Well ther is more rabbit/squirrel left with a solid hit. Cheaper and quieter. That said I hardly shoot my 22 rifles anymore with the exception of the occasional silhouette matches.

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...

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.

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.

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
