I shot 300 rounds of .22 this weekend!

[PapaScout]

It felt great to get out and just shoot over half a box of .22lr.

Was good for the soul and helped me really get used to my new Ruger 22/45 Lite. A year ago I wouldn't have given it a second thought about it but like a lot of people recently I've felt like I needed to conserve.

Ahhh when the land is under drought only the King wastes water.

I got a 1,400 round box of .22LR for Christmas and, surprisingly, I've only used 200-400 rounds out of it so far. I guess I've started conserving ammo without realizing it. Although I'm manually conserving currently because I want to teach a cousin of mine how to shoot who has never even held a gun in his life.

I put about 200 down the pipe in my mark
2 yesterday. It was a good day to shoot . 22lr luckily I don't need to conserve
Right now got plenty. now other calibers are a different
Story.

I bought 4K rounds last fall before the shortages started. And i am glad I did.

I haven't shot 300 rounds of 22 in the last 4-5 years and I have thousands or rounds of it.

Be happy to take it off your hands, horndylnl!

I saw the writing on the wall so I bought some. 4 years ago.

 

[philbun]

I fell guilty shooting my ammo I'm scared I can't replace it.

.22lr is always fun to shoot. I wouldn't worry too much about not shooting until we find out a little more about the happenings on Capitol Hill. Just go have some good ol' fashioned American fun

Oh come on. These are crazy prices. I still find 22 bulk at Walmart from time to time.

I wonder what CCI thinks of these prices?

I bought a sweet old falling block Winchester 1885 "Low-Wall" in .22Lr last year. Being a single shot, it takes more time to shoot, but it saves ammunition. It's also extremely fun to shoot, and it helps me keep in practice for cheap.

I just bought 2000 rounds last night to keep up with our shooting. It should be here next week. Yippie. Paid a little more than usual $.07 a rd. for Aguila Super Max but in these times I'll take it. I had 1500 rounds of Winchester M22 show up this week ( $.05 ea) so I'm shooting tomorrow.

I remember as a kid, i couldnt get rid of it fast enoug. My little lock box always had several bricks of thunderbolts. That was over twenty years ago. Now... I rush to another town to by several bricks to sit on... Grrr. I want my country back!

 

[RSW]

Even though I didn't spend $50 for the brick, it still feels like I'm spending $50 when I burn through one.

 

[oneshotadam]

That sounds like fun I need to go do that sometime soon

Yeah, I've acquired a pile myself over the years, but since I can't reload it I'm always looking to add to the stash.

Supply and demand.. not gouging. It is an auction. No one is forcing them to buy it. But then again I am a capitalist.

You and I seem to be the one of the few around here.
