Years ago , I stocked up on Remington Thunderbolts. I was in Florida in a Kmart. They had them on sale for $8.80 a brick. This was a common price at the time , on sale. I bought 2 cases (20 bricks)
Took them and put them away in ammo cans. Shot some but still had a good stash.

Years later , during when the price skyrocketed and you would almost be lucky to find some and people were paying some crazy prices when did find some , I sold the bulk of it all to a gun dealer for $30 a brick. He probably flipped it for even more.

Currently waiting for it to bottom out some more, then I'll resupply. Still have the empty ammo cans.

I joke with people , I tell them I don't invest in gold or silver , I invest in lead and brass.
$8.80 to $30.00 is a very good return on an investment , better than most stocks.

I won't shoot the thunderbolts, they're nasty. But, I loves me some Rem goldens. You can find some great deals on them if your diligent.

I stocked up on several brands yrs ago but found a lot of them had loose bullets in the casing which I’ve found before. I’ve found 1 in 10 miss fire but I’m ok with that since I only shoot them out of my revolver to dispatch. I’m getting them for about $15 a brick here so I’ll probably stock up again before 2020.

Local supply store here has the same bullets for $24 this week (500), another place a few weeks ago had the Federal Black box 1600 rounds for $49.

I guess time to stock up. Thunderbolts will be fine in my revolvers & bolt action rifles.

The reason I bumped this thread to the top is so I could see the going price for .22 ammo. I am not an ammo geek so it can be tricky to know a good price when you see one.

The cheapest on Ammoseek is $12.99 / 500 The last I got I gave $139 / 5000 shipped.

$.03/round is about as good as you'll find.

I’m told all the .17 wsm is made by Winchester and my Bmag likes the 25gr. I have a minimum of three non fires
Per box of 25. I suspect the quality control of Winchester rimfire rounds is very poor. I think they are doing a very poor job of spinning the primer powder into the casings. Rimfire s are pretty simple rounds, finding problems should be easy.
I would never buy any Winchester ammo if there were options.

I'm thinking there is going to be some great deals during Black Friday sales

Yea I remember few years back when 22 was impossible to find. People stood in line every thurs here at our Walmart because they sold 10 bricks . I walked past and one old dude said " I got 10,000 rounds of 22 under my bed" . I ask him how long was he going to live? That was one reason it was hard to find. They have them sitting beside cash register now in 3 local stores.

Had a old box of Xperts that I was shooting years ago the price was under $10 for 500 so they were old stock. Had fits with my S/W .22 pistol then I put new bullets through it and it worked fine I figured the Experts had lost their power over the years sitting in the gun case.

Bricks use to be $9.99 at K-Mart. and Sears. I miss those days.

agreed, Thunderbolts are dirty shooters. CCI burn cleaner and are more accurate for me out of a 10/22 and the Walther UZI.

Thanks for the response, every one.

This has been my experience as well. No thunder bolts for me and my 10/22

How's the price for .22 ammo in your neck of the woods? Is it going up? My curiosity is killing me.

Midway still has thunderbolts boxes of 500 for $14.99.

I saw that yesterday!!!
