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

Well if people don't see $40@brick as unreasonable then for sure the prices are here to stay.

^^^ x 2

If it's 40 for 500 i won't but one. That's crazy..

At the Chilliwack gun show just this past weekend, $60.00 bricks was the norm. One of the vendors was even telling people to buy all the .22 ammo they can find because no more was going to be shipped to Canada! No, I didn't buy the BS he was selling and the bricks.

I give A-holes like that an Earful when I cross them @ Gun SHows or else where. Idiots! Too bad BP in Vaugn doesn't have the Gator CCi Mini Mags... I got lots of VIPER .. but still wouldnt mind some CCI Mini Mags.. Trade anyone! or for .22WMR

I bet a bunch of them are lurking around here and buying up everything they can when everyone else posts about where they find 22LR ammo available.

People do this to themselves in more ways that one.

If you blow 1000 rounds in a day shooting gophers by yourself you're a horrible shot.....

Just bought a couple bricks of Federal blue box for $30 each. I'm ok with the price. There was also Thunderbolts, minimags, assorted 22WMR but the prices were getting rediculous.

My local CDN tire has 525 rounds of Remington Golden Bullet packs for $44.99, and the Winchester 222 for $12.99
Contemplated the 222 pack... but ended up passing on this one.

Wow, talk about inflation!!!!! 555\s were going for $19.99 (if not $15.99) when I bought some a couple of years ago!

Lol, there are usually 2 of us out, but 10/22s do chew up the ammo and I am sure we have a few hits in there somewhere.

Perhaps changing to the bolt actions will conserve some ammo, we shall see.

I was in Wild West shooting center today and they have a whole shelf of Federal 500rnd bricks for $60 each.

$60 for 500 rounds?

 

[Sebell]

P&D in Edmonton seems to still be getting 22LR bricks of different types on a regular basis. Every week or two I pick up a brick or two of ammo, different types because I'm trying to see what my 22 doesn't mind eating. They have a bunch of thunderbolt in there when I was in last but I heard that its not the greatest stuff. Still kicking myself for missing the CCI mini mag ammo cans by a day.

 

[CUZZARD]

saw a literal WALL of 22LR at GreenDiamond in Bayers Lake last Saturday.

I agree. I told the kids the 10/22 is broken. Now they will have to use the bolt action.

Wow, and I thought $38/500 rnd brick of Federal at Wholesale Sports in Calgary was bad. $60 is gouging - they can keep them.

It sounds like distributors are offering what they can get to the highest bidders.

Well, I have no doubt suppliers and distributors are also marking up the prices too.

It's not just the retailers gouging.

Store I go to was selling the 222 round Winchester packs fo $10.36 in December.

Soon as the new year hit, $13.56.
