I had no clue...

Anymore, you can't necessarily expect to just walk into any old shop & pick up a brick or two of .22. If you're not too picky about price or brand and only need a box or two of 50 rds, you can find something with out too much trouble. That said, I've probably bought about 8 cartons of automatch from Fishermans for general plinking over the past few months. It pops up there or online for under $20 frequently enough that I wouldn't pay more (or give 'bag of dicks' any money).

If you want to build some inventory, the easiest thing is to buy online,...but you have to watch the shipping and calc that into your total per round cost. Most sites will let you add ammo to your cart and get shipping costs to your zip code before checking out. You can usually find some decent deals on gunbroker. Search engines like wikiarms, ammospy, gunbo & ammoseek can be helpful.

look around, availability and low prices are there.
Here is just one place to peruse.

...that finding a reasonable supply of good quality .22LR was so damned difficult.

It's been a while since I really burned up some of that ammo but with the acquisition of the M&P 15-22, that's changing.

Either the market is under serious pressure, or I'm not doing the right things to find it.

WTH happened???

dude it has been five years plus.

22's go a lot farther when each shot is carefully placed opposed to the spastic finger with a 30 round banana mag.

Yeh those days are gone. Guess then rocket prices are making better shots out of us.

Heres yesterday at lunch time @ Walmart and today. Yesterday the case was ripe with Winchester white box 555 cartons, M22 cartons and 50 round sliders of CCI sv. I got my limit of three sliders with plenty remaining. Today there's only three cartons of the Winchester white box. Those are probably already gone by the time you read this.
