22 Ammo Spotted
« on: April 28, 2014, 08:29:11 AM »
Hello, I just walked out of Walmart 168th and Maple in Omaha with 3 Winchester 22lr HP 333 bulk boxes.
As of 08:00 there are 12-15 left, the guy told me they will be gone by noon.
Get there if in the area.

The Walmart near my place had 4 cases show up yesterday. All the friggin hoarders had it snapped up in 45 minutes.
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

I don't hoard 22, I actually shoot it.

a couple weeks ago someone posted an article about the 22 ammo issue, how much is manufactured per week etc, it was an amazing number, but its still all getting bought up the second it hits the stores. ( i see if i can find that article)

There have to be guys with millions of rounds of 22 just sitting in their house collecting dust

...
There are about 80-100 million American gun owners.   Millions of them are new, thanks to the Obama administration.  A majority of them own a .22.  Rimfire ammunition is not practically reloadable (yes, there were a few kits sold in the 1980?s).     Most people did not buy 5,000 rounds as a strategic reserve.  Most probably had less than a box on hand.    Suddenly, tens of Millions of people became aware and thought that a thousand rounds of .22 would be nice to have.  Maybe a couple of thousand.  Demand for .22 has historically run under 4 billion rounds a year in the United States, which is by far the largest market in the world.  My friend Alan Korwin reports that the U.S. manufacturing capacity is 4.2 billion rounds a year.

Suppose 50 million Americans decided that they would like to have 1,000 rounds of .22 on hand for a rainy day, rather like I did in the 1970s.  That is 50 billion cartridges, or about 12 times the annual manufacturing capacity for .22 ammunition in the United States.  My observations show me that virtually every .22 manufacturing plant around the world is running flat out making .22 ammunition for the American market, and it all gets snapped up as soon as it becomes available, at prices about three times the rate of even a year and a half ago.

^^^Oh I know. I am friends with one of the guys who works at walmart. ( Before you say it, I have known him since before he started working there)

He said it was basically the same 5 guys. That crap infuriates me to the point that I have sold nearly every single .22 i own.

Out of curiosity, do you know how much they were asking? I miss the days when I was buying 500 rnds for $16.

$27.99/500 rounds on their website, where it is available nearly every day.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

You'll need to check more than once a day...  ;)
