What gives with the price and availability of 22LR ammo?

Hi,

Maybe it isn't just 22LR, but since I load most of my centerfire I don't notice it as badly. Are the days of a <$20 brick of 22LR long gone forever? I'll be honest and say it doesn't really make me want to take out my 22's much... I reckon I'm just complaining, I usually check Walmart everytime I go for 22 and they haven't had any sitting on the shelf for probably the last 9 months of my checking.

Thanks,

Alan

Old turds get up at 4 am and go to Walmart and stand in line to buy it all up to hoard it cause they have no life.

Good luck on the Walmart inventory. The ammo-can.com link doesn't work either. I have made two trip to the 71st and kenosha store based on the link saying they had tons of 22 ammo in stock only to find empty shelves. The lady behind the gun counter said they get calls all the time from people saying they seen it on an app. Cabelas still sells the 525 Remmys for around 22.99.

Next time you are in the BA walmart walk over to the shelves and look at the sticker prices. I think .05 to .06 will be the new norm.

I imagine they aren't producing as much .22lr due to the overwhelming demand for centerfire over the last year. Profit margins are probably higher on those tactical cartridges. All about that bottom dollar

everybody has a .22 and has to feed it.

Didn't we go through this a couple of years back....22lr was in short demand for around 6 months and prices went through the roof....I agree with Oklahomabassin......DEJA VU

Just gave a 550 round box to a buddy at work for his grandsons to shoot....sucks for the young shooters that are missing out.
