The Illusive 22LR/Short/Mag/WMR, and others

[mazda3gun]

In other news....

.40S&W has been getting easier and more plentiful it seems. Bulk 12ga is everywhere, and 30-06 usually isn't too hard to find(depending on grain and bullet type)

[emtrescue6]

Just glad I reload everything....except the rim fire stuff of course. It's kept me on the range uninterrupted during this whole mess....I am not holding my breath this mess will completely end anytime soon. We're only 1 idiot short of being back in a whole new shortage too sadly enough.

[mazda3gun]

I agree emt! I've not been short, per se, on anything other than 22. so it's not much of an issue. I really enjoy developing a mean flinch to the bite of my -06 LOL! Seriously though, I'd rather shoot my SR40 and shotguns all day long over shooting a 22, it's such a fun pistol to plink with!

[emtrescue6]

LOL...there's a reason I don't own an 06...hahahah I've got 1000 .40 cases prepped and ready to hit the Dillon...a few hours in the reloading room and we're set! I too prefer to run my bigger guns....my wife and daughter on the other hand can go through 300-800 rounds of 22 over a long weekend....I stocked up several years ago, so have been good on 22 and 17HMR (although it really hasn't been all that hard to find)...and I've been able to find a little 22 here and there to keep me topped off....

I was able to grab four 500ct bricks of CCI SV last night thanks to a link a guy posted on SnipersHide; price shipped to my door was $0.11/rd which is pretty much what the stuff costs locally (if its available).

I've had a 5000ct case of CCI Mini-Mags on backorder at Midway for about 6 months now, maybe I'll see it before the end of 2014.

If only I reloaded...

The 22 is here, just not the price. That junk's lost somewhere in time! LOL!

I've been watching Midway myself. They're 'supposed' to be getting CCI Mini Mag 'soon'. It's had this title for over a month now. Says that the date is overdue and coming soon, how soon is soon to them?! A month? A quarter? An Earth's lifetime?


Oh well, I'll just keep banging gongs with the 40 and breakin clays with the 350 :rolleyes:

Midway sent me a e-mail notification the other day for a 300 round can of 22LR for 20.00.

[bremereric]

I found lots of the 22lr today at my local Carter's Country. I bought 325 rounds of Federal automatch for 22 dollars. They had 30 bricks of 500 rounds of Remington yellow jackets for 52 dollars. They do limit you to one a day per person.
I also picked up some Winchester 17hmr ammo fo 15 dollars. No limit on the 17hmr.

$15 for 17HMR is depressing ... :(

[bremereric]

$15 for 17HMR is depressing ... :(Is it a bad price or is it depressing that you can't get it for that?

[mazda3gun]

Well, I saw on Midway that they had 2 different types of Aguila 'HV' ammo, LRN and Plated RN. $37-$40 per 500 rounds. It was 'In Stock' for the better part of the day, didn't check back after I got off work though. And today, it's all gone! :Cry:

[DrThunder88]

Brother, it was gone in 40 minutes a few days ago! I had a stock watch on it for a while, and I had gotten the email less than an hour before I checked it. By the time I clicked, it was gone.

I did get some yesterday though! :p

EDIT: Thought you were talking about the SuperExtra subsonic stuff, which I got. It is still available as of 4PM EDT.

[mazda3gun]

I don't have any use for subsonic lol, but thanks man!

Yeah, I see they do have the $40 500 round stuff still. For some reason, it wasn't showing up when I updated to "In Stock" only. It's there in the main list, just not the "In Stock" list...silly web engineers!

EDIT: Never mind, all that's left IS subsonic now...

Forget it, it's still too expensive after shipping. I'll just wait til the idiotic panic tones down a tad!

[n4ue]

I was quite surprised to see that the local Southern States store had received a bunch of ammo in all calibers in the last 2 weeks. No .22 though.
I asked the owner of one of the lgs about .22 and he said the SAME characters are still hoarding it for resale at flea markets, etc......

[emtrescue6]

I have a hard time believing that all the hoarders are still getting it all...I have e-mail alerts set up for Midway and Natcheze and rarely see them even get any to hoard....I dunno. I haven't seen any 22 on the local shelves in ages.... I had about 22k of 22 LR when this mess started and my wife and daughter shoot most of it...I am down a fair amount of that stockpile and have my wife shooting her 9mm and 40 now instead of her P22 and my daughter on an AR shooting 223 instead of her 22 rifle mostly to stretch out the supply....

[mazda3gun]

It's not on the shelves because it's being bought up before you can.

I'm surprised Southern States carries ammo, I've never looked there locally though. Worth a shot I guess. When the LGS's local get it in, it's high priced too.

The people behind the counter at WM here, tell me specifically, that the same bunch of people are there every time ammo comes in day after day. Some of the guys even spill the beans and tell employees they buy it just to resell...
Like I said, I'm gonna relax and only buy if/when it's available at a mostly fair price.

[DrThunder88]

For some reason I thought the $40/brick at Midway was pretty reasonable, but after comparing my old receipts and adjusting for inflation, that should only be about $31/brick. Nuts to those guys!

[mazda3gun]

It comes out to roughly $55 a brick after shipping and taxes. But it's subsonic, again, I don't have a use/need for it. I don't live in an area where the anti's are prevalent. :)
