Jesus H! I couldn't find Velocitors last year but found some of the equivalent spec Winchesters Hyper's at $9.99, and nowhere special, it was LeBaron's!
$18.95 for anything Winchester, hell no.
At cabelas we were told that the us government had closed the lead mines. .22 ammo in the states is few and far between, didn't think we'd see an shortage here... If I could find out how to attach a pic I would show you the cabelas shelf! Bought another brick from wholesale as well as a cci mini Mag strip to try.
The stingers at Sportsman's Den are priced ok considering what I have seen elsewhere. The .22 WMR is more expensive than 9mm these days but again, feel free to compare elsewhere. The prices suck no matter where you go.
I haven't had too much trouble finding it in NS, most Canadian Tire stores have it, though it is pricey, between 5 and 7 bucks a box.
Having said that, The Gun Dealer is selling Wildcat for $40 a brick if your gun will use it. Lequille Country Store had CCI Blazer for the same price, and Hirsch Precision was selling SK STD Plus for $5.85 a box if you bought a case of 5000.

Zebra, they said the reasoning for the .22 ammo shortage is that it can't be reloading, or there isn't much of it around for reloading... Again this is what I was told by not only one by two gun counter reps at cabelas!
I know Canadian tire had some .22 ammo, but not much either and they have a nice sized firearm wall!

Our Canadian tire got a huge shipment this month , best guess 200K rounds ++ , 22 LR , all makes Rem , CCI , Ag , American , ect but ..... 5.99 to 10.99 a box of 50 rds .
Not a bad question at all.. I've always called a brick 500 rds, and these ones were 500s. I have seen anywhere from 300 to 500 referred to as a brick though. Federal and CCI both sold "bricks" of 22 ammo that were 300-400 rds.
We recently ordered some reloading supplies from Hummason in Ontario, their prices on Wildcat worked out to $40 for 500 taxes and shipping included. I wish I'd ordered more now, my Ruger doesn't mind it at all.
Brian Densmore also sells 22 ammo, he's in Middle Musquodoboit. Last time I was there, he had some Federal 710, I think it was.
Lequille had the Blazer, some Federal Pistol Match, and some American Eagle. I think the AE was $36 for 500, but can't be sure on that.
I should clarify that, $40 all in is the price our gun club is offering it's members if they want to order it. It was actually $32 plus 25% for taxes and shipping. Like I said, I wish I had ordered more since my gun seems to like the stuff. For a pistol it's accurate enough for me. Check their website, it's under Hummason Industries I think, Ancaster, maybe?
