Holiday Ammo-Shopping with AmmoSeek, GunBot, and Slickguns
With Christmas less than three weeks away, our readers’ thoughts are turning to holiday decorations, Yuletide gatherings, and “Where the heck can I find some darn .22 LR ammo!” Sad to say, you won’t find large quantities of .22 LR rimfire ammunition on the shelves of Wally World — those days are long gone. Affordable rimfire fodder remains in (relatively) short supply in the USA. However, if you’re willing to harness the power of the internet, you should be able to find the rimfire ammo you need.
We use three specialty search engines to locate bulk .22 LR ammo (and centerfire ammo as well): Ammoseek.com, Gunbot.net, and Slickguns.com. There are others, but these are three of the most effective. Here’s what we found this morning of December 6, 2014, using these three websites.
Ammoseek.com
It’s really easy to find .22 LR ammo using Ammoseek.com. There is a handy “Quick Seek” .22 LR search link that instantly searches 108 different vendors. Shown below is just a partial list of the 481 items we found in seconds using Ammoseek’s .22 LR Quick Link. For future reference, bookmark the following link: http://ammoseek.com/ammo/22lr.
Gunbot.net
Link Ammoseek.com, Gunbot.net provides single-click search capability for .22 LR rimfire ammo. Simply click on the “22LR” Link on Gunbot’s home page, and within a few seconds you’ll get results from dozens of online ammunition suppliers. And of course you can select other popular types of ammo with a single click as well. For the best deals, select “Sort by Price” with the sort pull-down menu (by default it displays the newest result first.) We’ve highlighted the sort field in the illustration below so you don’t miss it. (You’ll probably want to click “in-stock only” as well.) Bookmark this GunBot .22 LR Quicklink to speed up your next 22LR search: http://gunbot.net/ammo/rimfire/22lr/.
NOTE: Gunbot.net is slower than Ammoseek.com. However Gunbot.net’s page is clean and simple, not plagued by distracting banners.
Slickguns.com
The Slickguns.com site is a little different than Ammoseek and Gunbot, because it covers a wider range of products, including firearms, knives, shooting accessories and more. With so many options, it’s easy to get lost on the Slickguns.com home page. Here’s a tip for ammo-shoppers — first click the “Ammo” link at the top. Then pick “22 LR” from the list of ammo types. For easy reference, bookmark this link: http://www.slickguns.com/category/ammo?caliber=3.
NOTE: You can pick other ammo types from the list of “Popular Calibers”. Here’s what you’ll see on Slickguns.com’s Ammo Page:

I just looked thru each of the three sites for 338 Lapua Magnum and 50 BMG, cartridges all three include. Far and away the best site of these three is AmmoSeek. Why? You can search by brand and actually just get that brand in that cartridge. And the sellers listed have the lowest prices. I also found none of the mismatches on AmmoSeek that I did on the others – no .50 cal muzzleloader in with 50 BMG, no bullets in with ammo. And a VERY clean, professional layout. Like getting laser printer output rather than dot matrix output. Yes, brightly colored ads – sure looks a lot more inviting that straight text jammed together in strings.
Search by-brand for 338 LM, Lapua brand, on gunbot and you do NOT get a by-brand result at all. After the first 10-12 lines that are in order then its a free for all of mixed brands. Worst part about gunbot for this cartridge, they no not have the best sellers for price – by a long shot.
Slickguns did not even include Lapua brand 338 LM ammo.
Experiences with other cartridges and brands may vary. Lack of functionality remains. Check out each and judge for yourself.
Oh, and Slickguns doesn’t support searches by brand.
Eventually demand for the .22 ammo will dry up and supply will come back but with far less shooters. Hoarders doing the most damage to the future of rim-fire shooting. Coupled with a ridiculously run industry that cant meet demand.
Gunbot.net allows one to “Sort by Brand”. When we did this with .22 LR ammo results, all the hundreds of results appeared in alphabetical order, by brand name (Aguila to Winchester). (However, sometimes the brand word was preceded by a quantity — but the brand alpha-sort was still valid). The GunBot display looks fine on our desktop and laptop computers at normal, default pixel depth.
AmmoSeek is definitely faster, however, and Ammoseek also offers a proprietary Mobile App.
Editor:
Thanks for info on 22lr. My example of 338 LM shows a totally different result. If you are going to debate a point, use the same data. You have provided apples and oranges.
A similar site is http://www.wikiarms.com/ where you can set up e-mail alerts but no by-brand sorting.
