What happens now? :(

[tgunsmoke]

What am I going to do about the trusty ammo finds thread that's locked? Where else am I supposed to find awesome people pointing me in the direction of bulk boxes of .22lr?


In all seriousness, any tips guys? I'm subscribed to a few ammo alerts, and gunbot is always inaccurate.

Just bookmark the .22lr page for Cabela's and Gander Mountain and check at your own leisure. I was able to get another 2 bricks that way since the thread was locked. Entertaining thread, that's for sure.

Bookmark pages, use more than 1 search engine, keep an eye on deal sections on websites. Basically, back to doing in the "hard way".

Holy crap that thread got stupid. I read the last few pages(hadn't kept an eye on it in a while, didn't need to) and it was just a bunch of people going out of their way to try and keep deals secret and then talking crap to people who actually posted something.

Where are you located, Tgunsmoke?

[ElvenSoul]

Ammoseek.com comes to mind

I wish we could format the thread to only allow a link to be posted. Maybe a fill-in-the-blank form that automatically updates a spreadsheet?
Or maybe a PM messaging group that keeps known flippers out of the equation.

I'm about to resort to paying $45/brick to take my girlfriend and her little sister out to shoot my first 10/22.

There is a reason they did this, to try to prevent idiots from coming to the thread to buy ammo and then repost it for twice the price the the Ammo classifieds section.

Bottom line is if you want to find .22 lr ammo you need to put your time in. Now most .22 lr Cabelas has shows up in their regular rimfire page. No special "greedy hoarder" links needed. Just check often.

The thread was for people to post deals, not keep them secret. I never said anything about anyone being a "greedy hoarder"(most of the people on this forum would lose their **** if they knew how much I had stashed still).

If you're hiding the ammo in the "ammo finds - post them here" thread, you're doing it wrong. The paranoia you guys have about ammo flippers is absolutely silly(and obviously wasn't stopping the flippers anyway).

I hate the word "Hoarder" It is insulting. But I agree. I have found no less than 2500 rounds at my Walmart the last month. I have never had to buy .22 ammo online.

Now hard to find stuff like 38-40, .30 Carbine and so on. That is a different story.

.22 is a breeze compared to some of the calibers I shoot. Consider yourself Lucky if all you have to find is lowly .22 ammo

I will trade .22 for some of the real hard to find stuff..

[jakep]

So you have 2500 plus rounds because it was a good deal and there are people like me and my girlfriend that end up buying from flippers because we can't find ammo with a full time job. :-/

[AR22]

I have more like 10,000. I work too fella. But I find a way.

Send a brother, Uncle, Sister, of age offspring, Friend, your parents. Whoever. Buying from flippers is a Lazy way out and drives the madness on..

I do not need anyone to tell me how much of anything I can buy with MY MONEY and when..STOP WHINING..JEEZ

I do not know who gets on my nerves more. Whiners or the flippers.

Not sure what you even mean by a good deal. I buy ammo when I can when it is priced right...Sorry I am smart I guess..

There are 5 people in my Family that shoot .22. Not that I should even have to tell you that..WOW

I will likely buy more this week just to make you madder at me

Sorry to everyone else here that this guy dragged me into defending his stupid comments.

I will not reply to him any further.

If you, your girlfriend, and everyone else who buys from flippers would just stop, then the flippers wouldn't have a market to sell to. 2500 rounds isn't that many, and someone else shouldn't be forced to not buy 2500 rounds just because you can't be bothered to try to find some deals(and no, it doesn't require camping at the local walmart daily, or sitting at the computer every waking moment of the day).

[AR22]

I know guys that have well into the 20,000 plus range. I am small time.

Just yesterday afternoon we went out as a Family and shot over two Bulk Packs.

5 people shooting adds up to alot of consumption..10,000 rounds gives us 10 Family outings this Summer. Yes I will buy more or the shooting season will end quickly.

Good thing I never disclosed how many total rounds in our Arsenal for all the Calibers we shoot is. He would have gone CRAZY, and expected me to share my ammo wealth with him

My Cabelas is around 80 miles away or I would buy some from there too..

This is another reason the thread got shut down. Crying about how life isnt fair.
Tell you what......go back and do a little research throught the locked thread and you will find all kinds of links in there. I think that was the problem most people had...thosevwho want it easy, and those who work to find the ammo. No one is going to feel sorry for you because uou cant find ammo. You have to do the footwork yourself.
Should I sell you the ammo I have purchased through my patience for the same price I paid for it? Why?

[Eljay]

20,000 is small time if you compete. I put in orders with the CMP 10K rounds at a time a couple of times a year. They're really backordered right now but they are taking orders again if anybody wants to get in the queue. Apparently they're getting in 1,000 cases every other month of Aguilla plus whatever surplus they can scrape up plus they have in orders with other makers. I just got a couple of cases from them the other day and I have backorders for four more.

Anyway, the ammo reference page listed above is very helpful or there's a more "chatty" type thread in off topic. But right now the best deals are at Gander and basically if you're around in the evenings (somewhere around 8-10pm) set an auto checker running and keep an eye on it. Last time I did that and there was a big drop I picked up a case of the federal bulk packs (5250 rounds) for $250 delivered. Might take a couple of weeks but you only have to be lucky once.

If you don't need quantity I gather Cabelas has had Blazers almost daily lately and it's good ammo. The only issue is you can only get it a brick at a time.
