May have just been sunk. Son reports 22 ammo has returned to at least a couple of big retailers in the Midwest. Cases and cases of numerous varieties and some even "on clearance".

    I paid about .05-06 a round for the .22 ammo I hoarded.

    If it goes to .03 I will probably buy more, never bought it to profit I bought it to prevent not being able to get it.

    I succeeded in that [:D]
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Several dealers told me 22 rifle sales were down due to the ammo shortage. I am beginning to notice 22 ammo shortages, at least in my area, are no more. In fact quite the opposite with falling prices.

    Elections have consequences.

    I still have 30 or so little milk cartons of 550rd's I bought when o'bummer was elected the first time,,they all still have the $8.95 price sticker on them. I have gave away about 20 boxes to the local boy scouts over the past few years when they could not find any and shot about another 10 boxes over the last 8 years so I still have enough to last a little while

    i just checked several items at PSA. I thought I had gone to the Numrich site by mistake -- almost everything I wanted to look at was "out of stock."[:D][}:)][:(]

    We had a LOT of .22 ammo.....until my son was old enough to take his rifle outside and shoot by himself. Then it went pretty fast. I think its funny how careful he is with "his" ammo....now that he is buying it himself!

    Found some at Wal-mart the other day. Couldn't believe it. That was the first time out of 12 visits.

    It's a commodity people want. Simply don't understand why it isn't in the stores more. If it is so expensive to make, simply charge more for it.

    had 10K rounds stashed before the shortage and only bought good deals since but I too am seeing falling prices.

    "We had a LOT of .22 ammo.....until my son was old enough to take his rifle outside and shoot by himself. Then it went pretty fast. I think its funny how careful he is with "his" ammo....now that he is buying it himself!"

    When my oldest Son was a teenager, I had a FFL and 22 ammo was around $100/case. He kept the shelf depleted as much as his spare time would allow(I think he shot more 22 ammo than I sold). Now, he has a Son and Daughter working on his supply @$400/case but he has to grin and bear it when I dig him a little.
