22LR on the shelf at Local WallyWorld

[DutchHenryBrown]

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.

I always figured that they woudl figure out a way to manufacture enough 22 ammo to catch up. Took a while though.

The question is, will there be any there tomorrow, and how much per round was it? My guess is no. And near 10 cents per round. Please let me know if I am wrong..

Walmart has held their prices down and that's why there's always a bunch of guys buying it all up... Many times to resell it for what ever the market will bare!

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

Actually when in comes to WalMart, a friend or relative of the person in the gun area gets a phone call before .22 ammo ever hits the shelf (a "perk" I guess). Dunno about others but we have so many other options around here...WalMart would be the last place I would consider for ammo but that might be that they stock their stores with local competition in mind...their sporting goods area here is pretty pathetic).

My Brother has 7,000 rounds of 22 ammo. Every time he sees it available in Wal-Mart he buys it. He don't shoot more than 200 rounds a year. :confused3:

I have seen it here on a very rare occasion. I have a couple 22s and they really only like CCI high velocity. If I don't use it , my Sig Mosquito and my S&W will jam.

22lr is coming back around. Sadly your $15 a brick stuff is gone forever. 22 magnum is virtually impossible to find.

If I am in town tomorrow I will check again, price today for the 100ct was $8 something I do not remember the number.
