Ammo coming back for y'all too???

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Ammo coming back for y'all too???

Post by OJB4 »

Lately I've been able to find subsonic 22 lr ammo and bulk pack ammo fairly easily (considering the difficulty in recent months). I haven't been able to find any CCI standards but at least some Remington subsonic, ELEY, and a few RWS. Have you guys been able to find stuff recently or have I just been pulling 4 leaf clovers outta my ass and just in the right place at the right time?

It would be nice to know that things are coming back to halfway normal but wanted some feedback from others before I got too excited.

What's y'all experience lately?

thats the problem with 22lr. people are going to hoard that stuff until they feel comfortable they have enough.so i think it will take a lot longer for it to come back to normal stock levels.

What he said for everything. I'm not sure what counts as "coming back" ... $0.40/rnd for 22lr is rape I don't care how good it's supposed to be but $0.32/rnd for 9mm range fodder doesn't thrill me either.

Glad to see y'all are starting to find a few things floating around as well. I know everything is a LONG way from normal, but it's nice to be able to find some bulk pack here and there and some subs for the 22. The only thing I've been completely unable to get a hold of is subsonic 9mm......which sucks cause shooting my new Octane 9HD 2 is quite unimpressive with supersonics. Walmart has tons of supers in 9mm but NONE in the subsonic category. Guess my FNX-45 will be my new favorite gun until I can get some 9mm subs and run that new Glock.

I've got my stockpile of 22 ammo but it'll all be gone by the time hunting season kicks into gear so even though I've got 5500 rounds that's still only 10 weekends away from being back to 0.

That's very kind of you, but I think I'll pass....ya know, just in case we have an attack of some zombie nutria rats or something of the sort.

IF I ever find myself with too much 22 ammo I'll be sure to give you a call first and get you down here for that fishing trip and a bonus nutria shoot! Although you'd be welcome to come do that anyways.....we would just have to actually take our time and aim as to not waste too much ammo! LOL

Speaking of....I need to get those rifles dialed in with the cans on. 10+ hosts haven't even been shot yet. Time seems to be harder to come by than 22 lr subsonics

it's slowly coming back. i got a huge box of 50rnds of AE 22lr at Academy a few weeks ago w/ their 1 box limit per caliber, up to 3 boxes a day limit. they didn't have any bulk packs. but i did also pick up a 100rnd box of Winchester 45acp.

A friend of mine found some 22 ammo at academy too.......50 round boxes are just a frickin tease.....but at least they're there on a regular basis from what I've heard. I just refuse to go into town to get a 50 round box.....too much trouble to get there from where I live.....makes a $4 box of bullets cost closer to 10 after I factor in gas

I was just able to pick up another 1,000 rounds of supersonic 22 lr from walmart. Winchester M-22 in a large black box. Two friends also got a hold of the same thing over the past weekend and yesterday. 22 has actually been coming in 3 times a week from what the walmart cashier said.....assuming that he knows what 22 lr ammo actually is and isn't confusing it with all other calibers arriving.

Hope y'all are as lucky as I have been lately.

Thats the first online store I've heard of having anything other than high priced Subs. It's good they had something for a change.

I just saw on Midway that they had some 500 count boxes of winchester 42 gr subsonic for $52.99 plus tax, shipping, etc. If anybody needs to pick any up.

It was a couple hundred dollar order that was coming my way for $5 shipping so, in a way it includes shipping since adding the ammo didn't increase the shipping.

They have some deal going on right now where they ship everything for $5, but you're limited to one box of 500 at a time so if you only order the ammo it hikes it up to 8.6 cents a round ... still under 10 so not too bad a deal.

ETA: 11.6 cents a round for the 42gr just mentioned.

They took me for a ride on shipping then....I bought a box of 500 of the winchester I mentioned above and some loctite anti-sieze and shipping was about 16 bucks or so. Oh well.

I may have entered some shipping promo code ... I usually search for codes when I order. The retail me not site seems to always have the best and most up to date codes.
