Not only am I no longer buying 22LR, I'm not buying any more Unique, Power Pistol, or RL 15 either.
Who is with me?
Leave it on the shelves. I'm standing with you. All of you.

I'm still trying to figure out why I need 10,000+ rounds of .22 rimfire. Second that. My belief hoarders need to seek professional help. For they have mental issues. I don't plan on buying any 22 for years.

I'm in, but it's a lame promise because I probably wouldn't have bought any regardless. I'm down to one .22 rifle and one .22 revolver - and I haven't pulled either trigger in several years.

Haven't purchased bullets, powder or brass since 2011. No 22LR since early 2013 and have enough to last for at least five years. So ya count me in.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!

I haven't bought any 22lr in three years. Hell haven't seen any on the shelf at the lgs in two years. Did see $60 bricks at the gun show. I refuse to pay scalper prices! That being said I do have several thousand rounds, I stocked up a bit after Obama got elected the first time. All this nonsense has cut down my use of 22lr. Thats ok I made up for it shooting my centerfires. So you can count me in!

I read a post by Billy Goat Gruff [ I think] recently that stated he planned on shooting a 5 gallon bucket of .22 over the summer. That is a great plan and I may have that much in my stash. I can refrain from purchasing more until June 1. Now all I have to do is get off my ass and shoot.

I haven't bought any in probably 5 years, and haven't shot any in probably two years. I only have a about 2,000 rounds, and given I went from about a 500/week habit 6 or 7 years ago, I might have been better off with a crack addiction.
Some people have kids and stop drinking and partying, I have kids and stop shooting.
The oldest is 2.5 years old in a couple of years my .22 consumption may go way up.

mike r if i did my math right that should be 16,225 rounds 550 round federal value pack is 3.5"x2.8"x4" and that is 39.2 cubic inches one gallon is 231 cubic in so 5 gallons is 1155 cubic in. 1155/39.2=29.5 29.5*550=16,225 so a 550 round box of Federal 36 grain weighs 3.96 Lbs, in box 4.2 Lbs according to the manufacture 3.96*29.5=116.8 116.8 lbs of .22 RF in a five gallon bucket so that's 19,800 grains of lead, or 2Lbs, 13.25oz. of lead per box or 83.43 LBs of lead per bucket so at Scrap prices That's $66.08 worth of lead.

WyoCowboy: That sounds like a slightly better than average spring ground squirrel season here. I load single shot, and a brick a day is about right.
I saw some CCI's in Sportsman Warehouse for $12.00+ a hundred this past weekend. First I've seen in near 3 years. I saw the writing on the wall in 2008 and stocked up then.
I've also pulled the firearms and put the ammo in the safe.

If this works you can get back to your main plan of everyone not buying gas one particular day and bakrupting the oil companies. Beat me to it

I recall a particular field in Utah, so heavily infested with ground squirrels that growing any crop there was futile. I shot it several times each Spring with one other guy. We called this 100x300 yard strip of pests the "Two Bricker" because we could each shoot a full brick (500 rounds) walking out, and another one on the walk back. And when we'd fired all 2,000 rounds and looked back, we could tell no difference in the number of scurrying bodies in sight. (No, that's not because we missed a lot. Neither of us missed many at all.)
I'd hate to know what such a day would cost us now.

I haven't bought any since before O'losers 1st election, shot my stash down to approx 2,000 rds and quit shooting .22 except to kill stuff.
Don't plan on buying anything but high end match, made offshore anyway, anytime soon.

I'm still trying to figure out why I need 10,000+ rounds of .22 rimfire. This is just one reason, others have more....... My six grandchildren, three boys, three girls just love shooting the .22 rifles. It's a brick or two every outing we have at the farm. My son and I don't get too much shooting done other than demonstration and training.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.
