How much 22lr do you have now?
- Thread starter Recon642
- Start date
I haven't found or bought any .22 LR ammo since January when I found some Mini-Mags at my local Walmart. 
Overall, I'm in great shape and pushing the legal storage limits in my loony moonbat state. The only calibers that I could use a few more boxes of are: .380 ACP, .44 Magnum, .38 Special, .22 Magnum and .410 Shotgun. I will need to pickup at least a few more boxes of each before the election.
And if I do decide to get into .357 Sig, add a few boxes of them to the list as well!

My wife and I are both bullseye shooters, so I always keep about 4 cases or more (20,000+ rounds) of standard velocity in inventory, with perhaps another case or so of various high-speed stuff for general shooting and the little bit of silhouette that I do.

One rifle and a few boxes. I keep it around but I was never into 22lr. I've had this "set" for probably 10 years. Bought it, checked for function and stick it in the safe.

I like his thinking.
I have sufficient, in all calibers, for my real and perceived needs. Actual amounts are no one's business but my own.

.22 LR I don't have much. All my distributors currently have are Eley and RWS and these are not really cheap considering that a 50rd box of those can cost as much (if not more) as box of 9mm.
Regarding the other calibers;

I just started buying new handgun brass, handgun bullets last month. This month it's powder. Next month primers.
I'm up to 1940's on surplus ammo and on my 1977 dated reloaded ammo now. It's good to stay ahead with target shooting.

8500 22lr - no longer that hard to find here and 6 to 10
cents per round
3700 9mm - available everywhere I look
700 .223 - I've been collecting this even though I haven't
assembled the rifle yet. I plan on stocking 2000

Really? Tell us about the canoe accident. How did it happen and how much did you lose? Did it ruin your camping trip?

gotta agree I buy what I can when I have the extra $$$, thinking of the future and if and when they require ammo registration and you can only have so much then, I will have this put aside as a retirement
got ammo saved but no food LOL, but then I also need to lose a few Lbs and have ammo to go get food with in the timber

These days any .22 ammo at 8 cents per round or less is a good deal. The days of cheap .22s are gone. So quit waiting for prices to "return to normal" because it ain't gonna happen. 
For many years I've been going to stores, gun shows etc and made it a habit that if I ran across .22s at a good price, I'd buy some even if I didn't need it. I have a lot of .22 firearms and always keep a good supply on hand. So far I've survived all the ammo droughts without having to pay scalper's prices. While I still have a fair bit on hand, my inventory has dropped a bit below my comfort level. last gun show I went to I found good ammo at 7.9 cents. I bought some. And from now on, anytime I find it at 8 cents or less, I will buy more.
Oh, and learn to reload for your centerfires. Then you'll have money for .22s.

I quit buying bulk when the prices got silly.For a few bucks more,you can buy much better quality
I totally believe you and for nostalgias sake would love to see that pic. The cheapest I ever bought 22lr for was about six months ago at Walmart. I paid $54 OTD for a 1000 Winchester M22 40 grain black copper plated round nose. Normally I've paid around $100 for a 10000
