.22 ammo availability

[jstory]

Was at mg LGS the other day and he seems to think the .22 panic is coming to an end. He is getting it in on a regular basis, not massive amounts, but steady. At least this is how I was to understand it...

Wulff's in connersville had the 1400 round buckets of remington HP's in last week for 99. Which works out to .07 a round.

Starting to see it in Wal-Mart's again. Gander Mtn. sometimes has 500 round bricks if you know someone working there

I stopped in Cabela’s (St. Louis) and picked up a 1400 round bucket of Remington 36 grain plated hollow points for $70. A store employee pushed a cart with a couple boxes of the buckets and a couple boxes of Winchester 500 round bricks. I think the bricks were going for $30.

I was travelling thru Columbus, OH and stopped at Cabelas on a Wednesday and they had a whole shelf full of 22, bought my limit (one box of 500) stopped back on my way home 3 days later shelf empty! Just got to be lucky!

When does Walmart typically get ammo in?

When the sporting goods manager calls in sick and doesn't sell it to his friends...

From what I have heard.... Take that for what it is worth.... Seems like early in the morning. Stocking the shelves about 8 am. It depends on the stores. They probably get trucks in 24 7.

I could have gotten some but decided to pass on the Thunderbolt. Alas I only have one firearm that likes it.

Maybe I am the lucky one. Pretty much all my .22 firearms will shoot anything except for a couple .22 conversions that are tempermental. It is not much of an ammo problem as a conversion problem.

I had 2 in my cart, but didn't want to make the drive to pick them up.

You drove all the way there just to put them in a cart???

 

[Ericpwp]

Yes, I'm kicking myself now. Online shopping cart, in-store pick-up.

I was wondering the same thing. WTF? Why WOULDN'T he want to pick them up if he made the drive?

Nothing I have particularly "likes" Thunderbolt accuracy-wise, but they will function with it. When I was trying to buy it, price per round was really my only concern since I was hoping to burn it up in a Ruger AC 556 with a Ciener conversion.
