Stopped by Wal-Mart off Marsha sharp freeway here in Lubbock after work this morning for a few items. I slid by the ammo counter three guys were waiting around talking. They let me know there was ammo coming out . One guy had to leave as he had a Dr.'s appointment. Dang all they had were two cases of the thousand round M22 and the first two guys in line took one a piece. I was still able to walk away with 3 boxes of Winchester 333 HP for $48, pretty much a thousand rounds. I only wish I could have gotten some of that Winchester M22 have never shot it before. You know what was cool is the first guy could have taken both boxes of the M22, but he left one for the next person!!!
Guy's keep an eye on Gander Mountain, I've picked up 2500 rounds of CCI minimag 40 grain last week and just got another 1000 - 36 grain this morning at $7.99/100 with free shipping. They limit 500 per day but they're ways around it.
I'd post a link but it sells out quick the 36 grain is already sold out, but this is in stock. Free shipping

I picked up 4 boxes at Riflegear in Plano today. They would have sold me more but he stated they have it regularly so a few boxes a week is my plan. 
They had 50 boxes of CCI mini mags too.
They had 50 boxes of CCI mini mags too. Cabelas had 500 rnds Remington Golden bullets HV $48 only allowed to purchase one brick. Gander mountin had 100rnds CCI green tip for $18 pick up two as I have never shot any. Academy stocked about 30 100rnd packs of Remington Golden bullets HV picked up two per policy all here in Lubbock.
If you spoil yourself, you'll have trouble going back to, say, Remington Golden Duds.
My Ruger loves that stuff. Most accurate of all the various 22 I've shot through it over the years. Can't find it anywhere. Academy had some, but it sells before I can get to it.
The CCI AR Tactical stuff is a close second.

If its the Remington thunderbolt ammo you are talking about, I wouldn't pay 3 cents a round for it!!!!! I bought 2 boxes at Walmart a few months ago. It was by far the absolute worst ammo I have ever encountered!!! At 25 yards, it had a vertical spread of about 6" out of a bolt action savage bbl! Not to mention having to spend almost 2 hrs trying to clean the lead and powder fouling out of the gun!
Same gun, same distance, aguila ammo:
Well honestly, I don't take shooting 22 all that serious, just thought based on the title of the thread "Where to buy 22..." my post would be germane and helpful to some who might feel the same way.

I agree but after that range session, I wanted to warn anyone who was thinking of ordering that what they were getting into beforehand. Some things are best left on the shelf no matter the price!

LOL!!
I'll note one exception to that.
While I have no use for inaccurate .22 ammo, if you can find a source of ammo that reliably fails to fire about ten or twenty percent of the time you'll actually have something useful.
The standard way of helping people accept that they have a flinch is to have someone else load their firearm for them. With a high percentage of duds, it's possible to do anti-flinch training even without a training partner.
I bought a case of surplus, (apparently) poorly stored ammo. 20% are duds. At first, I was pissed and, with full disclosure, gave a bunch of it away. Then I came to appreciate it as a training aid. Now I consider it some of my most valuable ammo.

Not the greatest deal when you add shipping, but it's there as of 0930 Weds morning. Probably can add some CCI to it also to make the shipping worthwhile.

Academy and Walmart have them in stock most of the time. And about $6 cheaper! I picked up a box the other day for $17.99
