Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Ammo Shortages?

Their price is back up to $3.79 today. They also had a 10 percent off code. Snooze 'ya lose.

Yep…if they shipped to CA there would be a bunch on its way here

The deal is back on at Ammoplanet.com. 2.09 per 50 for Aguila standard velocity

Thanks, going to order some / deal was back on so I ordered 80 boxes. With the discount code and shipping ( very reasonable ) it came to 2.25 a box

Has anybody that ordered from ammoplanet gotten their order yet, or maybe a tracking number?

Not trying to imply anything, just curious.

I did finally get a tracking #, they should be good to go.

Thanks!

If it's on the shelf, you can afford to buy it, and you aren't limited to the number of boxes that you can buy, then buy all you want. If another person fails to plan ahead, that's his/her problem. I bought 6k rounds of Eley Champion awhile back 'cause it was available and it was on sale. My purchase didn't put a dent in the store's inventory. Likewise, all of the local WalMarts that sell ammo have plenty of it for the common cartridges and enough variety such nobody has to stay home from the range or the field for lack of ammo.

I feel bad for guys who want to buy ammo that is cataloged, but virtually orphaned and seldom seen on dealers' shelves these days.

Proper prior planning, it works.

What he said👆🏻

No excuse for getting caught short the next time except extreme poverty. Forgo that double no-fun habenero-pumpkin latte for a few weeks and lay in what you’ll need, in dribs and drabs or chunks, while the gettin’s good.

Ordered 11/7, received tracking number 11/9, and supposed to be delivered tomorrow (11/16) by FedEx. From Texas.

Final follow up

Package arrived today. All was there. I’m always hesitant to provide a blanket GTG but I have what I ordered in a total of 10 days

Cool, legit company it seems. The ammo went off sale then back on, plus an out of stock for a day or so. But it seems to be back at $2.09 as of a few hours ago. Good stuff, get ya some.

I decided today, for an hour or 2 at least that I should shoot up some of the 20K plus surplus I have, but would have no qualms about having a case or 2 of this stuff sent to me at this price.

It all could go down in price more.............. or go sky high in a days time. You know what I mean.

I sent a buddy this link and he ordered a case. Received shipping information a few days later

If people aren’t jumping on $21 a brick .22 then forever shut your pie holes about shortages

Rumor on the other forum is that if you create an account, add however many you want to your cart and then close out of the website, they will send a code for 10-20% off of the sale price after a day or so

Target Sports gets my 22LR orders...

Aguila Super Extra copper plated runs well in most 22's I have

Walther P22's seem to prefer CCI Mini's

So if myself or anyone one else wishes to keep a 'lifetime plus inventory' on hand so be it

Need/want it & it's available buy it !

Shortages only occur for people who don't prepare when stuff is plentiful and cheap.

And desperation created by failing to have needful things on hand enables scalpers, speculators, and predatory merchants……., and inspires poor old retirees to become part of the Masquerade Brigade, doing quick clothing changes in Walmart parking lots in hopes of turning a fast buck or two, when they should be sitting in McDonalds drinking coffee and using free wifi.

That doesn’t mean having giant piles of stuff that you’ll never use; that’s stupid IMO, but simply keeping ahead of your consumption so sudden market situations don’t catch you empty-handed. Doing that while supplies are plentiful won’t cause shortages anymore than the folks who go to the range and blast away willy-nilly at 7-yard cardboard zombies. There will be a certain amount of ammo produced every year, to be used, stockpiled, hoarded, or wasted; your dough, your choice.

During the shortage i acquired some of this and for gopher shooting it works as well as CCI Mini Mag, it is as accurate and hits as hard. I have used it in my CZ 452, Tikka T1x, and Cooper 57M, while it can't be considered match grade when using it any gopher within 100 yards is in trouble.

IMO it is the best bargain ammo available for hunting / plinking.

Drover..I agree with you on the Aguila being the best value going on these days.

On a whim I bought some of the standard velocity and it shot remarkably well in several rifles. A few flyers here and there to be expected but it turned in some eye opening groups

This is when targetsports had if for 220 a case and I laid into a supply

If I had the opportunity to shoot at a plethora of little furry vermin like some of you do I’d most likely have a pallet of the speedier hollow point offering

The good prices on .22, 9mm, and even some .223 means it’s not selling as fast as they hoped or expected. Supply and demand works in both directions. Don’t be surprised if the industry takes “corrective action”.
