This .22LR shortage is starting to piss me off.

Why can't we get the old Canadian ammunition industry fired up. As I remember it was as good as any in the world. It seems a shame that we're held hostage and dependent to the Americans.

If I win the lottery I will start my own ammo factory

So the chance at getting a Canadian ammo factory, are about the same as...

CT In South Calgary has a pile of Aguila ammo in stock. High velocity, standard and sub sonics. I picked up two boxes of standard velocity to try. $6.49ea.

Saw some Win 222, 333 and Super X at Al Flaherty this afternoon. Remington YellowJacket was also on the shelves. Not sure about the price, was only there to buy a P.E.P.R Mount for my AR.

Bass Pro in Vaughan had at least 2 Remington Bucket'o'Bullets reasonably priced at $79.99 (Cabela's had them for $99.99). Also 525 packs of golden bullets for $34.95, some CCI minimag was observed for $9.95.

Didn't pick any, scored a CCI Minimag ammocan for $119.99 earlier this week

Took me a year to get this much. Never purchased more than 500 rounds at a time.

 

[c.t.smith]

Yup CT has Aguila ammo in stock near me too. Not gonna pay that much for .22.............yet
Also had those Winchester wood crates for 60$ per 500 rounds WOW

WeaponHot; nice pile of CCIs. How long will that last ? I go through about a case+ a year in the gopher patch.

 

[joe-nwt]

passed by CT in kirkland ...zero on shelf 2 boxes of ar223 for 12.95 each got them not to walk away with nothing

I just got back from annual gopher safari. Stopped at every gun store from high Level to the Crow's nest pass. Between empty shelves and over-priced stock, this is the first time ever I didn't buy a single round of rimfire along the way.

At the rate that I shoot it would probably last 2-3 years.
I want to stop buying but the darn prices keep rising.

 

[Johnyy]

..is this reAlly still going on!!@!!?

 

[inthehizzy]

Yes. Yes it is. That being said, the 325ct. Federal Automatch boxes I bought 18 months ago at my LGS for $19.95 now display $37.95 per box for the same kit. Dayum!

I knew that was coming
That's the latest purchase from Vaughan Mills Bass Pro. I just couldn't walk away.

Yeah I got one too in April.

Kind of a no brainer @ $120.

If you get a chance to buy 22lr at a good price ; buy it cheap , and stack it deep . The supply is getting less , and the rapidly increasing prices reflect this....

If people stop buying then the supply will be better and the prices will stop going up. Its pretty simple.

Currently the price for a brick is now $48 at my local shops. Its crazyness. I know I will not be buying any for that price.

 

[trucker]

Keep buying .22 LR at these inflated prices and individuals / retailers will continue selling them at these inflated prices.

It's just human nature to panic buy, stockpile and hoard. There's no stopping it. Only the disciplined can stop buying until the prices go down. And they're far and few between.
