Check out luckygunner.com. No .22LR, however.

Forty cents a round for .22! You have got to be shatting me Pyle! I wish I'd bought a thousand rounds of the stuff rather than just five hundred. Hell, I gave 1500 rounds of older ammo to the local scout troop. It was about a $50 donation. Now its six hundred bucks? ??? Oi vey, sometimes we are our own worst enemy. I'm taking a hiatus from shooting anything other than airguns until this craziness stops. I just can't afford it.

I'm still using old .22 ammo that I paid 99 cents a box for. I think it's from the '80s but it still works.

Cabela's is opening a new store here in Ohio.  550 box of Winchester .22's listed in the flier at a reasonable price.  Too bad I'm working that day. >:(

I've only got about a 1000 left from 80's/90's.

I am so happy I stocked up along. For the past several years every time I went to the big gun store I bought a box of .22lr or a box of .17M2.  Sorry guys but I can easily outlast this shortage.

I'm still working on several thousand rounds of this stuff. $8.88 a box of 550 rounds at Wal-Mart back in 1995 or there abouts.

I gave 5 boxes of 22lr to an acquaintance the other day. I knew he bought his son an AR looking .22 for Christmas.
When I handed him the ammo I said, "I bet you're having a hard time finding these."
His eyes lit up like I handed him a bag of Krugerrands!

Like I said he's just an acquaintance, to my friends I give 223 ammo.  ;)

As a wise Boy Scout mentality "prepper", I bitched, complained when .223 went to 18-27 cents a rd. but kept stocking up in Col. Jeff Cooper fashion.

I'm glad I did, but it does effect my range time due to the replacement value hovering around .80-$1.00 a rd. for the same ammo.

Amen brother. At these prices you can blow through thirty bucks in as many seconds, and that's aimed fire. Damn! I thought boats and fast women were expensive hobbies, little did I know. :o

Have I mentioned I own 2 boats( lowest number in years lol)  both run on 100LL.   one tops out at ~70, the other 96.184 :)      don't do the fast women thing anymore.(way more money then anything else)  My other "hobbies"  are fine wood working, judo/wrestling and guns.   none of them are cheap and they keep going up.  :(       I also have a habbit of trying to save the world when it comes to people I care about.   that costs alot too, but is generally worth it.

Consider yourself in!   :)
That was faster than Facebook...or so I've been told since I don't do FB.
