Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Is anyone seeing Winchester or Remington .22 ammo???

Gun show this past weekend had all the 22's you wanted, If you wanted to pay their price. Here too the stores sell out as fast as they come in. Limit to 3 cases per person, they buy run to the truck and change jackets and caps and buy 3 more. Several guys in a group every week.
I still have several bricks that say 9.99 on them and I thought that was high back then.

I'm from Cullman Co. Alabama. I have not seen anything from Winchester in two years. SOME Remington occasionally, Golden HVHP and Subsonic HP's. What I have seen in any amount is Aguila and CCI. CCI Subsonics, Minimags and Standard Velocity probably the largest of that brand spotted, with mixed types of Aguila that I am not familiar with. There was quite a bit of Federal #712 up around Huntsville last fall, but I haven't been back up that way in a while. Some places nearby are still trying to charge twenty bucks a box for Minimags. They can kiss my hairy ass. Damn thieves.

Stopped at a favorite LGS earlier this evening. It's about the only place around here that has had some 22LR during the "crisis".

Picked up a box of Fed. Auto Match. He also had a stash of assorted 17HMR, CCI shorts, some CCI Mini Mags, brick or two of CCI Quiet LR and some plastic hundred packs of Winchester 40gr.

Neither the Mini Mags nor the Win. stuff were HPs.

I'm still holding out for some Win Power Points. I can find all the target and plinking ammo I want, but nothing to hunt with.

Remington and Winchester are not to be found here. Today I managed to pick up some Aguila and CCI. It's the first 22LR I've seen in ages. Looking forward to taking the CZ 452 Varmint out Friday.

Guy at the local Field and Stream store(Dicks) told me that they had made a deal with Remington. Dicks helped pay for a production line and bought all it produced. He seemed a blowhard but they do seem to be the only ones that always has 22LR from Rem.

I ain't seen A WW Power point on the shelf in this area for going on 3 years. I quit looking..........

I traded a rifle for a rifle and got two bricks of 22 ammo in the trade, heck it was better then cash!!!!!

Why is the Winchester Power Points favored so well?

Accurate and kills very well.

Things are changing........
There was a "floor sweepin's" bulk pak under the tree.......
Mini-Mag HP, from the company store.......
THAT is a big change.........

Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks, MD.

You might consider The Paco Tool if you want to make the cheapest solid nose more effective.

I've had problems w getting onto Midway fast enough to score on notifications. I have, however, been able to pick up about 3,000 rounds when I do connect on that site in last six months.

Feel good enough I'm practicing w .22s again...

Stopped at Walmart this morning for dog food and mosied back to the ammo cabinet as I always do. They just got some Super X Winnie 22LR in this morning.

37gr "small game", Super Speed HPs, 1330fps so it says.

$7.97 per 100 round plastic slide pack. Could've had three packs, took one. This is something I've never tried, probably regret not getting the other two packs if'n it shoots well in any of my rifles?

That's about what CCI Mini Mags are going for at my favorite LGS, when he has any. All he's had lately were the non-HPs.

Stopped at my local WM. They had four boxes of CCI Mini Mags. I got three. $7.37/100. The clerk told me to buy a lottery ticket-my lucky day.

I'd buy more Mini Mag HPs if they were available. One of the most consistantly accurate rounds over a period of many years, in most of my rifles.

Other than the many thousands of rounds of the old white box bulk WW Dynapoints once available at Kmart, Mini Mags probably ranked second in number of rounds fired in the past 35 years?

The newer Dynapoints in the fancy black/red/gold boxes don't hold a candle to the old stuff.

Buying at $23.00 and selling at $35.00 is your right but that doesn't help the current situation. If you didn't want solids why buy them ? That is what hoarding and speculation are. The problem will end when "we" can pass up rimfire ammo we see in stock but that we don't really need. I have a feeling that it will take a long time before day comes. The fear factor is just too strong at the moment. The manufacturers are producing but people are buying rimfire ammo in quantities they wouldn't have dreamed of 5 years ago.

This past weekend one of our Walmarts had Rem, the first I've seen there in a couple of years.

Cabela's in CT had a self full of Rem thunderbolt .22LR the other day when I was up there. They also had a few 100 packs of CCI Minimag's.

I bet the ammo companies fear the end of this mess. It has been good for them and they supposedly have done things to increase production. When I can finally go into any store and by 22LR they will see sales fall to nothing. We all are hoarding to some extent. In the past I have been happy to have one unopened brick. Now I like to have several as I know I cant buy when I want. Many people are sitting on several lifetimes worth of 22 and as soon as they are available will never buy again.
