.22 lr ammo availability improving?

[BLK]

I've been out of the ammo buying game for quite a while, and was wondering how things look in terms of .22 lr availability compared to a year ago. Are things getting better or worse?

Midway USA has CCI mini mag for 2 days and still showing available, I guess it's a lot better....

1500 rds CCI, $141.80 shipped insured

Buds Gun Shop has CCI MiniMag solids and HPs, as well as CCI SV listed. All have 500rds/order limits, but I use them all in different guns. $7.99/100, 8.99/100, and 3.99/50. Not great, but better than LGS and no sales tax offsets most of the $18 shipping/insurance. My LGS was selling MiniMag HPS for $9.09/100, but is now at $9.99. I bought 12K at $9.09. They had the green label "competition" on the shelf for $17.99, quoted me $17.99, but rang up at $20.50 and would not honor the lower price. I left without making a purchase.

Those green label CCI shoot amazingly well in my target 22.
Not well enough to win a Benchrest Match but well enough for local club matches.
Too bad they wouldn't honor the price.

I got a 500 brick of blazers the other day.
Had not seen these for some time.On sale price was $22 and change I believe.

Big5 currently has mini-mags for $10.99/100, which depending on shipping from online places can be worthwhile.

Both Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse has all you want with no limit. Sportsman's has the better prices. I bought 500 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity for $49.99. For some reason Standard Velocity costs more, and is not as available...... Until now. The availability is much better. Now if only the prices would come down a bit.

Seems rather high... IMHO... :-(

I retrieved my buckmark from jail recently, but a few days before that there was federal ammo sale, I bought 12 boxes of 325, but hesitated in getting more because I wasn't sure how it would perform in my firearm, maybe FTF or FTE, etc.
Well, I now regret not buying 50 boxes... Stupid Hayward Dicks Sporting first let me buy 4 boxes, next day 2 boxes, went to Dublin, he said how many, I said 6, no problem... WOW....... Should have come back the next 2 days and bought 10 each.

Where to find 22lr for <$0.06???

Federal was ~$20 per 325 or 6.15 per round, including tax. Only 1 dud from 1 box that I used, and no other issues.

The ultimate clip loader bought from amazon for $20 is amazing, http://www.mcfaden.com/McFadden-Mach...der-s/1827.htm
I was able to reload my mags in 10 seconds or less each. I probably would have spat fire if I was reloading 325 box by hand, and certainly wouldn't have gone through 425 rounds in 90 mins.

Going to hit up Dicks, Wally World and Ammo brothers to see how much .22lr is in stock and how much it is. Have not done that in a while.

Saw the Big5 ad this morning...any experience with RWS 22LR ammo? Selling for $8.99/box of 50 rounds.

18 cents per round, for a 22lr, are you nuts?

BIG5 is almost 2 times more expensive for most ammo...

Sorry I havent kept track of 22LR lately. Been playing with the 45ACP crowd lately. LOL

Big 5 can kiss my stones.

More .22lr for me.

I get my share from other sources at a much lower price point..
