Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires So how's the rimfire ammo supply in your local stores?

Was able to buy my first brick off the shelf at my LGS last week, in over 3 years. It was selling faster than he could get it re-stocked to the shelf.

7.2 cents/round for plinking ammo.

Pretty hard to find locally-I've picked up a couple of bricks by being in the right place at the right time. I've had the best luck with Midway by checking every day. CCI SV seems to be the most common at about $40/brick (both Midway and local store).

This morning at Dicks.

Local Dicks, Gander Mountain, Walmart get sporadic small shipments.
Sell out quickly, don't make it to the shelves.

Corning, Elmira, Utica, Albany, Schenectady, Kingston, areas of NY

Local Wally World had some .17WSM, but no .22LR this weekend. In the recent past, they HAVE had some Winchester 555 boxes, but the flatnosed bullets won't feed very well in my rifles. Besides, I already have two boxes of them. Can't find CCI MiniMags anywhere, but the local LGS has some, I'm told, $10/100 limit.

It's that stuff you have stacks of in your basement!

Y'all get a chance you might keep an eye open for this stuff.

Still hard to find in Michigan. Hit or miss, mostly miss.

My LGS has it on the shelf continuously now. Seems to be a good variety. Can't say whether the prices are good or bad. Gave $60 per brick for Norma and $40 per brick for CCI, out the door. That's what the grandsons got for Christmas.

I can buy as much rimfire ammo as I want and of any variety. Never been a shortage in my area; I don't live in the U.S. though.

Post a pic from today.

Rare to none, if there at all it is usually the match stuff that is over $10/50 rounds

That would be interesting. Next time I'm near there I'll check.

Yeah. I say that because I saw the same thing in Scheels one day. Went back at the end of the day (forgot something) and they were wiped out.

hit and miss. some Winchester M22 fun packs are showing up periodically

Picked up some CCI subsonic off Midway limit was 2 bricks. One store in the city has a bit of CCI fairly regularly. They will sell you a couple boxes at a time. Walmart gets it in but the regular scalpers are there every Thursday morning according to the clerk. There is a Dicks Sporting goods in the mall now but I haven't been there.

Heard the same old conspiracy crap 3rd hand that the Air Force base in Cheyenne was stockpiling it I can't believe people buy into that chit.

But I heard it on the interweb ... gotta be true.

Naw they heard it from the truck driver hauling the ammo.

Just left a store in Tallahassee with a brick of Norma TAC .22. Didn't make a scratch in the stockpile on display. Dozen brands or so, shorts, longs and LR. All the .17 and WMR a fella could carry and more.
