Is 22 magnum ammo still hard to find?

[Hotshot]

I have an opportunity to take a 22mag in trade. I haven't had one for a while but I've had several in past years. I like the cartridge but worry about having the rifle with no ammo.

Ammo is still super scarce.

Not in my area . The price is questionable . Larry

It's available but prices in Texas are ridiculous.

I agree about it being hard to find.

 

[Tommie]

I stand corrected. 22 magnum is available but not at prices normally associated with rimfire ammo.

I found three boxes about 6 months ago and that's the first I have been able to find locally since 2008.

Not in our area all it takes is deep pockets. Larry

Quite a bit of it locally... Both in CCI Hi-Vel and the "Choot'em" packs. They also have 17WSM, and various 22RF and 17HRM. This is @ Runnings

22 Mag and 17 rf is a huge rip off. Come to think so is 22 rf just not as bad.

4 years ago 96.00 a case last year 220.00 a case, so I bought 2. Not sure why I bought it but had to have it. And in need of some more if I could find it. It is my bug out round, 50 grain federals are impossible to find but deadly on bigger game with a well placed shot. You can reload 223 cheaper, but I love my 22 mag.

I developed a shortend 221 fireball that I can load and shoot much cheaper than 22 rimfire mag. I would not allow much on a 22 rimfire mag trade. The cheapest I have seen recently was $17.XX for 50

They were like $10.99 per 50 in November when I looked.

I sold my 22 magnum this year because I couldn't find the ammo that shoots well out of my gun. It was very picky. Since then I bought a 17 WSM and I can find ammo all over the place. I will never buy another 22 magnum. The 17 WSM is far superior ballistics wise, ammo is available even for a new rim fire, and the price of the ammo is almost the SAME as a 22 magnum.
