order here down to 50 boxes. Federal 22 LR Value Pack 525 Rds (745)
out of curiosity... what was the price?
I get you on that. Some times the value is more than the monetary one you see. I've already given a brick to the local BSA. I only had 2 to begin with. I just got my first 22 for my kids this year and was lucky enough to grab 2 bricks the day after I bought it in Feb. I figure it will be back around in due time. Until then, some need it more. Cheers.it would have been just under $100 for 1050 rnds shipped. not great but from the faces on thouse scouts and 4H kids, I guess I lost my mind.

Too much!! Looks like they have or had 5250 packs @ $479.99
That is $47.99 for the 525 pack! $0.09 per round! Last box I bought was $19.
I'm sorry, but I'm not panicked enought to pay that for .22's. I'll shoot CF reloads. I can reload .45's for a penny less a round than those .22's.
It's a sad day when you can plink with a .45 cheaper than a .22lr.
Imagine a new shooter now who just did the same thing. Think this encourages them or makes them start thinking about selling their new gun because it isn't worth it to fight this hard for ammo. Now think if this sort of an experience makes them like gunowners or hate us?

My son got his first 22 from his grandfather this Christmas. Unfortunately Grandpa didn't think about getting him ammo too. He's been very patient, but told me recently that he's not excited about it anymore. I keep a watch on all the online stores, gunbot, this forum etc... but can't wait in line at the stores at 7am like others (damn work! LOL).
I know he'll absolutely fall in love with shooting once he gets the chance, but the whole situation really turns him off now. Guess it's a good lesson, but 11 year olds don't like waiting.

ammo prices got to get better one day. hope its soon.
had you said something BEFORE I gave all of my .22 LR away to the other needy kids...
(get your rotten eggs ready to throw and don't forget your rotten veggies!)
I still think if we could all just relax somewhat and stop running from here to there every time there's an ammo sighting, all of this would go away.
I also know that as herd animals, humans don't simmer down easily once they've been spooked.
The trick is to remember your a human rather than to act like the herd animal...
