What's the .22LR status around the country these days?

Yes. Very much so. Fiocchi and S&b are the only two worth a chit in 25acp. Every American made or other readily made 25acp has the penetrating power of a wet sponge. Fiocchi and S&B make the hotter rounds in those calibers as they were intended and designed. The U.S. market for Saturday night specials made of pot metal that couldn't handle the good stuff is why most 25acp, 32aut0 and 380 ammo are anemic.

 

A few weeks ago I bought 3, 325 round boxes from cabelas.com had them shipped to store. I quit after that but could of bought more. Only one box per transaction. Think they were $19. I got the same for $14 at academy a month ago. I

 

Not sure we see much bulk 500 packs of CCI? It would have to be blazer I guess?

Around here federal or Winchester or remington bulk use to always be cheapest.

At cabelas which is your best bet for 22 ammo they have it in stock online a few times a week in large boxes and it runs about $25-30/500 when they have it. Many 300+ boxes and there around $18/325

 

Picked up a box cci 22wmr in 40 HP too. Just trying to stay with heavier bullets. Part of my reason for 22mag over .17.

 

My cousin told me that CCI standard velo. in his part of Neb.- tough to find and when you did find it- $60 a brick.
The Cabelas in Kearney has it posted on the entrance- 100rnds/day per customer- when in stock. As of today when I drove through.
I'm going to Murdochs tomorrow.

 

I wish there was some heavier .17's... that's one of its down falls with wind.... heck even a 30 grain .17hmr would be very effective imo.

 

Was shooting the .22 rifle with suppressor after the wood cutting was done after Christmas. I see why bro has ordered more of them now in other calibers.
