Wouldn't mind getting my hands on some Stingers. haven't seen any of those in several years. Might try checking your area Walmart stores. Ours has their's priced at (IIRC) $6.97 + tax so obviously a 500 rd 'brick' (if they have that many in stock) would be almost $70.00 plus sales tax.

And worth every penny if your gun shoots them well. The fragmenting version should be a killer-diller too, but the box I have doesn't group as well.
It's been a while, but Stingers are the only LR round I trust to take chucks cleanly with a chest shot. Others, including Yellow Jackets, have let them make it down their holes.
What fresh Hell is this?

Hit the West Palm gun show today for the first time after checking out the combat pistol match at Hollywood Gun Club. Don't usually buy ammo at gun shows, but found these at what I thought were reasonable prices, given the current landscape. The CCI SV's were $50.00/500 as marked and the Aguila Super Extra's were $35.00/500. Both prices were for cash, sans tax.

i found some Stingers at academy the other day. they were pricey but i went ahead and bought them. it's just paper, afterall.
velocitors by cci is my choice. but what good is a choice if the display cabinet is empty?
der browning people seem to be offering a product very equivalent to velocitors, but i haven't verified it.

Been to two Walmarts in the east Tx area and both had CCI MinMags and Stingers in stock. First time I have seen any in three years or more. Bought my three allowed boxes at both.
My Sig Mosquito will be happy! I really need to sell that gun, to finicky.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....

Cabela's in Tualatin has a bunch of 22LR in stock right now. I just bought a brick of the SK (Lapua) std's for my target grade 10-22...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

BassPro has Federal Auto Match for $19.99/box of 325. That's not a bad deal. Gunshows here had them for $30-40.00 recently. One of the LGS is being stingy and still wanting $30.00 a box.. Needless to say, I won't buy any 22lr from that guy ever again..

Will call them tomorrow and see if they've got any left.

Will call them tomorrow and see if they've got any left. Back in mid-April a local Walmart had 325 round bulk packs of Fed Auto Match priced at $17.42 + 6% KY state sales tax. Haven't seen anymore of them in stock since though but they very well could have and sold them all before the next time we shopped there.

I agree, the automatch at $19.99 is a great deal. I've never had any problems with them.

Well, went back and picked up 2 more boxes of Federal Auto Match (met a "friend" there to buy the 2nd box) yesterday at BassPro after work.
Will call again today after i get off and see if any are left.

I did find federal 325 for $19 the other day and found the remington buckets for I think $96 at Cabelas they were 1400 rounds but that doest seem like a very good deal since the remington 550 boxes was $28 at a local store

I bought 1/2 of my stash at the local Walmart over the years when things were on sale or when I saw something I wanted to try.
Since the mad rush, I haven't seen a single box of .22s at the same Walmart short of .22 shotshells.
This is going on what, 2-3 years now?

Never ever see any .22 at Walmarts around me.
For now, just keep picking up Auto Match for $19.99/box of 325 at BassPro near me.
So, until they make me stop, I'll keep doing that. At $21.19/box OTD with tax, that puts them at $.065/rd.
Pretty decent round for that price these days.
Actually cheaper than case price from a whole bunch of other places I just checked online a few minutes ago on ammoseek.

In the two years we've lived here I have never seen any .22 rimfire at the local Walmart. I was in there the other day and they had some, also some .17 HMR. Must be the local hoarders with connections ran out of money or storage space. I was at Gander Mt yesterday and they had lots of .22 rimfire, limit 10 boxes, except 550 2 or 4, don't remember.
I'd like to find some .22 mag and really like to find some .17 Mach II.
