Best place to buy .22LR?

Akilldema · 08-30-2010, 10:18 PM

I used to be able to buy Federal bulk 550 boxes for around 15$ each at Wal-Mart, but they don't stock them anymore. Now they have some 325 boxes at about the same price. Where can I get some decent (preferably federal) .22lr at 500 for 15 or less?

Ammo is being taxed and taxed some more. I'd be surprised if you found a 500 brick for that price.

Academy has a 525 brick for $19.49 (everyday.)

On some other boards guys are saying Wal-Mart still carries it at that price, mine just doesn't have it in stock. Hoping I can find an online vendor that's close.

Walmarts around here have really cut down on the guns/ammo. That happened about 5 or more years ago. I remember when I was young they would have at least 4 turn cases full of guns. Now it maybe 3 or 4 shotguns, 2 rifles, 2 .22L's.

Guns are the devil.

I hate how walmarts website doesnt show any auto stuff or only a little gun stuff. No ammo on their website. Gonna have to go store to store.

Same here, they used to have a large case chock full. Now the case that holds it is about 3x3.

Dammit. I may just want to buy some Totino's pizza's and a .308 rifle. I don't want to make two stops for that.

Widener's lists Federal AE22 (American Eagle) for $18 per 500

Most of the stuff I buy is at $22-28/500 now.

You might try checking the ammo section on Rimfirecentral for some ideas of where to look.
Also, some people find good deals on Gunbroker.

A couple of months ago I bought some Remington .22lr hollow points for $15 for 500 at Gander Mountain.

Can't use Remington, they won't feed.

Bot action? Lever action? The brand shouldn't make a difference.
