.22lr ammo starting to show up

[techmike]

But, ye gods the prices!  Ammo Finder  :o

[Microgunner]

As an FFL dealer we're finding more and more inventory of all types available for order lately.

[imschur]

Im seeing .22 and handgun ammo at Midway and Natchez

[Longitude Zero]

None available in ANY of the LGS in my area.  Unless you are there when it is put on the shelf you are outta luck for 22, 223, 9mm, 40, 45 and many rifle rounds.  Once a box hits the shelf a customer is buying it.  Now guns, even AR's are readily available.

223 is actually being advertised again in Houston. Below is the Carter's country ad for this week, and yes....That is an ad for American Eagle 223 on the right hand side for 12.95 for 20. (Limit 80 rounds.).

[Longitude Zero]

At that price they can keep it.

[Jrod77]

the prices will come down with time

[Longitude Zero]

lSightly yes...Pre-Panic I would not hold my breath.

[Jrod77]

i  think prices will hold at 2 or 3 bucks a box higher

[lmao_37]

i  think prices will hold at 2 or 3 bucks a box higher

If your lucky it will only be 2 or 3 bucks higher  >:(

Just an fyi. Up here in the oregon I still havnt seen much 9mm and 45 have been showing up. Acouple small boxes of .22 (I like to call them the "fun size" boxes)

I've checked all the local bi-marts, walmarts, outdoor stores and find shelves full of shotgun shells. Nothing else, if anyone has any ideads, let me know. I'm trying to go plinking

[Jrod77]

Did you check the ammo finder in the first post?

Here in OKC ammo is beginning to show up again in 9mm, 45ACP, 223/5.56 etc.  22LR is nowhere to be found.  A company rep said that 22LR is the lowest profit margin of all ammo made and will be the very last to return to the marketplace.  He said no ammo will be pre-panic prices due to the fact that all ammo pretty much resets upward on Jan 1 as a part of their annual increase in base prices.

The co's he reps for have not raised prices to retail except for the Jan 1 price increase that is normal in the market.

OK, I get part of that, but my understanding (albeit limited) is that a rimfire production line can't be converted to centerfire. The tooling, components and processes are specific to rimfire. The .22lr manufacturers say they are running balls to the walls, so where is it all going?  :confused:

[ravenous464]

MidwayUSA still has some bricks of the Winchester 42 sub sonic for $52 plus shipping and handling.

[asmurff]

TM you're right but they can divert the raw materials to the centerfire line.

[Longitude Zero]

Exactely.  The raw materials are being used on the centerfire line and the rimfire line is completely silent and non-functioning for now.  And again $52 fo r abox of 550 they can keep it.  I will never pay four times pre-panic prices for 22LR.  Now if it was say $20 or so, accomodating annual price increases yeah.  $52 = theft IMHO.

[M4rk]

still horrible here in sothern cali. walmart's shelves are empty. big5 and turners are always sold out 2 mins after they open.

[techmike]

I have not seen much in the stores here in Ohio, but mail order is coming alive. Don't know about Cali though.

[asmurff]

There is now usually a little of CCI Mini-Mags showing up in each truck at the local Sportsman's Warehouse, but you still have stand in line to get it that morning. I still think most of the buyers are reselling it.

[Jrod77]

while school clothes shoping for my son me and my wife each scored a bucket of bullets at cabelas remington is putting out some but the damd out ways the supply

[Longitude Zero]

Locally (OKC) Academy has put all but 9mm and 22LR back on the shelves.  9mm and 22LR are still behind the service counter and rationed.

[eeyore]

In the Denver area, a couple of new Cabela's opened up, The North Store opened with 6000lbs of 22lr. I Believe they had a two box limit and didn't make it through the Grand opening weekend before they were out.

  I avoided the zoo...a friend went the day of the grand opening and gave up after waiting a hour and a half and never made it in to the store.

[Bootleg73]

Looks like bimart is finally getting a staeady amount of CCI 50rd boxes in for $3.49.

I'm so sick of those douche bags on armslist selling bricks for double the original price, in not that desparete
