I've never bought ammo online before, but have been thinking maybe I should if that's the only way to get certain types, and maybe the best prices on much of it. Since .22LR is still absent from store shelves around me in a city of 65,000 people, I thought I'd give the online world a try. Here's what I found. A 50 count box going for $10, even for generics stuff like American Eagle. Sure, there's one for $8, but I remember only a year or so ago I could get a brick of 500 for $10 before it (gasp!) doubled to $20. Now it's $100. http://www.bulkammo.com/rimfire/bulk-.22-lr-ammo?p=1
If this is how it is and how it's going to be for .22LR, I'd be willing to sell the 1,000 rounds I currently have for the price I bought my rifle for.
Does anyone see the situation getting better? Worse? Having a .22 used to mean cheap, fun shooting. But at these prices, the "cheap" part just isn't there anymore. Makes me wonder if people will see much of a reason to buy a .22 firearm anymore.
