Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Walmart had Federal Champion .22 LR at $1.47 per 50 the week before Sandy Hook in 2012. $10 in the late 70's was a hell of a lot more money than $15 in 2012.
Meanwhile, Hoser's garage foundation has sunk 6" and even his great-grandkids won't need to buy ammo. lol

So it's all in the garage eh?Originally Posted by CS1983
LOL.
P.S. I'm surprised at the high shelf rating those small rivet shelving units have.

Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.

Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
Federal 550 packs are still around twenty bucks at Walmart. You just need to be there when they show up, which isn't easy. Gunshop prices are way up, which is probably why they still have some .22 available on the shelves.
This thread is neither a Trading Post ad nor a Buyer Intel alert.
It has been moved to the appropriate forum for this discussion.
To answer the OP's question: Yes, those days are memory. These days, you're lucky to find much ammunition to purchase for any price.

Saw .22LR in stock from brownells this morning, ended up a little over 5 cents per round shipped for Aguila Super Extra
It doesn't last long, but it's still available for decent prices.

Walmart on Razorback in the Springs has Federal, 4000 rds in stock, @ $.04/rd.
Longs Drug store in Colorado Springs used to have $9.99 bricks even in the late 1990's until they closed... and Win white label 223 for 3.99/20
I used to get 500 round cases of PMP South African 223 for $89 there also in the same time frame.
Luckily I stocked up on reloading supplies for a lifetime back then and that is still what it costs me to shoot.
I changed from 22lr to 22 Hornet when the rimfire got expensive. I can still shoot those for about .03 per round from days of old component pricing.
It feels like not that long ago but it has now been over 20 years

I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
Longs was great - you could buy alcohol, tobacco, and firearms all in one store.
One time I stopped by on the way out for a camping trip, and accidentally used the company credit card instead of my personal card. At that time the receipt was required even for clearing an "oops" charge, and my Aussie boss was just a bit taken aback
I am not smart enough to edit the "title"
