.22 lr ammo availability improving?

[5.56]

If you are in the Modesto area I noticed shooters warehouse in Oakdale had a full pallet of federal .22 while I was dros'ing my SIG 239. Don't know if it was a good deal or not at 3250 rounds @ $25.00

Sounds like its cases of federal automatch which is likely $250 per case or $25 per 325 round brick. I'm selling it for 220 per case

I grabbed 20 boxes, (1,000 rounds), of CCI Standard Velocity in the nice plastic 50 round, "Christmas 2016", boxes at Cabela's yesterday for just $3.99 a box with no limit. They had hundreds of boxes of the stuff on the shelf, with no one standing in line to buy it. That just under 8 cents a round. Not bad considering the same stuff was going for a dollar or more a box just before the holidays.

I think they thought it would all sell out and it didn't. We're almost halfway through January, and you can still buy .22 ammo in Christmas packaging. That should tell you something. By Summer I'll bet the price drops another 20% or more. Remember, people have been stockpiling this stuff for over 5 years. (The Sandy Hook shooting took place on December 14, 2012). That's what started all of this.

My lgs (wild Sports in Orangevale) has the Christmas packs for 3.19 per through the rest of the month while supplies last. When I checked in two days ago they had plenty.

My 5 325 round boxes of AutoMatch will show up Monday from PSA, $99.95 shipped.

Billt,
Did the same thing. Brought in 1,500 rounds of the Alvin and Chipmunks
CCI Standard .22. Wife approved of the "cute ammo". SO, today ordered
$900.00 of .223 from SgAmmo, Cabelas and Buds. Did a spread of FMJ, HPBT
and SP. All not taxed, shipping as low as $5.00 per shipment.

Also today, bought 2,000 rounds CCI Mini-Mag 36 and 40 grains
from Cabels, 19 pounds only 26.00 shipping, no tax.

We need to buy now ... later is perhaps not an option for us anymore.

A local shop now has the federal 325rd boxes for $18 and change.
Took some time to get out of the $19 range .... I still have not seen the typical 525rd boxes from federal

[digger2]

Walmart escondido had 1000 round boxes of M-22 for $50.00 today

[rimfire11]

Alvin and Chipmunks that's a good one. I like those boxes because I don't have to write down when I got them.
I've been seeing CCI SV for good prices lately on internet auction sites. Among other things, we're benefiting from retailer excessive stock situations from people having "a lot" already and I'm sure the larger than normal scheduled orders that came/are coming into the stores in anticipation of the elections going the other way.
Wouldn't it be crazy if we're still getting a little bit of the holidays during the summer.

TargetSportsUSA still has a few cases of:

Aguila SuperExtra 22LR High Velocity 40 Grain Copper Plated LRN 5000 rounds for $0.068/round delivered. (Cases are OOS)

I hope this kind of link is OK. A case 5,000 rounds, of CCI STD VEl 22LR $380 "maximum" shipped. If you don't like/have time to play the on line auction game then just hit "Buy Now" for $380 shpd. 2 cases available from this seller this week, but there have been about 4-6 cases cycling weekly over the past month, so be patient.

**This is not my auction and I don't know the person(s) who is/are selling these.

Right now 7 cents a round seems fair. But I wouldn't but a case, (5,000 rounds), at that price today. A brick or 2 sure. I think in another 6 months it will drop off even more. There is no "shortage" of this stuff any longer. And that's what was holding up the price. Once the demand drops off, so will the price even more.
