Whats the ammo fee?

[Mot Mi]

I was wondering the same. Never seen an ammo fee at wally before. Did they pass their own law for ammo tax?

Scored 3 boxes of Remington 225 Golden Bullets at Walmart after work this morning. Went in there to buy a basketball and got so excited about seeing .22lr that I almost forgot my original reason for going!

An ammo "fee" wouldnt bother anyone paying 2011 prices tho. I haven't seen it for that cheap even at wally world in years. Last time i saw federal bricks was spring of 2013 at walmart and they were around 23 bux or so. I thought midwayUSA was the only place still selling bricks for 20 bux

So I waltz in to my local walmart on my lunch today at 2:30 and looking to buy some 5.56... as I'm in the process of buying a can of 5.56 someone ask very loudly if they have any .22lr and he answers "yes". I ask is it the 2 boxes of CCI shotshell you have on the shelf? He says no and pulls a box of Federal 550 from under the counter. My eyes got huge
And I ask whats the limit he said 3 boxes it was 19.77 a box.
.039 cents around after tax
I'll call it a day.

For Federal 550 rounds if cost you $19.77? Which Walmart is this? The Walmart near to my place is $23.97 plus tax.

It's not just the priming compound. The manufacture of rimfire ammo is a highly mechanized process. It's not at all like reloading centerfire cartridges. This is the main reason .22 is so hard to find. The machines required to manufacture it are expensive and arent just available to purchase, even by the big manufacturers. Add to that the level of accracy required to make highly accurate match ammo.....if the priming compound is not evenly distributed in the rim, it will not burn uniformly, causing inaccuracy at the start of the ignition procees, which then snowballs through the entire firing sequence.

Like I said, if you have the capability to make your own .22 why be on this thread. The marketplace forum would be the place to be

Here's a little info on it... Seems CCI took down their production video from Youtube.

Here's another redneck way of doing it. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDDIES...

The following information is provided for informational purposes only.

Backwoodsman magazine, July-August 2001, "Reload Those Rimfires" by Robert Miller
Summary:
1) Wash and dry brass, paying attention to the inside of rim.
2) Get strike-anywhere matches, cut off the white tips, mist lightly with water, gently mash and stir until you get a thick dough.
3) Put a little into the case and press firmly into the rim with a nail head.
4) Long-term air-dry the primed cases, or for higher risk, in a 200 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes, test if dry with a wooden toothpick, chamber a case and test
fire primer.

AGAIN, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. It is in all likelihood not legal anyway.

I've seen the CCI production video and the redneck 22 priming one, too. Very interesting.

I located the CCI production video. Not on YouTube, but on the Outdoor Channel site.

Those same federal bricks were $70 today at the gun show. People were snatching them up like the world was ending. Also the buckets for 179.99.

I'm tempted to buy this for $49.99 ($16.99 is the price of the wobble):


I think it ends up at $0.13/round

I was at a gun show in Las Veges a month ago and similar pricing(bulk packs $80, $90, $100) and still flying off the shelf. Sad but true, the .22 lr panic is probably never going to end as this rate.

One guy had 100rd mini mags for $25 and choot ems for $70. His sales pitch was he was 2 cents cheaper than everyone else. I politely told him have a good weekend.
