WalMart .22 ammo

[ronny]

I've noticed a strange thing. I have more .22 lr, short, quiet, CB short and long, shotshell, etc. than I will ever shoot. Yet, when I see a box of anything .22, it's like I'm made of ferrous metal and that box of ammo is a magnet. The only question seems to be "how much will I accumulate before I die?"

Enough to make your heirs either very happy or very wealthy?

Since I started this thread over a year ago, WalMart has gone from finally having .22lr in stock to completely doing away with a dedicated rimfire spot on the ammo shelf. Perfect example of Customer Service.

We still have shelf space at ours. Recently the .17HMR has been staying on the shelf, so that's an improvement.

Same here in Poteau. Nowhere to even put it if they got any.

OMG, I saw CCI SV at a local OKC Walmart the other day. I almost fainted.

I have noticed the overwhelming availability of .17HMR ammo, and because of it am considering getting a Savage A17....their .17 auto-loader. I've heard a lot of good things about it, and have head it shot suppressed. I think I could still shoot that suppressed in the same location that I shoot my .22 suppressed and be okay. The .17 cartridge would allow me to get into coyote hunting at further ranges. Does anyone on this thread have or use a .17?

I had a .17 HMR years ago and much preferred a .22 mag. I sold the .17 pretty quick.

I have a 17HMR. It will take a coyote, but I'd make sure you got a heavier constructed round. Some of them are just to fragile.

That was my issue. Back then they only had one.
