We are 3 1/3 years post Sandy Hook and I still can't buy 22LR at Walmart

[ubet]

I work at a small LGS in SW Virginia. We've had 6000+ rounds of .22 (CCI, Federal, and Remington) sitting on the counter for the past 3 weeks with only a few bites. Prices on what we have range from $.07/rd to $.11/rd. The folks who have bought only buy a few boxes at a time. We had another 6000 rounds come in from a distributor today that will sit in the back until what we currently have on the shelf sells out.

It's still difficult to consistently find 22 at the local Walmarts because folks are still camping out and buying it as soon as it's stocked (several of these guys operates a pawn shop in the area). I've also heard rumors that some of the walmart employees hold ammo back for themselves so that they can flip it at the gun shows, but I don't have any solid proof of that.

ETA, our cost on 22lr is high enough now that there's no way we could sell it for $.05/round.

Do you guys ship ammo?

LMGS has CCI $7-8 per hundred available in pallet quantities, and it's largely unsold. Yet our Wally world sell out as soon as it's stocked.

Just crazy, and I've largely stopped shooting .22 much out of annoyance more than anything.

Easy solution, don't shop at Walmart. Waaaay too many exposed butt cracks in that place for my taste anyway.

They buy it up and sit on it, never diverting much or any to practice/training. The profiteers, I can understand, but how many of those prepper/hoarders would catch a bullet 2-3 shots into the first fight? Stockpiling in insane numbers is stupid.

I hope they all do

And not the good kind.

Cabelas constantly has .22 ammo for sale at $.06-$.07/round online. Ship to store is free. Store availability is hit or miss in my area, but I do all my buying online for the most part. If you know how to work extra discounts and coupons you can get the price of .22 ammo down in the $.05/round range.

We don't. We are too small to make it worth while at this point.

Never seen 22LR except for the crazy Eley stuff at $25/50 at the LGS.

At those prices I would drive to TX buy the whole supply and come back to FL and sell it.

Hmm

Most of the big box stores around here only have Eley or Aguila for $.10 + while several LGS have a good selection of bricks and bulk packs for $.05+
