Wow, I found some of the new super hot CCI 40gr Gold Dot short barrel 22WMR online.  $18.99/50.  High, I know, and the shipping was $10, but I decided WTH, and added it to my cart, opened an account, fed in my CC# and made it to the final verify your order page.  Something on that page made me back-out at the last minute.  Can't say for sure what it was, but I just couldn't "pull the trigger".  Oh well, my LGS will get it someday.

NO KISS WITH THAT DEAL!

YIKES! $45 for a box of .22 mags?

You did not get cold feet, instead you exercised fiscal responsibility. Cudos, what you did is a rarity in America today. You must not be a politician, banker or a Union boss.

Is this vendor in one of the states that suck that impose fees or taxes on sales of such items like this? Why else would they do something like that??? That's just crazy. (Does it have to do with shipping these items?)

Thanks Sleddogn: Done deal!  Still high with the shipping, about half what "those other guys" were asking.  I've been wanting to try these and the new Hornady short barrel 22 WMR critical defense.  I'll probably overpay for those also!

NAA collector:  They (the first guys) were charging TX sales tax.  Therefore, they're in Texas.  I'm in Texas.  You can ship firearms without an FFL intrastate. Simple "we will, because we can" rip.  

   

   About half the price with http://www.eastexshootingsupply.com">www.EASTEXSHOOTINGSUPPLY.COM.  

   

   Thanks Sleddogn  !!

Gents,

   

   http://www.eastexshootingsupply.com">www.eastexshootingsupply.com is my site...

   Sleddogn - hope you were happy with the order! You should have got 5 boxes - no extra shipping cost - just a flat rate $10.99 no matter what you order!

   

   Checked on those Hornady short barrel 22 WMR critical defense - out of stock wherever I look - here's the link on our site for when they're back in:

   I don't want you to go home thinking you over paid - let me know if you find them cheaper!

Love those "handling fees..."   I always want to tell them, "Well, do me a favor and don't HANDLE it... just SHIP it!"

   

   What a load.  Good to find an alternative out there!

Cal's sporting armory has the CCI short barrel in stock for $12.88 per 50, and reasonable shipping fees.  I have 4 boxes arriving tomorrow.

   PS total shipping and handling was $12.21 for the 4 boxes of ammo and two holsters by UPS.

"super hot" = super loud ?

   

   

   Has anyone seen any quiet, slow, heavy, 22 mag rounds.

Mr 450Bushmaster-

   Welcome to the forum!

   

   All-

   I have located some of the Gold Dot short barrel .22 mag ammo. Once I have it in hand, I will make it known here for anyone still looking for it.

   

   Like Mr. 450 Bushmaster, I can't find the Hornady ammo in stock. I wonder if they are even shipping it yet.

What a scam! I just checked Cabelas and they don't list it yet.

I'm holding out for the new ammo to get to my favorite local retailer.  That is a lot of obama-bucks for .22 mag!

   Bill, my post was the one directly above yours. I get the flat rate thing and your price (half what AEON charged) and was very pleased with the service.  I hope you didn't take my post as a criticism.  You're my site now for ammo!!

   Just to be perfectly clear:

   

   I have dealt with eastexshootingsupply.com and recommend them highly!

Sleddogn, thanks for the tip.  I just ordered some of the CCI stuff from them.

   No worries!  I'm glad you're happy with the order, and thanks for the good feedback!

Lewiss:

   

   What is a scam?  I have 4 boxes of the CCI at home, so its existance is certainly not a scam.  Some of the pricing may be.  Is Cabelas a guide as to what is real or something?

   

   I don't understand your post I guess

Hey Guys,

   

   CCI/Speer Short Barrel 22WMR 40Gr Gold Dot Hollow Point

   

   These are finally available again - sorry it took so long.  Less than 100 boxes left already.  Our cost increased so we had to bump the price a bit.  

   

   Remember ship as many other items as you want, no extra shipping.
