I have a couple thousand rounds of these put away...I guess I can't shoot them up now.

The rest of their .22LR ammo is expensive as shit too.

Something is going on that CCI can't supply the market with Mini-Mags by now.

Just the market. CCI is what everyone wants because it's the best. I'm sure you can still pick up cheap boxes of that nasty Remington junk that has a dud every 5th round or so and leaves your gun full of soot.

I wonder if we will ever see boxes of 500 rounds of 22LR for $20. I miss those days.

where you been, EE. Cheaper than Dirst has basicaly been boycotted by the firearms community at large since their multiple shennanigans during the AWB scare last year. Before that they were written off by most serious gun owners after their 08 price raping.

CTD is a disgracefull, deceitfull, ethically bankrupt corporation that has time and again raped the gun community for their own profit.

35 to 50 frns are the new normal. You may need to look and wait, but you can find it.

Bass Pro has CCI MM for $8.99 for a 100 rd box on their site but says in store only. The actual in store price is $19.99. I just missed the feeding frenzy yesterday.

I knew they were rediculas and wrote them off too. I was just making the rounds to see if anyone had Mini-Mags.
The gall of them to ask these prices!

That's why I am not shooting my CCI's.

sounds like what I was shooting last night. Grabbed some ammo that the range gets made cheap, reloads so not expecting primo stuff but the number of rounds that were either fizzers or too hot pissed me off. Makes it hard when your comp shooting and the thing is either wheezing out the bullets or lighting up the booth like fireworks. In one case I was sure the projectile kind of dripped out the barrel. The guy who makes the stuff is dodgy IMO and I've seen his operation. Often thought it would be cool to get into the gun trade. Maybe manufacture ammo. Give him a run for his money.

need to change clubs so I can shoot some real ammo and make my own. Pretty much given up seeing any more whitebox stuff down here. The last ammo place I went to has had whitebox on back order nearly 2 years. Can't get the stuff. I got a swag of it last time they had any but it's too hard (FMJ) for the range I shoot at so it's still sitting there waiting.

If you wrote them off, then you would not post this. When they phucked us over before, most thought it was a one time deal. Second time around, everyone figured out they were getting it in the ass and avoided them. I don't care what they have, or at what price. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Whatever you need can be had for somewhere else.
I have spent allot of money with them, thousands, and liked everything they had. After this last phuck they did and are doing, your a fool for even looking at their site. I'll spend the extra $ on the guy who stands for the 2nd and charges a bit more.
If you need cci go to ammoseek and check them often.
