22LR on the shelf at Local WallyWorld

[MossRoad]

Every time I go to W/M for anything I always walk past the ammo area to see if any 22's made it to the shelf area. Well today for the first time in years they had some Winchester 22LR 100 count boxes for sale. No big deal but I was happy to see it.

What was the price? Just curious if its gone up.

I think this whole shortage thing is embarrassing. I can't believe I live in a society that hordes 22 ammo.........

But tractor hording is O.K. :thumbsup:

I think that's the same I paid about a year and a half ago. Thanks.

Our WalMart is very hit or miss on 22LR. The other day they had about six boxes of Winchester M-22 (1000 rds, $54.95), about ten boxes of Federal AMT (325 rds, $19.95) and some CCI 22 CB caps. 22 WMR has been very scarce, but they've got at least three brands of .380 on the shelf and that's been available for quite awhile now.

Most days, it's not worth even walking by the counter if it's past 10AM, the scalpers will have it all. The store started a 1 box minimum for bulk box and 3 box minimum for 50/100 round boxes, but the scalpers just brought more friends in with them. You can see them every morning at McDonalds, eating breakfast and sitting around drinking coffee until 8AM, then they head to WalMart and stand in line, pretty much the same guys every day.

I went to a LGS today, he had a bunch of CCI Mini Mags on a shelf, $10.00 per hundred pack... (tax included)

I didn't see even one box sell while I was there, and I know the owner personally so I was there quite a while BS'ing with him.

That isn't bad pricing.

Seems to be shortage here our Walmart and the three in Roanoke Va as well as sporting goods never have any. Occasionally my local gun shop gets 50rd. CCI rounds at .09 cents around, just seems criminal to me. I set up notification with several online dealers for rounds no more than .07 cents a round I get the most notifications for Cabelas which lets you order one 333 round or 500 round box a day. So I stocked up earlier in the year as I like to hunt squirrels and plink some. My .02 cents

Our Walmart has had 22LR's on and off for the last year or so.... But they are usually not a full 40 grain bullet, and lots of times they are not plated.

I only have 1 tractor and 2 lawn mowers, but how many attachments can you have before is considered hording? I have 13 loader & 3 pt. combined and getting ready to add a turning plow. :cool2:

Back to topic. I have been finding 22LR fairly easily at big box sporting goods since last March but have best luck at private guns shops and not overly priced. 10 cents/round for CCI and 6 - 7 cents for Winchester bulk boxes.

My recent experience has been that I can find .22 at most gun stores, and the price is usually $5/50 for the lower end stuff and $10/50 for the higher end. Sometimes, they are out of the $5/50, but it usually surfaces in a week or two.

I think what most of us miss/can't find are the bulk boxes and bricks for $15 to $20 range. I haven't seen those (at that price) in a store in forever. However, I've been able to get them from Academy (online) about once a month or once every two months. They have the 333 bulk box for $18 and the 500 round thunderbolts for $25, just have to be quick when they are in stock to get them order. They offer free shipping for orders over $25, and they limit you to one box per order, so I usually order an extra box of .223 or .308 or something to get to the minimum order.

I'm sure someday we will get back to .22s in Wal-Mart (regularly), but it may still be a while.

Good luck and take care.

I dislike the thought of paying 9 or 10 cents per round for .22s, but back in the 50s a penny per round was typical. Comparing the costs of other things then and now, today's .22 prices aren't far out of line.

Saw a thread somewhere else that said a couple of the major .22 ammo manufacturers were in the process of increasing their output. Things should start looking up in a few months.

oops--double post.

I was at Wally world today, and saw no .22 of any kind. but quite a few .380 and other common pistol calibers. More .380 than I have seen in years. Not cheap mind you, anywhere from .35 to .40 cents per round, but plenty of it.

Local Wally World gets 22 shipments on a regular basis. Same 4 or 5 old guys are there waiting every morning and buy all they get They must do a lot of shooting.
