Title: What's the going rate for .22 ammo?
Post by: Band on March 29, 2014, 10:48:17 AM: I see Sportsman's Warehouse has a number of bricks of .22 (Thunderbolt) ammo for $24, which is about $.05/round. I've been hearing .22 ammo is becoming more available lately - is that the going rate these days? I'd like to find it for about $.03/round. What are my chances?

Yeah, maybe. I'm also waiting for gas to get down below $1.50/gallon. :chuckle:

The bricks were at the Federal Way store yesterday. I'm not a big Thunderbolt fan so I'll wait for the ones I like, the Remington hollow points.

They do have more regularly Remington Thunderbolts in the 50 round box for $1.60.

Forget about the gougers on Armslist!!! I think in time they will have to eat em!! :chuckle:

Post by: dontgetcrabs on March 29, 2014, 12:45:21 PM: I picked up 4 525 round bulk Remington at Bi-Mart in the Dalles for under $19 each. Went into Big Five in Sunnyside this morning to get some 22WMR ammo and they had Winchester 22LR, but didn't check the price.

When I was there yesterday around 4pm they had about 10-12 bricks stacked to the left of the register on the gun counter. They weren't priced so I asked a guy at the gun counter and he told me they were $24. No doubt they sold out pretty quickly.
