Ammo Prices Going Down? Federal .22 at Walmart, 6.5 cents/rd
A Yuma Walmart had 20 thousand rounds of .22 LR ammunition at 6.5 cents per round on the shelves. Is the ammunition bubble leaking?

Most of my favorite firearms are .22 LR, and despite all I hear I have never had any problem finding ammo. The last time I bought some- about a month ago- I paid around 7.5 cents per. The stores may gauge a bit- like charging double in one case- so now I just go to ammoseek on line ( I don't know if links are allowed here,). Multiple sources, multiple brands and types, plenty available, fast shipping.I'm buying 22 LR ammo where I can find it cheapest.Which is Wal mart at the moment. Is hard to beat there prices on the Federal 325 packs. I hadn't seen any Federal 550 packs since this round of BS started. I don't see many deals online anymore for 22's . So so deals on 7.62x 39 and steel case 223.9mm seems to be slowly dropping. Just wish Walmart still sold 9mm and 223 , 7.62x39
I also am a fan of the .22lr, but i have not seen any ammo at 7.5 cents period. I have been to Walmart, Academy and both CCI & Federal sites and the very best is $4.50 per box or 09. cents a rd.Most of my favorite firearms are .22 LR, and despite all I hear I have never had any problem finding ammo.

Agreed...For me Wal-Mart has the best deal if you are careful in what you buy!
Federal Auto Match has been the bargain.
That's why I go to the site mentioned rather than brand sites. They are in competition on Ammoseek ( this just happens to be the site I know. I'm sure there are other competitive sites) where I paid 3.75 for 50 round boxes of CCI Blazers. The worst beating I took was at a brick and mortar. 9.50 for a 100 rounds of Browning sub-sonics.I also am a fan of the .22lr, but i have not seen any ammo at 7.5 cents period.

LOL, very true!.22 ammo supplies seems to have returned to both local (Central N.C.) and online sources. Prices have come down a good bit but aren't near pre-pandemic levels.
The problem I have with buying ammo at Walmart is that in order to do so, you have to go to Walmart
