.22lr is back
.22lr is back
Looks like .22lr is back around me. The Airforce Exchange gun counter got in a lot of Aguila Super Extra 40grn plated RN in the last few days, so I picked up 4 250rnd bricks this morning. They were rationing .22lr a few weeks ago, but no more. The counter girl said I could have as much as I could carry out. A little pricey @12cents/rnd, but I don't shoot a lot so this should last me a year or so, without dipping into my HP. Tried it out and it shoots fine in my .22's (Savage 6a, Sig 1911-22, & Buckmark), so I'm happy.
Other calibers/gauges were also in abundance, except for .22wmr, .41 mag, and a few other low volume others, due to manufacturers focus on the popular stuff - gotta make the money while you can I reckon.

Re: .22lr is back
22 prices have been flexing lately, I've found 500 for $40 and just a couple days later it is $79. Starting to horde when I see it on sale.
A couple weeks ago it was Remington but lately Aguila or Armscor. Forgive the spelling if its incorrect.

Re: .22lr is back
We’ve had .22 for a bit now. Wally World has had a constant supply of CCI Standard. Now Mini Mags are coming in. Three box limit per customer per day. But they also have bulk - so you could get near a thousand rounds in three boxes. The three box limit is good so people don’t buy them out. I get three boxes of CCI or toss in a box of Winchester every time I’m there. Wife buys three boxes for me on occasion. I had a pretty god stash anyway - so three boxes at a time is fine. Rural King has a ton of Norma which I have’t tried yet. Aguilahas remained available throughout at Orscheln’s. Every trip to the neighboring town and a few boxes return home with me. Getting ready for the next shortage I suppose.

Re: .22lr is back
Yea it has around here also, and I've been picking up a few boxes here and there.
Probably around 3k of late. 1500 Norma Tac-22 straight from them for about half what I could find it locally and that was with shipping.
Then the standard CCI's, Aquila 40 gr, and a few CCI Stinger.

Re: .22lr is back
Before things went sideways, I found a good amount of Aquila 40gr HV. Eley primed. Shoots pretty good in the 39A and 25N. Think I'm set for .22lr.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
