Hey Everyone!
I have a quick question. Can anyone tell me what the price of the Federal bulk packs of .22lr were going for at Walmart in 2008? I didn't start getting interested in firearms until the end of 2008. I remember the 100 rd packs of WWB going for $9.99/box at Walmart. Then demand drove the prices of everything through the roof. I was shopping online and noticed that the price of 9mm has come down so much that I can find it for 100rds/$14.99/box. It is not quite as low as when I first became interested in firearms but getting there.
Last summer I bought a Ruger 10/22. It is my first .22 and as a result I have no idea what prices for .22lr were before the demand went crazy. I have watched .22 prices drop little by little to $0.03/rd. I am wondering how much lower it has to go until it reaches 2008 levels. What were the Federal bulk packs going for back in 2008? Or, are there any other prices/brands you can remember? Any other brands you can remember I'll look up today's prices to get a comparison between the two. I would like to get an idea if the prices are going to drop even more or if they have bottomed out to 2008 levels.
I wouldn't mind picking up a .22 pistol someday so I am trying to figure out when would be a good time to stock up on .22lr to feed both firearms.
Thanks in advance!
Bobby
