Bulk .22 shortage seems to be easing up a little

[WinM71]

The shortage of bulk .22 ammunition seems to be easing up a bit lately. In one local WallyWorld a couple weeks back they had a large stock of Federal and Remington 550s at $15.47. I was in a different store today and they were loaded up with Winchester 333s at $9.97. Nice to see their price hasn't changed. Nice to see stock on the shelves.

The price of Federal bulk 22s at our local Wally shop is $16.47...up $2 from a month or so ago. I've never seen the ammo shelves there so bare as the last two times I stopped by this month. I mean bare...a few boxes each in maybe 6 calibers! They have a new policy, too, of no more than six boxes of ammo sold to a customer per day! Glad to hear the ammo shortage seems to be easing up in NH. Maybe then we'll see more ammo on the shelves to the east in Maine soon, too. Hope so!

I've had the same experience that Victor has - the local Wally World's shelves are still extremely bare. They haven't had bulk .22 LR's in for at least 3 months. When they did have them though they hadn't raised their prices. Same 6 box limit too.

it's been easing up around here. Over a couple of trips I've cleaned out my WM of .22LR. I was doing well there on .40SW until I traded my pistol, but I'm going to trade my stock of that for a bunch of .30-30 (there's nothing like plinking with a Winchester 94). I just wish they had some .38Spl. There's a gunshop that has it in stock all the time, but they are about a 20 min drive and they've got a 2 box max. If they were closer I'd be in there every day.

I stopped in a gun shop in Troy, AL on Thursday to get some .22 ammo. I wanted some CB Caps or Aquila Colibris, but the store had not a round of .22 ammo of any short on hand.

Last Sunday I checked all 4 Wally's in my area. Not one round of .22 rimfire, only a few boxes of centerfire. I have not seen any rimfire at WallyWorld in over a year.

Local "mom & pop" have some, but they are scalping. Wont buy it from them if I have to quit shooting.

Stopped by my local Wally World this evening with the family and sure enough, they had three of those 333 packs on hard, $9.97 each. I hope this is a trend that continues!
