Thanks for the explanation. We'll see!

Deflagrate, We run some in semi-auto handguns, and I thought that we'd have better feeding and less build-up in the feed ramp area. So, I tried to be patient. In the bolt guns, not so much! memtb

I'm just darn happy to have 22's available again. Have most everything around here again. I don't mind spending a little more, can't expect prices to stay the same forever.

We even have .22LR in New Yorkistan. Dick's had Winchester 555's on sale for $29.95 last weekend. Lots of Remington stuff in the flyer too.

So there you go, just under five and a half cents a round. Right around twenty seven dollars for 500. That's where I "THINK" they ought to be. It's a heck of a lot more than the ten dollars a brick I was paying back in the nineties, but a candy bar cost a lot more than back then too. Maybe I'm just wrong about the "right" price.

Thanks for the explanation. We'll see! My take is that when demand is high, the prices are high "because they can be". When demand is low, prices are high "because we aren't selling much and need to make money". Supply and demand determining price is a concept created by sellers for their benefit, not for that of the consumers.

Supply and demand determining price is a concept created by sellers for their benefit, not for that of the consumers. I just retired from a career as a regional sales manager with a US based aluminum extruder. My position gave me an up-close view of many hundreds of manufacturers and distributors over the years. I have never seen anyone successfully employ the business model described above. Part A is realistic, Part B - not so much.

I bought 2,220 rounds of Winchester/Olin 36 grain HPs today, 222x10, for $126.00, around $0.057 per round. Gunsunlimited in Omaha had a pallet of them on the floor and although I tried, I couldn't resist.

Crap ammo at any price is still crap. Why waste money on stuff that doesn't perform well in your guns?
Only exception might be for pistol practice. At my skill level, accuracy issues ain't due to ammo.
