federal 22 ammo 2.2 cents per round shipped after mail in rebate

I bought this from Cabela's w/free shipping this morning before Brownell's went out of stock (likely holding stock back - my guess is it will come back in stock before Black Friday). Here are the games I played to save a penny:
- Had Cabela's ($79.97) price match Brownell's price of $59.99 (which is the upcoming Black Friday sale price for Cabela's by the way)
- Purchased Cabela's gift cards from Raise.com - 11% discount, plus a raise sitewide sale of additional 7% = 18% off total
- Used a rewards credit card, additional 2%, to purchase Cabela's gift cards from Raise.com
- Used Active Junky referral site for an additional 2% off Cabela's ammo purchase
- Lastly the $20/box MIR rebate that will be submitted once product arrives
This gets the ammo to $0.017/round or approx $27/case range.

Palmetto (w/free shipping) and Brownell's (free shipping w/codes) have it at $60 (Brownell's currently OOS).
A lot of others have it at $60 + S/H.
Classic & Outdoor Limited have it at $55 + S/H.
Bud's (as mentioned earlier in thread) has it at $50 + S/H.

My guess is you'll see a lot of other retailers, brick & mortar and online, advertise it at $60 and hopefully lower over Thanksgiving weekend. I'm sure Bi-Mart will price it down again for Black Friday.
In my opinion, Federal did a good job with their Black Pack ammo offering this year.
Some good ammo deals to be had out there for sure.

I'm going to stop by BiMart later today and see if it's still $49.99. If it is, and we get the $20/box rebate, that makes this 0.0187 per round!

One could hope. Ya never know.

Was at BiMart today...back up to $79.99. I'm sure it'll come back down for Black Friday. Lower price with $20MIR and it'll be a great deal.

Ha ha that is really working it to get a good deal!

Love the price match idea. I agree with you on shipping cost for buds. It kind of eats up the rebate just for shipping. I kind of have an aversion for paying shipping costs unless I have to. It feels like a tax or something.

It is kind of a silly game to save some scratch; but in a weird way it's fun for me and not that big of a pain (for me)

.
Anything to get me shooting more is a win in my book.

Similar to Buster 1's question, can anyone report as to how this ammo is performing for them?
Thanks

I bought two cases and all three 10/22's chewed it up and was at least as accurate as I am. My 22/45 hates it but I think it's due to some weak (very used) magazine springs.

Thanks kmk2012. It sounds like a winner.

Academy now has it at $49.99/case but it's out of stock at the moment. Academy usually offers free shipping on orders over $25/$35 (fluctuates).
For those who are interested in buying this ammo and want to buy online, I'd watch it here and if it comes back in stock, jump on it.
There are other hoops you can jump through to save even more (GC's, referral sites, etc) if you're into that kind of thing, but even at $50/case minus MIR it's a great deal.

Dick's will match Academy's price and it appears they carry this. I no longer buy from this retailer. But that's me...

Cabela's will match Academy too, but it's got to be in stock at Academy for Cabela's to price match.

I would just watch the next few days. I imagine others will price at about $50 soon. If you can grab at this price, that brings the PPR to $0.01875 with the rebate. Wow!

FYI I was at dicks on Johnson creek road a couple days ago and they probably had 20-30 boxes of this on display.

They also had 9mm and right now academy sports has 9mm at 13 cents per round after rebate so I guess one could do a price match for that also.

Midway has the 1600 packs up for $59.99
I was charged shipping and used this code for $20 off $100 - CB2018

It may go a little lower than 2.4 CPR, and it will continue to sell out quickly.
Smoke em if you got em....

BiMart 2-day sale this Friday and Saturday... $49.97 for 1600 rounds of 22LR. Add the $20 rebate for $29.97 for 1600 rounds ($0.0187).

With this flyer in hand, any store should match the price. Plus, I believe BiMart is good about Rain Checks.

They've also lowered prices on the other Black Pack ammo. $84.66 for .223 and $84.97 for 9mm. With rebates, that works out to be $0.215 for .223 and $0.13 for 9mm.
