.22lr at Wal Mart !

[Biggfoot44]

I just saw .22lr on the shelf at a Wallys. I can't even remember the previous occasion of seeing any. Two varieties , Win Super X RN 100rd , and CCI Std Vel 50rd . And .17HMR also. I bought 2 of the Win, 8.37 ea.

WM in Alex, Va , 3 minutes from the bridge.

It's good to see 22 back on the shelves.

Since online prices have fallen and there's more in stock people aren't buying from Wally World and selling on GA and GB for 3 times the amount.
I know for a fact at couple Wally Worlds that the employees hide the 22, sell to a few that give kick backs.
They bring the entire fam in to purchase since you can only buy 3 at one time.

SLICK GUNS app is pretty awesome for deals on ammo too.

i'm guessing the availability will vary depending on the region.
Dicks usually has some, but a few blocks away, the wally world never has it in stock.

Seen it once in 5 years at my local WM

Does that mean it's time for the next ammo crisis to kick in? I shouldn't joke... I apologize.

I seen some Winchester 22LR in the Germantown WM last week but I didn't buy any. I did buy some of the 22MAG they had! I think that was Wednesday the 28th.

Palmetto State Armory was also selling CCI Standard Velocity at 8 cpr this morn (I haven't checked to see if still in stock) with a 5000 rd (10 brick) maximum order. While this was slightly more than I wanted to spend (esp as I am flush), it is nice to see the maximum limits raised to a point where most of us wouldn't normally purchase beyond anyhow.

I spotted some Winchester .22 at the Eldersburg WM about 6 weeks back, I left it for those less fortunate.

Seriously, Winchester has always been crap, IMO. I wouldn't take it if it was free.

Yeah, Winchester has given me issues in two different rifles, 10/22 and Mossberg 702. Lots of stove pipes, failures to extract, failures to load and duds. Been generally having some stove pipe issues with my 10/22, but all of that happened with my 702 as well and NO other ammo caused that in my 702. No other ammo has caused the other 3 in my 10/22 either and the stove pipe rate is 2x what it is for other ammo.

About 1 in 10 stove pipe. 1 in 20 fail to feed. 1 in 20 need a second attmpt to fire. 1 in 20 fail to extract and 1 in 50 are just duds. This was from a brick of the standar winchester 36gr cphp as well as two 100 round boxes of super X. So basically in a 10 round clip odds are good at least 2 rounds will have issues.

I'll take it over Thunderbolt any day!

Every flavor of .22lr will have large numbers of lovers and haters. And it is quite plausable that for the last several years, all mfg of rimfire have emphasised volume over QC , so that every brand will be varriable from box to box

That said, the only stuff I have ever seem come close to 10% malfunction was then 50yo, improperly stored, and embrittled that would split about 10% .

In a gun that baseline is reliable, have never seen close to 10% ammo related malfunction.

I would love to see Stingers at any WM. I have Stingers from years ago with $4.00 stickers still on them.
