Champ's is back up. Good selection of Eley, some SK left (no rifle or LRM). Had a selection of lapua but looks like they're out now

I saw that earlier today. It will take some time to get used to the new format, but good to see the site working again.

And at non-stupid prices too. Will have to bookmark them for future use.
You’ll likely never buy it for cheaper than it is today at GoodShootingInc.
From light looking around even now everyone else is $17-19 for the Long Range as opposed to the $14.30 here. Super Long Range is already sold out.

Blue Collar Reloading is also a few bucks more. Would say Good Shooting looks to be the better priced exception to the rest at the moment

Blue Collar Reloading has Lapua X-Act and SK LRM

I've been having hard time convincing myself to get Center-X due to it being at ~30-35cpr, is the X-act really that much better to go at 60cpr?
Like anything rimfire, its a fools question to ask if something shoots better. Every gun and lot is different.
So very true but so many people seem to forget that
Once you start getting into $20-30 box ammo for 22LRs, its no longer fun its "work"
Not if you are putting titles on the wall….,Once you start getting into $20-30 box ammo for 22LRs, its no longer fun its "work"
I name each order of ammo. I've gone through the Old Testament Twice and have started my second time on the New Testament. I find it easy to inventory and I know exactly what ammo I take to the range. I shot 15 rounds of "Joshua I-Box4" on this date. Makes it easier than trying to keep track of an otherwise generic box of ammo.
I did the same when I reloaded.
Depends really. Center-X, Midas+, and X-Act all start out as the same run. Post-production they run tests and then brand/market as they grade (good/better/best). With 22lr, each gun seems to like different ones, but if you're going for an all-around starter top shelf then yeah, Center-X should be just fine. Above that you're paying for incremental improvements. So if you already shoot better than you rifle and you're out for 1st place, then splurge. But IMO, if your "minute of angle" is more like "minute of pizza box" the higher grades won't mean much.
Is the avatar you? If so, what does your shirt mean?
I ordered 1000 rounds of SK Tan Box - Thanks for the heads up !
I ordered two bricks from Champions Choice yesterday for $97.00 a brick, their shipping is reasonable too.
Yes, that's my face. The under rocker was some early COVID thing, never figured out how to delete it so think it's stuck on my profile now (and/or not motivated enough to look it up at the moment.)
That's reasonable in today's nonsense world. I bought 10 or 12 boxes of it from the LGS about a month ago for $10/box, and it's two different lots.
Has anyone seen any Center-X in stock in USA? I have not seen any estimates of when it will come back in stock, Thank you in advance
Send your rifle to a Lapua test center. There's one in Arizona and one in Ohio. You will get the best lot for your rifle and you will get it way cheaper than anywhere else. The lot testing is free when you buy the ammo.
Yeah, but... that's not a nearterm solution for him. The waitlist/backlog for the Ohio test center is 6 months, and the Arizona center is currently closed for refurbishments, and are already building a waitlist (I'm on it) for after they reopen the beginning of June.
Lapua Rimfire Performance Center - Capstone Precision Group
We now provide testing in two convenient locations, one near Phoenix, Arizona and one near Columbus, Ohio. To schedule a test, please fill out an appointment request form here. We recommend you read through our important notes before testing. Location Information Rimfire Performance Center West
www.capstonepg.com Call or message these folks. Not sure if they have any left. Good people.
Wouldn’t allow me to share the post. Mr Big Guns in Huntsville, Alabama. Check them out.
Yup Matt M is good people no doubt thanks .. I shoulda went to that PRS match last weekend at Cavern Cove and stopped by the shop. Grrr life got in the way again.
Struck out at Mr Big Guns OOS @Masojoh we tried tho thanks
Champion choice has Lapua LR and SLR. Also SK LRM and RM.
Powder Valley has SK Standard + in stock, at $7.99 box it's a little high if I didn't have a bunch I'd order a few bricks.
Anyone willing to keep paying price gougers, get exactly what they deserve. If people would calm down, let the supply build up a bit, the prices would settle down...but fools won't let that happen.
Just got an email from Creedmoor Sports that SK Long Range is bac in stock. Don't really use it but thought I'd put it out there.
I saw Lapua Super Long Range on Champ's earlier today also, not sure if they still have any. The "case" price wasn't horrible, but still a little high.
I've bought a bunch through them. Like all rimfire ammo it's a crapshoot on how good it is. I have probably more "match grade" than I'll go through in the next two or three years, but I waited and searched around until I found it at a price I was willing to pay; which with the current market is less than 50% of the going rate. My point isn't to tell people not to buy it if the "need" (want) it, but spending extra money on it doesn't help anyone.
I understand your point, but I think you may be underestimating the permanent effect that inflation has had on production costs. Especially for ammunition made in the UK and EU.
If retailers were marking product at a higher margin than they were pre-Covid, waiting for inventory to build up and then forcing them to cut prices might work. But everything I'm seeing is suggesting that everyone is paying more, at all levels of the supply chain. Wholesale and distributor prices are still significantly higher. As are material costs.
I think you may be waiting a long time (perhaps forever) if you're waiting to see prices drop back to where they were prior to 2020.
