How much 22lr do you have now?

[OLDSTER]

.22 LR

Guy over on the Ruger Forum claims to have 70,000 rounds

I haven't purchased 22LR since 2012...it has gotten to be too crazy priced. Fortunately for me, before that I had about 14,000 rounds stashed. For me being a reloader it is cheaper still today to shoot center fire 9mm than it is for me to plink with 22. I can load 9mm for just shy of 10 cents per round, and make as much or a little at a time I want. My LGS used to carry 500 round bricks for $12.99 and I would typically pick up 1 or 2 each payday, just to have them...currently I am down to about 4500 rounds and for the replacement cost, I just won't shoot them.

If anyone else, aside from myself, has the unfortunate displeasure of living in the Democratic Republic of Illinois....there is hope!

As of yesterday, Cabela's in Hoffman Estates, IL has a lot of 22LR available. Some as cheap as 6.5 cents per round.

Browning BPR box of 400 for $26
CCI Mini-Mags 100 for $8.50
Winchester Super X 100 for $8

And about 5 or 6 others like Norma TAC 22 and standard velocity CCI, etc.

Additionally, I was talking with one of the guys working in the ammo section and he said that they are scheduled to receive more shipments of 22LR in the next week. He seemed to imply that our shortage may be nearing its end. Who knows if thats true so, for now, buy as much as you can. I picked up 800 rounds of BPR and another 800 mixed between Mini Mags and Super X.

Online I can find .22lr for 6 cents a round, depending on how much I buy or if I pick it up at a store I can get it shipped free

Enough for my needs for the foreseeable future...

Let just say north side of 10k for 22lr.
2k of 9mm
1k of 40sw
1k of 45acp
2k of 12 gauge (birdshot).

2016 has been good for firearms, but better for buying ammo and magazines for me.

Ahh 2005 prices.

Added to the stock pile a couple months back. Always nice to have on hand.

I don't know if the "crisis" is over yet because prices are still high. I got back into shooting during the summer of 2014. I was down to owning only 1 gun. I kept it under my mattress. It was a Taurus 38sp. I took it from my mattress and looked at it for awhile, deciding it was too big to conceal. I went online and searched for "small revolvers". I was intrigued by the NAA mini 22lr revolver.
I ordered one and had it shipped to the lgs. When I picked it up, I asked the guy for some ammo so I could try it out and he told me he didn't have any. I was like, seriously? How can a gun shop be out of the most common caliber of ammo. I didn't ask him that because I didn't want to be rude, so I went home and made some calls to other places. Everybody was out! Luckily I still had about 100 rounds in a drawer somewhere so I didn't panick.
Fast forward to present day, I now have 12 guns, 4 of them are rifles. I have about 6,000 rnds of 22lr,
400 rnds of 38sp. 1600 rnds of 9mm. 1100 rnds of 45acp. 1400 223. Of course, this changes all the time.
What stocking levels do you guys typically have on hand?

not enough, never enough

Ahh 2005 prices.

Wish I had bought 10-20 cases of it then. That was when we would just decide to go shooting and stop by Wally World and pick a couple of boxes up.

About 6,000 rounds, but that will go fast when the grand kids come for their summer visit! Will have to restock!
