Most you would Pay for 22lr ammo?

[340six]

What was the lost of the last 22Lr you bought?
Last 22 i got was WalMart Federal Bulk 550's at $16.97 and was mad it went up.
And CCI Mini Mags as a gift for my wife since they were Troy Landry and she collects stuff from the show.
Some Surplus Rem 5000ct cases from the CMP for $90 as i like to shoot Standard Vol. in the Colt Ace
No not bragging, just refuse to pay the crazy prices. Shooting 9mm cast is cheaper
What do ya'll think the new norm price will be? I think when self is full again the new normal small bulk 300 at $25.
And the new normal Bulk at $28-$30, and $10 a box of 100 CCI Mini?
So wonder if anyone here is paying the 50-75 bucks i see asked at times.

I wouldn't pay over 4¢ a round, (IF) I had to buy some right now.
Thankfully, I don't. Hopefully when I DO need some, this will all be sorted out.

Yup I hope it comes back down but when has a price on something like that ever gone that direction?

Who said 4 cents a round?
I wasn't sure when was the last time I saw it that cheap. So I had to go bust open a couple of sealed and desiccant treated cans to see. I really hate doing that. Low and behold, it wasn't that cheap even after the Clinton days dissipated, when ammo prices fell lower than almost a decade before.
In the mid Bush Jr days it was the lowest. I distinctly remember 9mm FMJ for less than $5/50. I also remember the days of 5.56 lake city for 17 cents per round, .44 mag was $15/50 for JHP, etc. I'm just reading price tags from stuff I have that I can remember when I bought it. I wish everybody here had stocked up during those times. Then I wouldn't feel so bad and we could all be happy and talk about happy things. Like all the happy little trees...

It cost more than $.04 a round from distributors...

I agree I used to buy Diesel at barely over and under a buck a gallon in 1994 when I got a Dodge 2500.
I know lead and brass cost more now then before the 22 scare / shortage.
But when I it normalizes... I wonder if it will end up being like a said above, @ Bulk at $28-$30, and $10 a box of 100 CCI Mini?

I just bought a Fed. 525 Bulk Box from Cabela's for $23 (0.04¢ per rnd)
and a couple days later a 500 Blazer Brick for $26 (0.05¢ per rnd),
that I got in the mail yesterday.



I won't go any higher than that,
unless it NEVER comes back down to it.

Same here. 0.04¢ per round is my top number too unless it never goes back down and that's only if I REALLY need it. Before all the insanity I was buying bricks for much less than that at WallyWurld.

I expect to see a resurgence in pistol caliber carbines if the price of .22 stays where it's at.

For what it is worth Ferrara Firearms price seems reasonable and looked like he was hardly making anything on it.
I have never got anything from him yet. I figured his price was kinda like a guy I knew who had a gas station. That he was selling cheap and hoping you would get other things while at his shop. Same as my dads friend " He would make like a few cents on gas and paid more than the companies sold in their own stores" but made his real $$ on services and other things.

 

[JadeRaven]

3 to 4 cents a round.

Unless it's match ammo or something, then maybe a little more.

I have been finding it ok prices through cabelas mainly. Picked up 2200 rounds with an ammo can for $99 shipped not long ago. Bought Blazer 500 packs for $23 last week.

 

[dantheman]

That Blazer was $24.99 plus tax and shipping .

My bad on price. Dont have to pay for shipping if in store pickup

 

[Hitman]

Still .5¢ per rnd.

Last I bought was about $15 for 500 bulk. I am not buying any more till the shelves are restocked.

Jan 2013 I bought two 525 bricks of Remington golden bullets for $25 a piece for a cousin of mine who had just picked up a Sig Mosquito long slide.
I have bought match ammo at .12-.20 a round, my gun likes .16 the best.
Bulk at .05 tops

I haven't needed to buy any bulk for myself in self in a few years.

I started buying .22 ammo in late January this year. The last time I bought .22 ammo was probably 2000 - 2002. I paid .02 to .03 per round then depending on brand and type.

I've paid as high as .06 for some Remington HP and as low as .04 for Federal and Winchester. I don't think .04 to .06 is bad considering the prices of other items I buy on a weekly basis like milk for $5 to $7 a gallon or quality dog food for $35 a bag.

Once it hits the shelves with a good supply, demand will drop and the prices will reflect to a point. Maybe 10 to 20% more than before the shortage hit.
