Really? I`ll sell what I have for $45 per box of 500 shells...your choice between CCI Blazer and Federal Champion. Shipping is your cost.

That you bought for $20? What a rip!

 

[Jim Guns]

Who was the guy trying to explain $50 a box of 500 was normal?

 

[krchov]

I think the new normal

 

[Grock-co]

Just because you do not want to pay the going rate does not mean there is a shortage, just means you are cheap, you need to learn "if you play you need to pay" that's just live get over it

It's a gouge. I would pass on it.

For the price he's asking, you can get a case of Federal 711B Match 22LR from Hirsch Precision/Target Shooting Products Canada. They're reputable.

Beginning in 2011-2012 all you heard from the US outdoor forums , was the 22 lr shortage. It continues today. So in 2012 until mid 2013 I began purchasing 6-8 bricks per month. Remember these were only 18.00 to 20.00 per brick. There was always lot's on the shelf for others when I left

Didn't anyone else see this shortage coming?

Just bought 7000 rounds of federal 525 bricks for 25 bucks a brick. I was happy to be at tue right place at the right time when the stock arrived

Where from?!

 

[a1dookie]

Well if suppliers, manufacturers even the retailers create a demand, and the more fortunate deprive the less of course there will be a shortage but in the end unless you're in the armed forces, including the local crowd/civilian control when they ban civilian owner ship you'll have to turn them all in. And it's highly unlikely you'll get the marked up rate for them if anything at all.

peavey mart had a fresh supply of bucket o shells for $79.99. I bought one of the 24 they had.

 

[shotgun-bob]

duncan wal-mart and canadian tire have NO 22lr...none

 

[krchov]

most places in Saskatchewan have none. Saskatoon had five 50 round boxes at cabelas

Sounds about right for that place. I have to laugh at the prices they want as well.

Oh boy....and when will this happen again? So much fear of this and that going on.

 

[inthehizzy]

I tapped out at $60.00 a brick, but that for Match 22LR at least. Not gonna pay more than that.

 

[renegator]

Out and about in rural Manitoba this weekend and I found;
Remington 525 bulk @ $35
Winchester 333 bulk @ $20
Winchester 555 bulk @ $25
Yellow Jacket bricks of 500 @ $56
Seems to be a bit of stock around now.

The only thing I can't find is CCI Stinger, or any high/hyper velocity CCI product. But I have a bunch of VIPER, & it is Hyper Velocity. I noticed Wanstalls has it for $51.99 a brick also. {another place had it for $59.99 recently!} kinda Meh still on the prices.. & the cone shape can be finicky in SOME mags for semi-auto .22's.
