22LR ammo

[Pababear]

Anyone seen .22LR in a brick, and what is the price range?  Where's it all gone?

[Timothy]

Nothing for weeks.

Kinda pissed I gave a brick away last year...

At this rate, a whole generation of kids will never know .22lr.

Lots at local gun shows @ $50+ a brick!

I miss the good old days when they had sales of 99 cents a box. I still have an old brick that cost $9.90. Now it seems it's worth its weight in gold so I keep it under lock and key in case someone breaks in. Some other ammo they can take and I won't miss it too much.

Hell, I used to scrounge soda bottles to return for the deposit.  Then I would cross the road to the Western Auto and put 50 cents on the counter for a box.  I was ten or eleven.  The folks at the store knew my Old Man.  They knew if'n I did something stupid, the Old Man would beat the livin' shit outta me.  Guess that's why they let me have 'em.  That was in the 1960"s though, so it may have been just the way it was.

We still did that up into the late 70's-early 80's in our little fart of a town. The price was slightly higher, but not much. There was one little country meat market and the guy kept a brick behind the counter and sold them by the box, without much mark-up. There were some kids he refused to sell to because he knew they were trouble....... I guess me and my friends were OK..... he always sold them to us, and sometimes we had to chip in and split a box amongst ourselves is the bottle finding was slim that week. The freight train that ran through regularly had one crew that saved their bottles for us. They would toss them into the tall grass, one at a time, every few yards as they went through.

I looked at my stock, and I have 4 bricks that I paid $5.00 a brick. (Federal and Wildcat).
I have around 12K on hand.
The match extra wolfe stuff I have I paid $5.00 for 50. Now its $20.00 for 50 rnds.
I also have grand children that shoot.  The last outing they went through 1200 rnds.
Of course it was not the wolfe ammo.
Recently Cabelas north of here had Win T-22 for $31.00 a brick, and flying off the shelf.
That stuff is junk for accuracy, but it does shoot.
Still, its lots of fun with the grandkids.

In the 80s I road my bike in front of the capitol building(sacramento) with a 22 straped to my back.  We use to goto west sac and shoot ground squirrels.  The flood control guys would trade tails for boxs.  Damn things were destroying the leaves.

Went in the new Gander Mountain store in a neighboring town......anything and everything you could want in 'bulk' ammo...EXCEPT .22lr.







**One thing I noticed really quick about the ammo they did have.....they like it a lot, based on prices.
(230gr FMJ .45 ACP 200 rounds for $130......  ......Bulk Federal FMJ @ $200 for 312 rounds.....where they come up with that number per can, I don't know)
