Is this the future of 22lr?

Your not whining hard enough
Model 16 auto loader Remington ammo : Vintage Ammo at GunBroker.com
if you refuse to link to auction you might never see $1200 a brick 22 ammo.

 

[chef larry]

Not sure if there is a person dumb enough to purchase the $1200.00 brick of .22.

Well, now hold on a minute. There are some antique collectors that would pay ridiculous prices for old pieces in VG condition. OP you're representing something in a different context than it is being presented by the seller.

 

[Mgderf]

Yep, I've seen empty 50 round boxes of that "Clean Bore" ammo SELL for $35 & $40, for an EMPTY box!

 

[M67]

I'm sure it's more reliable that current production Remington 22

 

[scootn103]

There are collectors who would pay big $$$ for that , but I'm not sure the asking price . Two or three guys run ads constantly around where I am for anything antique firearms related or anything outdoors . Fishing , hunting etc ...

 

[M67]

I kind of collect old ammo boxes, but usually they're just given to me. Nothing super old but I just think it's cool how boxes have evolved over the years. I've added several to this since the pic was taken, box or two of Super Vel

I am also pretty sure 22 Remington Autoloading is not the same as .22 LR. Its physically different in size.

And here I thought $40 a brick was a little salty.

I was watching a gun auction last week. 500 rd box of 22lr went for just over $60. 550 box went for $91.

I've seen bulk packs at normal prices twice in the past week. Doesn't mean it's coming back around, but there are people other than Wal-Mart selling it at MSRP or lower. (Wal-Mart was actually one of them ). Guess you just have to luck in to it because I search regularly. Some shops hide it behind the counter for folks who purchase .22's.

Hold on to hope my friends!

Maybe someday I'll find some.

I said that for more than 5 months and finally got annoyed. If you do a little research you will find the .22LR procurement game has changed. I have come to realize the Rimfire flippers is now a cottage industry and those guys saying "quit paying $0.15/round and the shortage will end" are right. This week, a buddy and I purchased more than 1800 rounds of CCI & Federal for $0.08/round delivered to the door.

Don't pay gouged prices. I've battled the flippers for a year. I just finally got one up on them this week.

I know there are a lot of guys running low. I was one of them. Stick to your guns and leave these guys stuck with a bunch of .22LR. I'm lucky enough to work a job that allows me to check daily. I can rarely beat the flippers seemingly waiting at the door for the .22. Today was a win for the good guys!

Glad to hear you was able to get your hands on sum.

What would be the going price for a full box of .30 Pedersen ammo in today's market?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I am also pretty sure 22 Remington Autoloading is not the same as .22 LR. Its physically different in size.

^^^This^^^ You can see that the cartridge has a "step" in it, not straight up and down like .22 LR.

Every Friday morning the flippers line up at Gander Mountain and get there 10 box minimum which includes ammo boxes of 22lr. If Gander would limit 3 boxes maybe the rest of us might have a chance (I cannot take off work to wait in line outside of Gander for an hour before they open).

Only way to stop it is to stop buying it. Not saying you are, but somebody is.

I'm lucky in the fact that I can stop at WM daily (while at work). I've never been to Gander Mtn for ammo. I suppose I could, but waiting in line seems lame.
