yup. i bought the last 28 packs of blazers this afternoon. lol
i put 400 rounds of them through my m&p22 afterwards and they ran flawlessly.
Im not to pickey about what the cost was a year ago. Its the $28 i paid for the federal 555 packs 3-4 months ago and now are $50-$60 now. Every 500+ brick has gone up double.
Canadian tire lloyd had a bunch of thunderbolt bricks for $41. 3 days later all gone.

This is so CT can put them in the fall flyer for 30% off...
Ain't that the truth!
My local Home Hardware has the Thunderbolts 500 pack on for $37 better than $49 for wild cats.
was thinking that these days $37 is not bad.

I believe the supply is easing up but the pricing isn't..
Price is based on perceived rarity and need.
After not seeing 22lr for months my local shop has lots of choices now, admittedly more expensive than I like, but now there stock.
Now, I don't feel the need to buy whenever I see any 22lr available in case there are none next week.
In addition I already have a reasonable stock pile now and will only buy when I see a good deal.
This will eventually drive the prices down or freeze them.

I am in the exact same boat; I built up my supply at a reasonable cost/rate and now I can wait until a decent offering comes along to add to it. I've let a lot go past, and when others start to do the same, we should hopefully see some benefit.
I was looking at the fishing equipment at CT today and I overheard a guy on his cell tell his friend that they had .22lr in stock, he sounded excited...some aguila at 7 or 8 bucks for a little box of 40 rounds, from the conversation, the friend sounded like he was on his way to buy all 20 or so boxes...WHAT A NUT! I kept my mouth shut but boy...that's around 20 cents a round...you don't stock up at prices like that you dodo haha.

I believe Aguila comes in 50's the Federals come in 40's
The solution for that is simply NOT buying too soon. Let it sit on the shelf for a while until the businesses and manufacturers take a hit from keeping their .22LR stock for longer than they expected in their forecasts... and you'll see these prices drop like a rock!
For businesses, keeping stock they can't move = daily costs. In essence, every item that sits on the shelf and doesn't sell is costing them $ daily (taking up space + generating no return on investment).
Patience is all this is about, really.
i got from you 2 bricks
So it was you , the guy beside me who bought 2 biiiiiiigggg boxes , yesterday from AlFlaherty's
Yup lots of mini mags showing up at dealer s.Price is all over the map.Was going to buy from wolverine until they wanted $70 shipping 2k rounds to BC. I ended up paying 11 cents a round local, not great but they did not limit how many I could buy.
I too was going to buy from Wolverine. Called for shipping price & buy the time I went back online to order they went up about $2 a box (100) so on 2 cases a 100 bucks. A hellof a jump for stuff that was already in stock. They said it was mispriced at first. (too cheep). Did not order anything from them. I have enough to last till this time next year. Would like to find a good deal on so Eley stuff though
