Just found this post over at bladeforums, the guy was posting from BC.
I was in my local funshop yesterday picking up my new .22(yay!), and the owner informed me that there's going to be a 17% price hike on .22 ammo come the new year. They were filling out their orders for next year, and the price of .22 had risen by 17%, though everything else was pretty much the same. He said they stocked up on as much of it as they could at the current prices, but once current stock runs out, the new stuff will be more expensive. The hike comes from ATK, the company that owns Federal. I'm not sure if it applies to all rimfire ammo, or just .22cal stuff, but if you're looking to pick up some of it, you might want to do it now while prices still aren't too bad.
Who knows if it's fact but it's always a good idea to stock up, may as well get it now.
