Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Lack of 22 LR is saving....

Way to go, you really showed them!

.22 rf aint the end all be all of ammo. amazes me when people are posting "thank GAWD i found a brick of schitty overpriced rimfire." get outta the house a little, try some ... i dunno ... centerfire?

Gotta avoid those retailers that like 200% markup!

Pellet gun

seal_billy - "Pellet gun"...how about a resurgence in Mattel's cap guns? For those too young to recall: used a red paper roll with powder encapsulated that went 'POP' when struck by the six-shooters hammer. BTW -did not work too well when damp. Had a copy of a Mattel M3 "Grease Gun" with clock work mechanism that could fire a whole roll...those were the days. Homesteader

Shooting a lot never was an inexpensive hobby.

I just paid $75 for 900 rounds of CCI Mini Mags and would have bought more at that price if they had let me. I could have bought federal auto match for about $10 cheaper for 975 rounds, but it doesn't work very well in the wife's and daughter's pistols. I have more than enough to feed my rifles but will keep buying Blazers and Mini Mags when I find them for $8 a hundred rounds.

I just sold some bulk and I think after shipping it was 25 bucks each. About what I paid for it and I wasn't shooting it. It is out there if you look. I don't actively look for it but with Dick's, GM, Bass Pro, and Cabela's all close by I walk through the ammo section on the rare occasion I am there and it is sometimes in stock. Some guys shoot a lot more than me and my son's CZ Scout shoots RWS way better than anything else.

Its out there and it's reasonable, you just have to be patient and look

I just bought 2 500 round bricks of federal non-bulk for .04 a round

I have been able to score around 2 bricks a month, which is more than enough, but that's the rate of success as well so it's scarce but there

If you don't have the casting and sizing equipment on hand, blems and Trail Boss can get you there at a reasonable price and a considerable savings in time. At the velocities and pressures generated, the difference in barrel wear for most folks would be minimal, I believe.

Wish the 5.7 was more popular Seems like it could be a great 22 mag equivalent in a reloadable case. I know the 22H is out there but I always hear people complaining about the difficulties in reloading it. When we start shooting more I will probably just use a 223. I am waiting patiently for CZ to switch to all 1-9 twist an then I am going to get my boy a 527 carbine.
