Thread: Rimfire Ammo Shortage...

Found a brick of 500 CCI 22LR for 39.95. I just couldnt fork over the cash

Wallmart today, some 9mm, and assorted rifle ammo. Mostly 30-30 or varmint calibers, 22-250, 243 ..... all the shotgun shells you want. Other than that nada.

My neighbor runs a gun shop, he has sold the 500 rd boxes for as much as 80$, I watched the guy buy it and he didnt even flinch. God save us! LOL

Talking about prices ...... My buddy is thinking of selling his 2003 dodge camper van and buying a small late model or even new car. He picked up a copy of consumer reports 2013, best and worst new and used cars. So I'm browsing through it , thinking I might get shed of my 2001 Ford E-250 cargo van. Been driving it with no problems since it was new.

Starting price for an entry level no frills automobile was $25,000. Want some frills, $30,000 and climbing to the 40s and up. Stuff like a Cadillac ....... luxury cars were getting into insane prices for an automobile. I mean when we are talking buying a car ..... a car for $70,000 ?

So I skipped to the used cars .......started at $10,000 ! Used to buy a car running for a hundred bucks back in the '60s. Maybe $500 in the '70s. I am keeping my van until either me or it gives up the ghost.

That will probably be the cheapest .22 LR we will hear of in a LOOOOOONG time... I understand your concern's at $3.95 per 50...

All of this goes to show you that the dollar is worth less and less every day...

walmart had plenty of 9mm & .40 winchesters , i wanna say the 9mm was $29.99 or $39.99 for 100

at a gander mt. and they had a bunch of .22shorts & magnums , didnt see any longs but i think they put them behind the counter and i didnt ask ...

I was at the gun show this past weekend and had to pay $65 for a brick of high vel. .22s, and that was one of the cheapest vendors there. Here in the nanny state (NY)
ammo is still hard to find. One guy wanted $80 bucks for a brick of CB caps!!!!
Hope it gets better soon.
