Why is 22 mag ammo so expensive?
I wanted to buy some 22 mag ammo today but all the gun shop had was a box of V Max that was $18.99. I'll check out some other places on my day off. I remember seeing regular CCI ammo and various other brands before.

$14.99 is the cheapest I've seen it for lately & that's not V Max ...

Because after Sandy H00k (was that 2013?), ammo prices went through the roof and have only marginally "come back down."
And anything other than "common" stuff will always be higher.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Dealer cost has not gone in proportion to dealer pricing. Supply and demand

Re: Why is 22 mag ammo so expensive?
I doubt .22 magnum ammo will ever be much less than 30 cents per round again. Stuff always was expensive, back when a brick of Remington Thunderbolt .22 LR was selling for $10, 50 rounds of Win Mag was $7.99. Yhe lowest price I've seen in 2016 was $14.99 for 50 rounds of CCI Maxi-Mag. The self defense stuff is $19.99 to $25.99 for 50 rounds. Worse than the price is the very spotty availability of .22 Mag ammo in most areas.

Re: Why is 22 mag ammo so expensive?
I love my .22 mag Marlins so I feel your pain. I currently have ~800 rounds of .22 mag on hand and I just sold ~400 rounds within the last 2 months. The cheapest I've seen is 14.99 for 50.
