So how's the rimfire ammo supply in your local stores? #9597400 02/12/15 Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 60,063 Banana Belt, Montana M Mule Deer OP Campfire Kahuna OP Mule Deer Campfire Kahuna M Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 60,063 Banana Belt, Montana In the past couple weeks I've been in three sporting goods stores in my part of Montana when looking for other stuff, and found pretty good supplies of rimfire ammo on their shelves, right out in the open, without crowds of people pushing and shoving to buy any. in fact two of the stores had several FEET of stack boxes of rimfire ammo, including .17 HMR, .22 Long Rifle (both hollow-point and solid), and .22 Magnum. Now, some of the prices weren't exactly low. Hundred-round boxes of one desirable brand of Long Rifle hollow-points were $9.99, but none of the bricks of solid-point Long Rifle was over $30. .17 and .22 Magnum were $12 to $15 per 50. I didn't need any of it, and apparently nobody else did either while I was in any of the shops. Was just wondering if this was happening elsewhere. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

Prices, when the stuff is even available, is +/- $40/brick of regular stuff and Eley's still about $18/box of 50.. It's really irritating.. Ex- USN (SS) '66-'69 Pro-Constitution. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!

Then, this week became 22lr lotto. I picked up 2 bricks of 22lr in the campfire classifieds here this week - $30 ea (shipped). Gone in about 8 minutes 1 brick of 22lr at my local ma & pa gun shop this week at $32, last box in stock. 5 bricks of 22lr at Gander Mountain yesterday for $20 ea, but they were only selling it to guys buying new 22lr rifles from them, which obviously I did. All 8 bricks Rem thunderbolt Do it today. Tomorrow there may be a law against it. NRA Life Member

Some shorts, but none of the really good stuff.. Haven't seen any for several years since all this started really.. Two or three years ago, I was deer hunting in Pa. I went to a big gunshop in central Pa. and they had unlimited Remington 22 LR hollow points.. I bought about a case.. BUT that didn't last long.. Before i left, the ammo was gone.. And on a return trip last year there was only shorts, and some expensive match stuff as I remember.. In central Wy. they seem to have .17 HMR and .22 mag., but no 22 ammo other than maybe shorts.. Powder seems tough to get also. Although there are some numbers that seem plentiful.. IMR4831 is tough to find.. Molon Labe

Wal-Mart claims to have it, but I haven't seen any at WM for several months. Have been told that WM empolyees are holding it for sale to their friends who, in turn, sell it at gouging prices at local gun shows. None elsewhere that I've seen, unless you were will to pay $8 to $10 for 50 count box of basic 40 grain lead HV, the same stuff that was less than $2 per box of 50 before the school shooting in Connecticut. I still have a few thousand rounds around, but that was more due to being out of action for most of 2014 than finding it in any quantity and at a fair price.

Wally world is always out, Academy gets Super Colibris most of the time, and regular Aguila on occasion. The local gun shops have ammo, but not all the time, prices are better than last year. If I took a drive today and visited 2-3 gun shops I probably could come home with ammo, can't be picky on the type and brand though, just what they have on the shelf. I was at the gun range on Wednesday and actually shot up 2 1/2 boxes of ammo in the afternoon, very unusual for me as I treat each cartridge like I am shooting gold nuggets. Usually use my pellet guns or centerfire over the .22's. But now that I can actually get ammmo I am loosening up some on the use of it. Frankly I don't think this shortage issue will end until Odumba is out of the White House. So will continue to use the pellet guns alot until then.

I bought the two 100 round boxes I was allowed and moseyed out the door. The following Sunday a buddy was in town and I suggested we go and see if Scheels had any rimfire left.......about a 1000 rounds was left. To be fair, we had a huge wrestling tournament and gun show in town, so no doubt that impacted sales somewhat. I just went back yesterday after work and the rimfire ammo cabinet was stocked with 17HMR and CCI 22 mag. I need to get a 17.

Some rifles and handguns will shoot almost anything well (Eileen's Anschutz is one rifle, my Ruger Mark II "slabside" another), but with most don't. There are some kinds of ammo that shoot at least decently in a lot of guns, but there are always exceptions. In my experience Auto Match tends to work more often than not. Between us we have 14 rifles and handguns chambered for the Long Rifle. Got a good deal on two kinds of .22 Shorts this past year and decided to see how they'd shoot. In some guns they did very well, in others they tended to scatter--and in others they were in between. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

Only two stores in the county that I live in even try to retail it at normal prices. When it comes in, you better be there because the next day it's all sold. Any other places get any, it's like $30 for a box of Minimags and such ripoff tactics. The largest local gun/hunting/fishing store gets in several cases at a time, usually CCI, prices it at what it was before the mothereffing democrats got elected and you've got 24 to 48 hours to get some and it's gone until another random shipment comes in. As far as Walmart goes, if they get any in, I've not seen it in over two years now. I can drive 70 miles or so up to Huntsville and Larry's usually has some, but there's most often a two box limit per customer, so if you didn't bring a carload of people with you or actually live nearby, it isn't worth the trip. I can't afford to buy in bulk anymore, so shipping charges usually make it uneconomical to try to order in from the internet site retailers. I've stopped all rimfire shooting except for serious hunting shots, no more target practice or plinking period. This mess has accomplished in a roundabout way exactly what the gun controllers would like to see, expensive and hard to get ammo for the guns that are the basic meat and potatoes and beginners firearms. All some democrat has to do is go "boogah boogah" and the next day all hell breaks loose and people are scrambling all over each other clawing for the last box of whatever the boogerman of the week was.

As soon as they get it in they sell out the same day it seems even with a 2 box limit. The smaller gun shops in my area don't get bricks very often. But usually have some kind of 22lr 50 rd boxes available even with a 4 box limit they manage to keep it. You can't be picky though about it. One week it might be CCI... the next Remington. Also the prices vary even on the same brand ammo from shipment to shipment. They usually manage to keep it pretty reasonable. If I'm in dire need of it I'll stop in and get a few boxes. I've went to ordering ammo online exclusively to get the same brand and make ammo every time. I would love to support the local guys, but if they don't have what I want then they don't have it.

I got a supply to give away at Quemado, and for me to shoot by being there before everyone else, but I could only do that because I am retired.

Mule Deer #9723016 03/30/15 Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 80 T TeleCaster Campfire Greenhorn TeleCaster Campfire Greenhorn T Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 80 The .22LR situation is still dismal here in northeastern Oklahoma and, from what I can see, equally pathetic in northwestern Arkansas. I live in a smallish college town of 16,000 population that is the county seat of a county with 44,000 residents. We have a 24 hour Walmart with an ammo display that constantly looks as though it's been raped, and two gun shops inside the city limits, with a third outside of city limits. None of the three LGS's have any .22LR in stock. We have Atwoods Home and Ranch in town and they sell ammo, but I haven't been in to see if they have any .22LR or not. Cabela's in Rogers, AR was wiped out of .22LR when I was there last -about two weeks ago, now. Academy in Rogers didn't have any. Academy in Tulsa didn't have any. I don't want ANYTHING bad enough to set foot in Dick's so I didn't bother looking. Bass Pro in Broken Arrow ain't my favorite place, either. But one of my LGS's did have a schnitzit load of IMR 4350 and 4064, so I bought several canisters of each.... The reason? I can use that in my little Ruger M-77 Ultralight in .250 Savage -which for the last three years has been to me what my old 10/22 Deluxe was. They also had .457" round balls and some 777 and I bought a bunch.... The reason? My Ruger Old Army is now doing what my 22/45 bought right around Sandy Hook never got much of a chance to do. Cabela's was loaded with .223. So was Academy. Both had plenty of 9mm..... One LGS had a smokin' deal on a CZ 75 clone that looked decent, so I bought it just to take advantage of recent decent 9mm supply. I'll probably buy an AR so I can plink with a rifle a bit cheaper than I can with my .250 Savage. In my area, there's a gun show virtually every weekend, within an hour's drive of my home. And that, right there, is why I think I'm not finding .22LR on the shelves in retail stores. No real proof, mostly idle speculation, but I suspect that my local Walmart doesn't have any because a small group of people who are able to are getting there when the shipment first comes in and buying it all up, only to re-sell it later at highly inflated prices at one of the many gun shows in the area. Someday, I hope it returns to normal. I'm still shooting, though... I have 9 boxes of WW Wildcats I'm keeping in reserve until I can find a brick to replace it, but until then, it's cap n' ball, my .20 Beeman R-9, and .250 Savage to the rescue !!

I have been buying higher grade stuff in case lots at current wholesale prices from online dealers who specialize in supplying target shooters for the past several months... Plinking ammo is still difficult to find in my area, selling out almost the day it hits the shelves...I've boycotted the dealers who limit quantities and/or jack prices and will continue to do so....Midway, Walmart and their ilk can stuff it.... Life's too short to smoke cheap cigars....

The shipping would put my delivered cost @ $45 a brick. But I went ahead and got a permit for 300,000 rounds. That was when most anything that would shoot was bringing 75-100 bucks from the scalpers. But now things seem to be easing up, here, so I've held off. Don't want to be stuck with that much ammo at 15$ above the "normal" price. To answer your question they don't have the hysterical hoarders and cannibals we have in the US and their supply of RF ammo is just fine. I urge everyone to remember who stuck it to you during the shortage and never do business with them again, once the hysteria is over.

Still one per customer, but the supply was huge, so that bodes well for the future. They also had a lot of the standard velocity odds and ends they usually have and some bulk Remington ThunderDUDS. Of course the demand may just continue to far exceed the supply and then we'll still have problems......but this does look better for now.

Do recall a clerk of one of the Walmarts I visit more often responding to my question about, "you ever get in 22 LR ammo in stock". Her answer was yes. My next question, "Are the same guys always buying it?" She didn't give me an answer, kinda just walked away. But, other places that sell ammo in my area have had some kind of 22 ammo in stock for a number of months now. Might not be what I'd like to buy for the 22 rifles I like to shoot, when it comes to accuracy, but its 22 ammo and some of it is reasonably priced.

Then last night the wife and I were trapped off island by traffic jam on the bridge. We strolled through Walmart to kill time. I wanted to show her the ammo shortage. I told her guys were buying 22 ammo and posting pics like a hunting trophy. I said, "See, they have a sign that says we are out of 22 ammo, and cabinet is bare!" Then I noticed that there were three little boxes in there. I bought them. The wife asked if I was going to post about it. I said, "No, I'm not that shallow."

Academy has been good about keeping some Aguila around as well. It was on the pricey side, but bought a box of the hollow point Federal for $3.50. I usually see .22 RF at my local gun shops now, so I pick up a box or 2 occasionally. Walmart is a total waste of time for me to even check. I am waiting for the bulk Blazer to show up, will get a brick or two of that when I can. It shoots well in all my guns. Last edited by HE112; 05/03/15.

I've seen 22LR ammo for sale on the shelves of three small shops in the last two weeks, and at reasonable prices. I was pleased to see one local gun shop go out of business a couple months ago. Normally I would not say such a thing, but this place was notorious for price gouging on .22 ammo during the worst of the hoarding. It was well known around the area that staff from the store would pick up bricks of ammo on the cheap at big box stores and then resell it for 4 to 5 times the price in their shop. People took notice of this gouging, resented it, and the shop is now closed. ***************************************** Hunting FOR Savages, Hunting WITH Savages

I also remember how Cheaper than Dirt were charging $199.99 for a brick of Armscor .22's awhile back. I always throw their catalog in the trash when it comes to me. I went to my Austin Walmart today, low and behold, some CCI brand .22 inside the glass door. Wow, been years since I have seen that, looks like things are easing up. Last edited by HE112; 05/04/15.

I think it is the same with businesses. My LGS seems to be charging "higher than expected" prices, but then I don't know what they had to give for it. They certainly aren't gouging to the extent some are. When the various "black rifle" or "semi-auto" crises happen, they don't overly take advantage. They no longer discount, and charge MSRP, but they don't gouge. As you might imagine, hey also sell out pretty quick! I have also seen them treat unknowledgeable widows fairly. They have more than earned my business.
