Bricks on the shelf @ .055c/rd

[2761377]

Right around 1990-1992, I was buying 888 round boxes for $8.88 at Wal Mart. Shot a lot of it too, I remember wanting a Mini-14 and looking at .223 ammo $3.XX dollars for 20 rounds thinking, "Pfft.....way too expensive for plinking".

calling BS on this claim-

-never have I seen 888 round packs of .22 lr and I've been in the market since 1987.

- no walmarts in california then.

I was working at Turner's during the early '90's and cost on a brick of Blazers was $6.45.

You guys really need to define what a "brick" is to you.
It used to be a standard count, now it's all over the board.

This and it wasn't that long ago from a place known to have above average ammo prices compared to Kmart or Wally World:

Hey!

^^^^ Never

30 years ago a brick of 500 was ten dollars regular price. if you actually remember buying .22 LR for a cent or less, congratulations on your longevity.

Come on, I'm not that old but remember buying 50 rd. Packs from k-mart for 49 cents!

^^^----THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING! ----->$6.98 for a brick of 500 in 2004

my indicator has been in the past the cheapest 22lr seemed to match the price of a primer

this insane extended run on long rifle is starting to get annoying

Well, I am that old and still have more than a few bricks of Rem. Golden bullet HS 22s for $5.00 a brick---and many bricks I bought for less than $10.
The routine was, go to store, buy five bricks or so, shoot two or three bricks, go back to store and repeat---after a few decades, you end up with a very healthy stash of 22---so when you find it reasonable priced 22 (by todays standards)---stock up!
