I disagree. I can't find 22lr anywhere while the range I go to has I think about 40 CASES of 40s&w last I checked (at about $25 a pop).

San Bernadino has been a goldmine for .22LR lately. The Walmart there and the Big5's have both been getting in bulk packs lately. I've purchased 3-4k .22 rounds, when I've been actively looking for 9mm and .40 ammo. Which Big5 had plenty of both today when they opened at 10am.NRA Member sigpicComment

Seems like 22lr is much more difficult to get down in socal. I don't have any problems finding .22 ammo up north.Comment

Yea. I decided to stop going to my 2 local WalMarts at 11:00pm in "hopes" that they'll have some. I've yet to see it and the guy there last night that brought out the 9mm and 40 for us who apparently also stocks the shelves said he's seen about 40 boxes (boxes, not cases) of 22lr in the last 5 months. Just ordered a case online instead...Everyone opposes judicial legislation until the judiciary legislates in their favor.Comment

Case (5,000 rounds) of Centurion .22lr (by Aguila) for $210 shipped. I've never shot it, but the few reviews I managed to find pretty much all agreed that it's solid stuff so I thought I'd take the plunge and give it a try.
There are other places that have some in stock, but I don't really want to spend $10 shipping on a $30 brick.Everyone opposes judicial legislation until the judiciary legislates in their favor.Comment

Haha. Yea, I know. But I just don't want to pay $30+ for something I know I can get for $15 under "normal" conditions. I'd rather pay $21 for something that normally costs $21 than $20 for something that normally costs $15
.
Stupid I know, but at least I don't "feel" like I'm getting gouged
. Sad thing, I don't even consider anything under $25 for Federal bulks gouging but I'd still rather do the $21/brick of something I've never shot just because that's what I'd normally pay for it.

We also normally, for years paid around paid $1.65 for a gallon of gas. I think it may be time to accept the facts that:
Obama, Democrats, Anti-Gunners & Recession = higher prices and (for now) less quantities of ammo. The days of $13.00 bricks of .22 LR are gone! If some of these pending senate bills do pass you will be begging your best buddy to sell you one of those $30.00 bricks he stashed away when he could,and if you want to shoot you will pay him dearly for it. Hence the hoarding frenzy."You can't handle the truth"Comment

Oh, no, I totally understand the concept of inflation, as well as the law of supply/demand; however, I also know that WalMart is still selling these bulks for about $15 when they have them. Just because I can't find them doesn't mean that $25+ is suddenly a "deal" for what is still, last time I checked, $15 ammo. Like I said, it may be stupid, but I'd rather pay "normal" retail than "gouged" retail even if "normal" is a buck or 2 more (obviously for different ammo). In any case, what I'm fairly happy with how much I paid for what I'm getting. Assuming I like what I'm getting in the first place on a non-price-related scale.
I should mention that I believe, a bit, in leaving some for the next guy. If I found 6 boxes at WalMart, I'd take all 6, but if there's a guy standing next to me also looking for that, I'd totally say "here, you take 3, I'll take 3" even if I got there first. I don't want to contribute to the incentive to buy up everything you can find just so you can resell it. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but that doesn't mean I have to support it.Last edited by snobord99; 06-04-2009, 10:29 PM.Everyone opposes judicial legislation until the judiciary legislates in their favor.Comment

That's the problem,"when they have them" and it is not too often based on what I see and read in these forums. If AB 962 passes, those $15.00 bricks will be just a campfire memory anyway.
Oh, wait a minute!!! We won't be able to have any campfires either since they are not green firendly........"You can't handle the truth"Comment

I just found some bricks of this Centurion today, and it was local. The dealer said that it was supposed to be very impressive. I passed on it, but it was $27 a brick.
Anyone remember what a brick of federal or the equivalent, was going for at the last Crossroads show?May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.
