.22 wmr ammo
« on: March 24, 2016, 04:55:18 PM »
Where the heck can we find some .22 wmr ammo ?
Have the cases all been used to make .17 hmr ammo?
I am down to my last 100 rounds. :-\

Try here. It's about 5 miles from me, and they're good to deal with. Click on the link and scroll down. They're currently showing 3 different types in stock. Armscor, CCI, and Sellier & Bellot.

I found some at WW a few weeks back.  Almost bought it by mistake...  They had 800-1000 rounds in the cabinet.

I've been able to buy plenty of .22 lr here lately too..

Ammoseek shows quite a bit available - but it's very expensive.

My guess is that .22 Mag is made on the same line as .22 LR and that they are reluctant to stop producing .22LR......

No matter where you buy it today, .22 WMR is going to be sky high expensive. (9 MM Ball will be substantially cheaper by comparison). I just think it's demand, nothing more. .17 HMR seems to be in good supply, at least around these parts. That's because the .17 HMR has only been around a short amount of time compared to the .22 WMR, which was introduced in 1959. So there are tons more .22 WMR rifles around.

It's pretty much been this way all along.   Any number of .22 and .17 rounds give much better ballistics at the same or better price per round.   And now today with the .17HMR there's even less reason for it to exist.

I just got this E-Mail from J&G Sales. They've got quite a bit of it. As always, it's pricey.
