22LR Ammo - time to stock up?

[Fishkiller]

Yikes, he is proud of his stock.

Yep, I'd say it's real now. Here's a screen shot from Gunbot. This is sorted by price per round. A week ago, it would have had the lowest starting around .04/round. And I didn't click through any of these, but there's a good chance that they're sold out, even though I set it for "in stock".

Where have you seen .17 HMR for 4 cents a round?

My bad. I don't know why it went to the .17 HMR. I clicked on the 22LR and it still had some at 0.04/rd.
Post was deleted. It was fake news.

Edit: however, I did go back and click on a few of the lower priced 22LR, and the prices ARE going up.

I could have used some extra .17 especially at that price.

I'm willing to make a deal deal.

Just checked gunbot and it seems their In Stock flag isn't working right now because everything I clicked on was OOS.

Yeah, I think it often gets behind. I clicked on a couple and the price shown/at the link looked like (bulk and 50rd examples):
$237/$330
$2.49/2.89
Not horrendous increases, but notable. And it looked like they might still have some in stock for those.

That's actually a good deal compared to this guy. He wants $0.50 a round for .22 CCI.

Someone else already mentioned this in another thread, but I may have slightly overstocked after the last shortage. If you are in the SA area and NEED some 22LR, drop me a note and I will share. I shared a brick with a co-worker during the last shortage. His son had just gotten a new 10/22 and was itching to shoot it (just as the rest of us would be). The co-worker returned the favor with some AR-15 parts. Which I later donated to the "AFAR Build".

So it all worked out great.

I hope we never see the day that .22 CCI sells for .50/round. During the last "shortage" I only had one gun that used it, now I have several. Every time I shoot, I try to replace more than I used. I haven't acquired a good supply of 45-70 or 44 mag yet however.

The same people that weren't prepared the last time are the same ones not prepared this time. Guns and ammo have been bargain priced lately and it has been a good time to stock up. But, people got complacent and put it off. Now, they're scrambling to get ammo and guns because they didn't prepare.

Not necessarily true.

In '12 I didn't have the cash to stock up real heavy but had plenty to weather the storm. I didn't see it coming though.

This time is different and I will never not see it coming again.

Honestly besides 22lr most of it is componants though. Plenty loaded and piles more waiting.

Even with 22lr, the good stuff is always pricy (but usually worth it)...

 

[pronstar]

Did you mean "I just ORDERED a few thousand rounds"? Because if they haven't shipped yet, it may not happen. If your orders get cancelled, then I would say it's real. Seems like that's how it went the last shortage wave (which lasted WAY too long).

Ordered last night.
Card was charged.

Got this in my email, but won’t count my chickens until it arrives.

Been buying it for a while now. With this latest purchase I think I’ve got like 12k rounds of 22LR once this shows up.

So I guess I’m a hoarder now LOL

Let's face facts: this issue should have already been addressed - .22 is dirt cheap and doesn't take up much room. There has been plenty of time to make it right after lessons learned from our past experiences.

Some people never learn and they are the ones who, if they panic buy now, likely will have to overpay for it.

Wants and gets are two entirely different things.

What a dick is that guy.

 

[jordanmills]

"Time to stock up" threads are funny to me.

It's always time to stock up until everyone is stocking up and prices go up/ availability goes down. Then it's time to hope you bought enough already.

If 22lr dries up I am selling and retiring.

The time to stock up is before people ask if it's time to stock up.
