQ 20% decline in ammo sales for Q4.

 

[Decipher]

Really?!? Nice!

Yep.

Surge in ammunition sales 'winding down,' Cabela's says - Omaha.com

^This.

I'm honestly starting to believe that online is the only place I'll ever be able to buy .22LR.

I used to play the Walmart game. Driving to as many as I could on my way to/from work. I'd make a reallllly large circle and be able to hit like four of them, and always nothing.

Then I got on the Walmart app game, still nothing (I found the app very inaccurate). I wasted so much freakin' gas and time.

My local Walmarts usually have anything you want, except 9 and .22; the only ones I care about. These turds who come in and buy to re-sell drive me up a wall. I mean I get it, it's a free country, blah blah blah; but come on...

So I echo many here when I say I love the in stock ammo thread. And even if ammo sales slow down, I don't think we'll see more on the local shelves, because those same turds will buy it knowing there will eventually be another scare and they can sell it then.

Well, we'll see if my order really does go through, but I just placed an order for four boxes of the 300 round CCI Tactical at the most recent Cabela's alert on the ammo thread (thanks Rdye09). The order was accepted and there is a pending charge on my credit card. I had them shipped to my local store for pickup, and it says that they should be there by 2/21/2014. I'll be real happy if they really do arrive.

My account status on Cabela's now shows my complete order as shipped (ship to store), but it doesn't give a pickup date. The charge on my credit card changed from pending to an actual charge. So, if nothing else changes in the next week or so, I'll have four boxes of CCI Tactical waiting for me at Cabela's for pickup.

My Cabela's account shows shipped also so I expect an email to follow on Monday. Surprised they shipped with out changing the amount ordered (4).

This is not a score, but i scored on trading 1300 rds of my stash for a Primary Arms 4x16x44 scope for my Spikes Tactical AR.

Proves to show you that .22 is like money these days!

 

[brucev]

Just now was able to order two more 500 rd. bricks of CCI Blazers. These have always given excellent results in my pistol, revolver and rifles. Very thankful in the extreme for links provided that have made it possible to find this ammo at Cabelas.

One thing that has proved helpful. Fill your shopping cart with the items you want. Save that page. Now go back periodically and call up that page. Hit the checkout button. You will be able to then buy whatever is in stock. This is how it was possible for me to just now order the Blazer ammo. HTH. Sincerely. brucev.

Yep, looks like you got away with one. Had I known I would have ordered more of the Tactical, dangit

Cabelas is certainly all over the map - as mentioned before I'm about 50/50 on getting actual orders... But I'll keep trying.
