And the ammo companies still haven't risen to meet demand. I get that it doesn't make sense to build a new factory to meet fluctuations in the marketplace, but 6 years isn't a fluctuation; it's the new normal. They are straight up failing us and no one seems to give a chit.


Must be your location......
There's stacks of almost all the rimfire manufacturers stuff in all the stores around here.
Which is odd because I didn't see a single box for at least five years.

Agree about the price but you better get used to it cause I don't see it changing very much....if at all.

I'm stacked. But, I'll still buy more if the price is right.

i witnessed those gougers buying up the ammo and
had posted that fact on several sites, but folks just
couldn't believe that would be true and i often got
flamed over it. oh well. . . .


I was taken to task several times here for mentioning that, and was assured that these fine gentlemen were just trying to make and nice, honest living. miles


Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I got caught with my pants down when the shortage/hoarding started so I have a lifetime supply now and I'm still buying a brick here and there.

Same here, brother. They'll never trap me again.

I just got a case of Norma TAC this week from Cabellas. Very good ammo that is very affordable. It was 399 plus tax with free shipping. Probably the best bang for the buck going on right now.

Ten cents a round is what the better ammo cost before the shortage, or nearly so. And that's where the cci mini mags are now. The above mentioned armscor stuff is about equal in quality and about 8 cents per round.

I picked up a brick equivalent of armscor at farm king last week.

And I still prefer the cci but if armscor was all I could get I wouldn't sweat it for a minute...

Still in relatively short supply around here - my guess is lots of people catching up after the shortage. Some powders and primers in the same boat.

R.E.M. t-bolts always been junk and GB too IME.

When I shot a lot of bricks in the 80's thru a MKII I used mostly WW Super X copper solids. $1 per 50. Don't seem to ever recall a misfire or bad performance. What's happened to Super-X?

Original WW PP's have been very good. Though Not plated.
