I have Temporarily stopped shooting 22 LR......

[dcxplant]

I scored 3 boxes of .22WMR today at wally world.

Grisly old guy at the counter said the best time of day to buy ammo of any kind is to be waiting at the door at opening time.

Shipments arrive daily, and gets shelved overnight for the next day's business.

YMMV

Well at least Snap Caps are available. I've been doing alot of dry firing lately. Saves ammo and money.

I got lucky and bought a case of CCI SV for $275 shipped.
I had to wait 27 days to get it, but I got it 2 days ago.

I got the same deal (from Target Sports) Ordered it on Jan. 2, delivered yesterday (Jan. 24). Use it with my model 41.

New Years Resolution: if 22LR ever becomes plentiful again, I am buying enough to keep my wife pissed off for 6 months!

As with the last buying frenzy, we've all but stopped shooting our major calibers (.22LR, 9m, 38 spc, .357, 5.56) until sanity is restored.

What if it never is?

My walmart got 10 250 count boxes of Remington UMC 9mm and sold 8 in less than an hour. They also got 10 100 round boxes of Federal 9mm. I got 3 and the rest were gone the next day.I have approx. 650 rounds of 9mm put away for now.

My LGS is supposed to get 10 boxes of the 250 count boxes of Remington UMC 9mm Friday. $75 a box. Not bad since they're $63 at walmart.

I bought a fair amount of 22lr last year after I built a dedicated 22lr AR as I shoot that to save on the cost of 5.56mm. I have other 22lr guns as well and stocking up made sense then and glad I did. I wish I'd bought more now but will still shoot some just not so much as before until this settles down.
The stores I work at are out of most everything now too. I saw 22 short, 44 mag, 380, 17HMR and shot shells the other day was all.

People are complaining they can't shot 22LR. It was only a few months ago that 22 was cheap and plentiful. How come these same people were not buying a brick a month or a brick a week and putting some away for a rainly day? I guess no one remembers the fable about the thrifty ant and the grasshopper.

I am not shooting much of anything, but shotguns right now. Because of availibilty and price. I do have a little over 10,000 rounds of .22lr on hand. Which is not much if you shoot like I do. The last three years I have shot as chose as I can figure ~ 60,000 rounds of .22lr. Right now I can't replace it, as fast as I shoot it. Last 3 years the cost was ~.035 cents as round.
Last week what I am seeing is like ~ .10 - .15 cents a round. I have two cases of 9mm that I gave ~.14 cents a round. Not shooting it either.

I am shooting shotguns more now than ever.

I remember the federal 550 loose pack at 7.49 a box.-hell, I think I still have a few of those.

I still have some bricks from K-Mart with the $7.77 stickers on them.

I found some "decent" deals this week.

Yesterday I bought 5 bricks of CCI Standard Velocity Target (40 grain) for $30.00 OTD each; I see it selling on Gunbroker right now for $50 + $15 shipping.

Today, I found some Winchester 525 Bulk Pack 36 gr. Copper HP's for $23.99. The store got in 8 bricks this morning and there were 7 left when I got there. Too bad they had a "1 brick per day limit" or I would have bought all 7.

This crazy frenzy over guns and ammo is frustrating and reminds of 2008. I had just "found" my love of pistols and shooting. (late bloomer due to ex being a hater of guns) I bought several pistols and a couple of boxes of ammo and started shooting. Then WHAM the gun and ammo craze hit. Couldn't find ammo anywhere except gun shows for exorbitant prices.

I socked away a few boxes and always bought when going shooting. Now I have a small supply and am going to weather this storm and then REALLY stock up. The current Mrs joked I had an arsenal's worth of ammo until the shortage, now she too is saying how we need to buy more when things settle down.

I'm even contemplating learning how to re-load in the future.

Our Walmart has not had 22 ammo for over a month and do not know when, if ever, they will get more. At least that is what the manager is saying.

 

[Retired LTC USAR]

Straightening up the gun cabinet the other night.

have 25 bricks or 22lr, a case or 22lr (5000) and then a tin of 3k .

The brivcks/case are all from the 70's and 80's (my father dated them when he purchased them. Not sure what the date is on the millitary issue tin is.

Guess I have enough to last for a few years.

I've been waiting on 500 Stingers from Cabelas since end of November....
