Do you fart? Of course I still shoot 22โs. It is what people do! If I shot 100 rounds a day Iโd probably would be low on ammo in 2050๐๐ผ๐ Maybe I should sell some and buy some property?

A .22 LR has worked just fine for me for many years. Still does. I do not have a .17.

I should shoot more but living in western Oregon there's not much call for a 22 LR. Living in the desert everything is game, but I don't get over east much.

Sure we have a few rifles and handguns, and we bought ammo when we found some, but the 17 hmr is way more funner innyways. Maybe we should sell a few bricks to pay the mortgage? $175 for a brick of Thunderbolts really make me wonder. With That kind of money you could wander while you wonder...

Iโve got enough .22 to last me till I die. Ben can sell the rest after my funeral. I love plinking, and I like hunting squirrels with it. I was never one for hoarding, but a few years ago, I had to go easy on my supplies. I learned my lesson, and when things eased up, I bought enough to last. Same with primers, powder, and Bullets. Fool me once, shame on you.... 7mm

Still shoot the 10-22 and the Winchester auto some.
This moment i am waiting for the weather to get stable some so i can go shoot the Winchester 1885 in 17 HM2 i got at the end of last year.
Ammo can still be found and last i bought was around 10 bucks.

If you're paying today's prices, you weren't paying attention. With a 12 year old, it's what we're shooting the most. I saw the salad days for what they were and stocked up a few years ago. Those standard velocity blue box shoot great. The hot rod stingers and anything over 1400fps , open up groups
