Just purchased 1,500 rounds of Aguila .22lr HVSP 40gr for $25.99 per brick with free shipping from Sportsman Guide.  A friend gave (loaned) me a brick to try first.  Not for my bullseye or smallbore, but fun plinking, and good enough for squirrel and rabbit ... moose may take bigger.

I read something within the last 2 days about Aguila .22 ammo. One guy said he had a failure to fire in each of 2 50 round boxes he tried. Mostly I've heard good things about it and thought free shipping would make it worth it if you don't have to pay sales tax.

That equivalent to $8.67 for a brick.  That's unbelievable.....I like it.

You go and get your MBA old man?  $25.99 per brick (500 rounds).  Don't feel bad, because I made a typo:  I purchased five bricks!  2,500 rounds!

There you go pickin' on the old guys.  I misread you had bought 1500 rounds for $25.99.....

Don't lump me in there with those accounting types now....c'mon.   :o

That wasn't a super price then....oh well....but it ain't a bad price either.

What's confusing me is that the centerfire ammo is cheaper now than 6-7 years ago with the rebates.  I suspect all the personal stocking up caught up with the sellers and they need to drop the price to move.  I guess we haven't seen that in 22LR yet.  But it'll be coming soon I think.

It isn't great, but it is moving in the right direction.  This is close to 20% less than last spring. 

I'm looking back a decade now to when gas in our area had dropped to a buck a gallon.  Then, it shot up to $2.75 in a matter of a few weeks.  Sitting with an old friend at the local C store drinking coffee, eating donuts, and telling lies, he looked at us all and said the best thing about this increase was that when it dropped to $1.85 we would jump for joy ... He was right!

I still have some Federal "milk carton" 525 packs that I bought for $8.99, but I'm jumping for joy over my current purchase.  Maybe it is because my beloved CCI standard velocity is still over $45.00 a brick on the local shelves  :'(

I saw 500 round bricks of .22 lr at WallyWorld yesterday for $22.50.  So, yes, absolutely moving in the right direction.

Of course, that was plus tax, so around here that's a bit over $24 for the brick.

In the poll I voted that the price would settle to $20-$25 for a 500 round brick by January 2018 (or later), but it could easily drop to under $20 sometime next year. I still don't need any but would like to see sub-$20 prices anyway.
