    I was in Pennsylvania a couple of weeks ago visiting my buddy. We ended up going down to his local Walmart every morning. We were able to get 100 rds 22lr each, each day. When I left, he had 800 rounds. Absolutely weird.

    Cci is one of the few varieties that will cycle reliably through the Walther P22. I hate that since it's so expensive and the wife will run through 3-500 in an outing.

    I haven't been ammo shopping in a while. I stocked up back in November 2012. I paid $22 a brick for Blazers. My Marlin 22 rifle hates it. I thought maybe there was something wrong with my gun until I tried it in my brother in laws Browning Buckmark with the same results. I average 2 rounds out of 10 that either jam or fail to fire.

    But from what I'm reading here, I guess not so good ammo is better than no ammo.

    Thats why I was scared to buy the cheaper cci. But if I hadnt had a choice I would have grabbed it.

    Here's a site I'd forgotten about that lists multiple sites and prices. Sort by caliber, price per round, availability, etc.

    Yep I was checking it a few times a week about a month ago since things loosening up. (For 22)Looks like a good deal is $0.08/red with $0.10 being the price there in stock all the time at.

    I can shoot 38s that I load for that price.
