I tell them I want the cheaper one. That usually stumps 'em for a bit. I keep thinking one of these days they will actually give me a register slip - or not.
Picked up four more boxes of Federal at Wallyworld last night. I am close to two stores...one is being converted to a Super Walmart...so lots of construction for the new food section. They cleared out the ammo and sent in back to the warehouse till the sporting good area is moved...which one guy told me may be a "few weeks."
So I now have to go to the other store which has little ammo left. I hope to get some more money today and buy what they have of the remaining Federal .22 and the WWB in 9mm.
I hope to secure about 10,000 rounds of .22's...is this crazy? I figure stock up now as the price will probably go up a few bucks this summer.

.22
In July it was the same for me. But, yesterday in the Fairfax, VA Dick's they wanted $25/brick !!
.45
The Dick's UMC ammo was better then Walmart tho'. Walmart Remington UMC .45 was $81/250 yesterday, and Fairfax was $14.98 per 50 on Sale.
( ~$1.20 per 50 cheaper.)

Cabelas. Federal Premium .22 hollow point 525 rounds for 16 bucks.

Not anymore. It is either $1.47 or $1.77 per box of 50 depending on which walmart you go to.
Walmart is still the best place to buy bulk 22 ammo as far as I'm concerned. If you buy online, buy in case lots (5,000 rounds). Still cheaper at Walmart for the regular stuff.
Blazer ammo is not bad at about $20 per brick (500 rounds). Walmart doesn't sell it however.
Not around here...South Dakota has 2 Cabelas, and neither one can come remotely close to matching Walmart's price. In fact, Walmart had Federal bulk 550 packs for 11.47, but a bulk back of 500 Federals was over 16 bucks at cabelas. Around here, WEalmart beats Cabelas on ALL ammo (at least ammo Wally world carries, anyway)

I paid $12 for 550 rounds of federal at Walmart a year ago. Now they are $15 a brick at the same walmart.

I second the guy who said Cabelas.
The one in Hoffman Estates has Federal Premium .22 hollow point 525 round bulk packs for $14.99. I have bought 12 of them so far.

I've been from Albuquerque to Las Cruces, 5 Walmarts, 2 Sportsmans Warehouses, three gun shops.
Sorry to report only Walmarts have a selection of 22lr and the best prices on any of it. Hard to find much subsonic/standard velocity. The S.W. and gunshops have very little quanitity or variety, and higher prices.

My walmart has Federal bulk packs for about $13.48. Thier Winchester Expert bulk packs are &12.98. First time Ive seen them sell the Winchester for les than the Federal.
14.47 last night at Wal Mart...About that "handgun or rifle" thing...Y'all may already know this, but I asked one night why they asked that question and the cashier snagged a manager who was walking by and the mgr said that when you indicate "handgun" the security camera snaps your picture.
I've noticed at our Wal Mart that the men almost never ask, and the women almost always ask...I suspect that the men just punch the "rifle" key and forget it.

Walmarts in New Mexico are sold out since before Christmas.
The Federal bulk pack of 550rnd are $13.47, and the Federal 510 is $1.47 per 50 round box.
How come the price discrepancy, and availabilty across the country??
This Walmart will not let me special order 22's.

for a minute that almost sound like the old:
"I've been from Maine to Spain, from Austin to Boston. I've been to 3 carnivals, 2 circuses ..."
$1.47/50 and $13.47/525 is standard Walmart price around here. You can not special order 22lr ammo from walmart, they are alloted as much as they can from warehouse, it usually lasts less than a day on the shelf. I was told current dealer cost on the cases of bulk work out to $11 a box wholesale, so don't think you are going to find it cheaper elsewhere unless your a dealer.

"I have to go along with Walmart. Had good luck with the Federal, not so good with the Remington Golden."
I've gotta say wallyworld too, even though I'm inherently against their practices. Also agree %100 about the remington crap. BTW, what ever happened to the 1000, 1500, 2500 round "milk" cartons I used to buy? I tried some of that BlazerBrass .40S&W people keep talking about, that stuff is pure garbage. The only use I can find for it is maybe if you are trying to build up a supply of brass for reloading....It is not crimped and fails to burn completely, lots of black soot on spent casings, poor ejection....

CMP is the way to go. Might be a bit more expensive, but it goes bang when you pull the trigger and there are no problems with feeding. Accuracy is good enough. Before you order a ton of ammo make sure your firearm shoots it because some 22s are very picky on what they like. just my 2 cents
