You better SHOP AROUND...!

Interesting... 800 rounds of Federal 22lr LRN at Grab-a-Gun for $0.15 per...

The same at Natchez for $0.10 each! (Which is still a bit high, IMHO?)

That's a 50% premium!

It pay$ to $hop around!

Cheers!

Was out yesterday enjoying the warm weather with the wife and we hit a few yard sales, at one, they had a ton of tools, car electronics and low and behold, in the garage itself was 3 and a half cases of GECO 115gr 9mm, now, if I told you what I done gone and paid for all 3 and a half cases you'd rise up in arms and lynch me, but I will say I found almost a full case of that Winchester cardboard box 12g 00 for 4 bucks a box, which I took along with a bunch of 7.62x39 and a couple of tins of 54R.

I don't think .22lr ammo should cost more than 5¢ a round. Lower is better but I will not bug over 5¢ a round.

I am pretty sure I remember my dad paying a penny a round for 22LR in the mid 1950's, but we have had about 9 times inflation since then.
My Ruger Mk 1 cost $42. in 1967, and it was like buying a fishing reel, no background check, just pay and go.

I still have some old boxes of Winchester marked .29 cents!

I can recall buying surplus 30-06 ammo for a penny a round……. but that was in the early to mid ‘60s when gas was about $.10/gal.

Past 3 weeks Walmart has been getting some ammo in stock. I've been getting CCI Mini Mags $8.73/100 pack, Federal Auto Match and Winchester 333 Bulk pack $18.23/$18.73 box. A Walmart in the next town must have gotten several cases of the Federal Auto Match, the ammo case shelf was full! Still 3 box limit, but people aren't lined up to buy and the girl at our WM said it was sitting on the shelf longer than before.

Right on.

22 over 5 cents..... "Bugs" me also.

About 10 years ago before the President Obama administration the 500 round bulk .22lr ammo cost $9.99 regular price and bought them on sale for $7.99. No reason to go back to the 60s or 70s. Unfortunately during the panic many shooters were willing to pat $100 and more. Since the ammo companies saw that they will never be $10/500 again. I will accept $20 for the bulk pack of 500. 2¢ a round will never be seen again like it was for many years but 4¢ a round is acceptable and like I said above, I refuse to pat more than 5¢ a round.
