Do these idiots really think they can ban .22lr?

Stupidity at it's height!

Yeah, but does anyone really need 1000 rounds of .22s right now for that much? Really?

I usually have about 10k but the kids were hitting the supply hard so I'm about half of where I should be.
But I'll be danged if I'll spend that much on .22s!!

What? You mean $118 for a brick of .22s is expensive??

There were probably several of you that thought I was joking about trading 22lr for primers, the gun shop owner was selling small rifle primers for 45.00 a thousand and we swapped stright across brick for brick.

There must be more to a .22 than I've ever seen.

TedH · Post by **TedH** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 7:30 pm

Maybe there's a new rifle that comes with the ammo purchase?

That CCI mini-mag was $6.99 about 8 months ago. Up to $9.99 now, and that isn't gouged either. Guy is getting 140% return on investment. CCI blazer brick is $25 right now at the same shop when it's available. Is that mini-mag special? Twice the price of blazer even before that auction went nuts.

Part of me is willing to pay more for rimfire ammo because it can't be reloaded (easily).

But that auction has me thinking "Hello, sucker? This is P.T. Barnum calling..."

J Miller · Post by **J Miller** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 8:33 pm

$241.00 for a 1000 22LRs is sheer idiocy. No way in the world would I ever be slightly tempted to spend that much on so little ammo.

We do not know thier state of mind,

Hey! I think the seller is a bright individual. He is doing what is usually only allowed in the U.S. of A.............capitalizing.

There's no law that says anyone has to buy it at that price. America is great like no other as there is a seat for every azz.

Think freedom......freedom.......freedom.......

I paid $15.95 for a brick in September & thought it was high.

$120 a brick is not outrageous right now, hereabouts.

I'm tired of seeing current 'net posts about refusing to buy and urging socialism / price restrictions in the ammunition marketplace. If we endorse free markets, we must tolerate occasional, transitory price fluctuation .

Once they banned full-autos they proved they can pretty much ban anything they want.

Probably real. Recently I've seen the old 550 ct Federal bulk 22 bricks sell for over $125!!! These bricks sold for under $20 at Walmart as recently as just before the election. I remember not buying them then because they had been under $15 not too long before that. It's just plain crazy out there!!!!

I didn't say anything about the seller. If you can take advantage of the situation then go for it. I made almost $2000 from selling a Mini 14 and associated magazines. This allowed me to add several new guns to my collection.

My point is, this panic buying is out of control and paying these kind of prices for something as common as .22lr's and turning them into unobtainum for no real reason. The EBR run I can understand but .22s, come on!

Hey Pete, for real...think 'about it. Here we are, a bunch of levergunners, all claiming to be right wing conservatives, busting down on people selling their stuff at a huge profit. What's wrong with that? Its why America is the wealthiest nation in the world. (Yea, I don't want to hear about this country or that country---we still have it the best

)

Its the liberals who always want price controls and we ain't no liberals

Thing that sorta ticks me off is CCI CB Shorts went up to $9-10 per hundred. Guess it time to make up some pellet loads for the 22H and 223.

A friend in Liberal, Kansas told me that a local shop there is paying almost $30 for a box of 50 rounds, and that is the wholesale price. BTW, my friend is the shop owner's accountant. I don't have the answer, but I will try to find what I can afford and keep myself with enough for a range session with my family. I am a little late to start stocking up, but I might have to.
