My FFL called today -- says he has a few cases of Aguila .22 rimfire he picked up

 

Is .22 rimfire ammo still hard to find?

 

 I haven't bought in a few years -- I'm still fairly well stocked 

 

Anyway, says he has standard and high velocity stuff for $43 per 500 rnds

 

Is this a good price?

 

 Last time I bought in bulk it was $16.99 for 525 rnds of federal -- I guess those days are long gone...

 

 

 

 

 

Not a good price.  Not that hard to find.

Then just sit on it for now, I am. When hoopla quiets down we will see.

If I knew then what I know now, I would be rich!

I was paying 8.50+tax locally per pack of 100 CCI hollow pointers.
They haven't had the non-hollows on stock for 6+ months now, for some reason. Every time i stop in, that's all they have at heritage... I hate taking them to the range because it's another reason to get hassled by uneducated PO's. That's about the cheapest i've seen them anywhere, though. If i found a good deal i'd buy a few thousand right now..

Use slickguns.com and buy online, you could get excellent .22lr deals time to time there.

Unlike two years ago, you can find 22lr any day of the week now.  It may not be your favorite brand or 2012  prices, but you can find it. The best way to find the good(ish) deals is to get on mailing lists (Cabelas, SGAmmo, etc.) and check them in the a.m..  Last week I snagged four boxes of Troy Landry CCI Mini-Mags from Cabelas web site.  It took about eight hours for them to sell out.  Back in `14 they'd have been gone in minutes.

Dicks was selling 325 federal boxes for 20$ each. Bought 2 whole cases... lol
