I remember very planly, buying four bricks (the limit) of Thunderbolts from Dicks as a black Friday special at $11 per. It wasn't that long ago, however it is understood that ten years seems like a lifetime to younger folks.
This needs to be brought up every time the liberal loons start talking that "never gonna take your guns" BS.
If we screw around and let the libs be back in charge again, the competition that brings us decent pricing will turn back to the flippers who bank on fear.
Never forget...
Meh. I'm good with the pretty easy to find deals of a .05/rd we have now. You keep squeezing the profit margin and we'll keep getting crappy ammo.
I'd like to see some of the better stuff, like CCI Mini-Mags and SV go back down a bit though.
I doubt that a new 55 inch tv has very much in common with the ones that used to be so expensive. On the other hand your round of 22 is about the same as it was 100 years ago.It doesn't have to be that way...look at what you can buy a 55" HD tv for in the Black Friday sales. Remember what they used to cost?

Bricks of .22 selling for under $11? I'll believe it when I see it.
Not going to hold my breath though.

I sure wouldn't complain, but like others have said, I'm okay with paying current Wal-Mart prices. I have a 10/22 that's a little over 3 years old...it MIGHT have 100 round through it. I have about 2300 rounds on hand at the moment. At this rate, I'll be passing on .22 LR to my children.
Local walmart in Portage has had remmy thunderbolts for quite some time now for $21.78 a brick. After tax comes in at .046 per round. I can live with that
Gentlemen,
I have seen Eley target and Eley club (at Dicks off all places) for less then $6 a box of 50 , SK standard velocity can be had regular for $50 a brick, that being said, if the high end stuff is more available, and at a cheaper price, I think this is a marker for the entire Rim fire market, in order to compete or keep there market share, prices will come down and quality will go up....

I think we would all agree, that, that is great price. Too bad it isn't the price for a truly 'decent' .22LR ammo... like Mini Mags, Wolf standard velocity or SK.
Yea, I know, Thunderbolts and Golden Bullets shoot fairly decent (minute of squirrel head)... but they are just too damn dirty for my good rimfire guns. Makes cleaning your rifle, even after just 100-150 rounds, too much like work. I'll stick with Eley Club or Fiocchi, even at the higher prices.
