Yeah I know another ammo thread. This isn't a rant, just sharing what I found today. First time i've seen .22lr in probably over a month and they would only let me buy two packs.

Note the price! :eek:

Not horrible at all for CCI mini-mags. Not great either. Last time I bought them they were in the $8 range. But it's really good ammo and mostly what I break my new guns in with. Then I go to the bulk stuff :)

well I guess that's good to hear, I thought they may be way over priced. I just couldn't leave them on the shelf.
 
On a related note, I noted Walmart Federal 550 bulk packs went up almost $2 each. Of course they didn't have any instock. But that's what the sticker said.:(

How many rounds of these will you shoot to break in your new gun? I just got a 15-22 and haven't shot it yet. I guess I need to get some of these. Not sure what my local Walmart would charge.

Dang, I go to walmart everyday to check. They always have something different, I'm hoping I will get lucky and find a bulk box

CCI it what some people use to "break in their 15-22" i used federal bulk 550 box from walmart. 3000+ rounds later, not one single problem, meybe 4 FTF out of that many plus not including what my wife's shot with her 15-22. Use what you can get. You don't just need to use CCI ammo to shoot or break in your rifle.
 
I bought 2 boxes of Federal Target Grade Performance, 325 rounds per box, for $20 per box at Gander Mtn 2 days ago.
That is the regular price I think.
 
I just picked up my gun this week and went ammo hunting tonight. I'm happy I found this forum! Wondering if I should go back tomorrow and get more of any of these. I see the Mini-Mags are liked here, any of the others? Now if I could only find some extra mags. lol

Winchester Super X HP 50 pack = $3.25
Winchester Super X Super Speed RN 100 pack = $7.25
CCI Mini-Mag 100 pack = $7.25
CCI Stinger 50 pack = $5.25
 
The last time i bought CCI Mini Mags they were £65.00 per thousand or $104.00 And they work great in the Smith no problems!
 
I hope I get lucky and can find myself a few bricks.
 
I got 4 of the 325 round Federal boxes at the gun show yesterday for 35 each. Expensive but I haven't hardly shot this gun since I bought it and the slide fire. Went out and dumped a few mags through it yesterday afternoon.
 
I'm a sucker... when I purchased my new 1522 last week I scoured the shop for lr ammo... what I ended up with: 2 -500ct boxes of some German brand at $80 ea!!!
 
Are we getting that desperate to buy ammo? I use "we" as a broad term but it seems that some are paying WAY too much for ammo. Me, I refuse to pay such prices I have enough saved up so I think I will wait. I will remember the shops and sites though and come hell or high water I won't set foot in those stores again.
