Has the Dam Burst?

[chief38]

It's still a challenge to get it here and when they do have it - it's very expensive. Never thought we'd be paying $50 - $60 Bucks for a Brick of descent 22's. The only cheap stuff is the Remington Thunderbolt and Golden Bullets in the bulk Packs and I won't use that stuff anymore - just too many failures! I find Federal Blue Box and Auto Match bulk (milk container) 325 to be about the best bang for the buck, but finding them is next to impossible.

At $220/K, I would say the damn is still intact.

There are still the early morning guys standing outside of Walmart buying up all of the .22 here.

Because it's not $220/K.

The only bricks that have been advertised around here are the 325 rd Federal . Both Gander Mtn and Academy sports and outdoors have been listing it in their sales ads since Nov. @ $ 23.99 and $ 18.99 respectivly, or there abouts. HOWEVER , just try and buy it . Everytime I go in either store , It's all been sold . Usually all gone within an hour I am told and the next shipment will come "in a few day" .
But, the local Gun store does have Federal 325 bricks available @ $ 29.99 and can keep it in stock . So, that tells me the market would be comfortable settling in at around $ 25-$ 26 for a 325 brick .
Most people understand we are not in Kansas anymore , so , an increase in price is the ONLY way .22 will be available to the general public.

Wee still have our share of bottom-feeders here doing the same.

I still see quite a bit of .22 RF at gun shows, and prices have moderated considerably this year. The Remington bulk packs of 525 for around $40. I lucked into two cartons of Eley Match .22 Short standard velocity (a very practical round for me) at $40/carton at the last local gun show.

Dick's had Winchester M-22 1000 round bricks for 59.99. I was able to get four by driving around to various locations with my brother so after two long years I have enough for shooting with my sons when the weather gets better.

Both teenage boys who turn my Henry Golden Boy lever into semi automatic when they want to shoot up some water bottles.

They are each getting a brick for Christmas.
