Default Apparently, the .22LR Ammo Shortage...

Krause sure is a piece of work, eh?


Well, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He may want to frame
that picture to hang over his owl picture, his Parker boat gathering
picture, his red barn picture, etc., etc., and etc.

My favorite was the Hatteras sportfish that he allegedly owned while
he was living in a rundown foreclosed bungalow in Jacksonville. Those
old Hatts were nice boats in their day and I'm sure Harry got a lot of
enjoyment just dreaming about owning one.

So sorry, W'hine, but we never lived in a "rundown foreclosed bungalow"
in Florida. We did rent a house there in Jax for a short time until we
got our bearings and moved elsewhere, but the house wasn't run down and
it wasn't in foreclosure. The woman who owned the house supposedly sold
it about a year later, and we have no idea what might have happened to
it. Her maintenance guy when we lived there was a retired Navy naster
chief petty officer who was very good at his post-Naval career.

The one with the Carrera leather seats? Or maybe it was Cabretta golf
gloves he shot the 72 while wearing?

It's so hard to keep it straight.

I bought a few boxes of these last week for $24 a box, free shipping,
which works out to be .08 a round. These are pretty much the same as
CCI's round nose Mini Mags, which, if you shop around can also be found
at about the same price. This is about half the price they've been
selling for, when you could find them, six months ago. My heart doesn't
go out to the ammo hoarders who bought up pallets of CCI .22LR ammo in
the hope of becoming lifelong scalpers and being able to resell it at
two or three times these prices.





You don't have a heart, asshole.

Hell, I still have a partial brick that has a $13.95 price tag on the end.

I still think there is a lot of air under ammo prices and there is
another 30% or more it will drop before it starts creeping back up..



Maybe. In the months I've been shooting my Colt AR15, the price of
decent quality (new ammo, brass cases, fmj, et cetera) Federal and Wolf
Gold plinking ammo, 55 grain, has dropped from about 32 cents a round to
27 cents a round. The Russian crap TULA stuff is about 21 cents a round,
though a friend who bought some at Walmart paid 26 cents a round last
week. Blech. Walmart shoppers, beware.


The .357 MAG ammo I use is about 2 cents a round less expensive than a
year ago.

..22LR ammo prices for the "good stuff" have dropped significantly. You
can still pay close to 20 cents a round for CCI Mini Mags if you are
crazy, but the reputable mail order houses like Cabelas are selling them
for 7 to 8 cents a round, a penny or two more a round than I was paying
six years ago. You have to keep your eyes open because the good stuff
tends to sell out fast, but it's not impossible to get your hands on
good clean reliable .22LR copper-coated ammo these days, or good lead
round nose ammo, without having to drop down to the Remington Thunderdud
lines.

Nothing wrong with steel cased Tula. More people have good success with it than those who don't.

The coated steel TULA bullets are tough on barrels. Tested and proven.
And steel cases are tougher on rifle innards than brass cases.

Maybe, maybe not. Some people on the AR forums have digested 4000+ rounds of the stuff through a single arm with little or no significant wear.
