.22-250 Ammo 'Deal' (NOT!)

[AB.boy]

I was picking up some items at a local CT today and took a look at the ammo cabinet just to see if there were any deals to be had. I really wasn't expecting one but figured I would look. I couldn't believe it. Win USA 40rd Value Packs of 22-250 for $50 each!! This used to be the 'cheap' stuff. Glad I stock piled a few boxes years ago when it was less than half that price.

I'm thinking someone screwed up on the pricing because a box of 20 WW is 21.99 at regular price. LOL...at that price it's kind of like getting

Bass pro had them for $38 last week and I thought that was high. LOL!

Saw the same thing at our Canadian tires in SE Sask.

Whats even funnier is how if this box was for sale in the united states and wasnt under 15$ they would ##### about it being "expensive".. it sucks.

ammo prices in the u.s are more then 50% less than our stuff. i still cant believe what we pay, but we do it cause we have no choice- for now.

For a box of 20 rounds perhaps,but these are boxes of 40 rounds.Take a look at the online prices in the USA,they aren't under $15.

Alternatives? Reload.

I wait until somebody takes these "cheap" bulk packs to the range, leaves the brass behind, then I make my own 22-250 stuff for about $6 a box with their once fired brass!!

I think the local walmart was getting rid of these for 35$ last time I checked.....most 22-250's like these...although they are nothing spectacular accuracy compared to handloads.

Depends on your rifle. My 700VS loves this ammo, and produces really tight groups with it.

 

[bandit86]

so the bottom line is - no cheap ammo....I even offered to by 1000 or more rounds but no more than 10%discount. how hard is it to import from the states?

I haven't seen a box of 22-250 on any shelf in months. Last box I bought was a 20 count of Winchester Super X @ $21.99.....

 

[stubblejumper]

Midway USA has that exact load listed for $27.49.
