As promised, I have been tracking 22LR pricing and would post once I thought we were approaching bottom of current cycle.
This was last year when we HOPED for 22LR prices to fall below $30/500 shipped down from over $50/500 - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...oint-are-you-priced-out-of-the-market.907328/
Then we broke below $25/500 shipped in June - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...-shipped-pricing.902560/page-12#post-12647254
And now, we are below $23/500 shipped - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...-shipped-pricing.902560/page-14#post-12695891
And no, I am not restocking yet.

Current cycle pushed price over $50/500 and has gradually fallen below $40/500 and holding steady slightly above $40/500 and I am monitoring to see if there is a general break below $40/500.I've been watching ammo prices slowly creep up over the past six or so months. Things seemed to come down and stay down for a bit, but are now creeping back up ever so slowly ... .22 L.R. - $.10 for bulk, $.15 for nicer standard velocity stuff for small game.
Since May of this year, 22LR pricing have been hovering around $26-$30/500 shipped - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...-shipped-pricing.902560/page-12#post-12629760I think some may think we are at the near bottom of current cycle and already restocking, which maybe tipping the supply/demand balance but if supply side continues to provide inventory (Which appears to be the case), prices should continue to fall

Well, we have certainly seen prices below $30/500 shipped and I am not sure if we have hit the bottom of current cycle yet.While I doubt prices will fall down to $20/500 (inflation, supply chain, etc.), I am hoping we may see more prices in the $30s/500 as true bottom of current cycle at which point I will be restocking (I am well stocked to last several more years).
