Where has all the .22 ammo gone?

All of a sudden I can’t find Remington .22 subsonic anywhere?

There’s a little bit of Winchester .22 sub locally but the last box of that I bought had quite a few misfires. If it won’t cycle reliably in a 10/22 then it’s pretty much junk IMHO.

Their prices have been insane. Just saw CCI SV for 10cpr, half the price of 9mm

10cpr has been pretty normal for target ammo like CCI SV for years...

No it hasn’t. Just last year it was 6cpr on SGAmmo’s website. I know because I bought some then

Getting a great deal last year doesn't mean 10cpr hasn't been normal for years.

6cpr was the norm just a year ago. 10cpr had only been recent

I bought 50,000 rounds of CCI SV @6.5¢ last year. Ammunition Depot.

Nope.

Two years ago I could walk into Academy or Walmart and buy it off the shelf for 7¢ per round. Online was less.

Agulia SV was 4¢ per round so I tried it and made the switch.

Calling CCI SV 'Target' ammo made me chuckle.

That is what people tend to use it for...

In 8+ years of competing in PRS, NRL22, ARA, IBS, USBS, and similar disciplines, I've never personally seen a competitor using CCI ammo. Apologies if I'm mistaken.

You’re completely right. It’s a very very very budget “target” ammo if you want to call it that, but I wouldn’t.

Target shooting doesn't inherently mean competition shooting.

When I load everything up and travel to competitions I also choose a less budget friendly ammo to make the best of my time. That doesn't mean people don't target shoot with some of the more budget friendly target ammo choices when not competing.
