I mostly go for CCI standard velocity as i shoot a lot of target pistol.....do not want to beat the guns up with HV....

A, uh, "friend" of mine just picked up the CMMG 22LR Conversion kit for his evil black rifle. "He" says its an awful lot of fun to work through those 50cal cans filled with 22. "His" trigger control is getting very good as is his target acquisition and shooting while moving. "He" says it was $200 very well spent and has paid for itself in about 3 weeks.

I saw 50 round box 9mm jump from 11.99 to 26.99 to 32.99 to nowhere to be found in less than 2 months.

And to think...... in short order the prices that we pay today will seem like a steal in compariosn to what is coming

Cue in the twilight zone music...

I just picked up 5500 rounds of 22lr at Walmart. Federal bulk pack for ~$150 with tax and everything.

Got another 800 rounds of 7.62 x 54r from aimsurplus for $150 plus tax and shipping. One of these days I am going to get a Mosin Nagant and shoot that stuff!!

Mosin-28/76 Finnish Mosin Nagant 28/76 7.62x54R Marksmanship Rifle

Item#Mosin-28/76
We just received a small shipment of the Finnish Mosin Nagant 28/76 7.62x54R Marksmanship Rifles. One of finest and most accurate Mosin Nagant rifles ever produced! A must for any Mosin Nagant Collector. Built in the 1970's from model 28/30's for Finnish military training, marksmanship qualification, and military competitions. These rifles feature Diopter sights, turned down bolt, match trigger, and birch target stock.

As shown in the pictures (more pics below), these rifles are in pretty nice condition. Expect minor finish wear along the sharp metal edges and high wear areas. The stocks will have minimal dings and dents from storage and use. These rifles are shipped in a foam padded hard plastic carry case inside of a double walled master carton.

I want one of those Finn Mosins put can't justify spending that much on another firearm right now.


OP you can never have too much .22 ammo. I have over 50 bricks now of the stuff and I will continue to pick up a few everytime my local Wally World gets them in.

I need to get me another rifle and a pistol that can fire this stuff just so I can spread out the ammo a little between firearms.

Re: i just bought 6,500 rounds of .22 long rifle
 
I remember when you could buy 762x39 at about the same price as .22
wish I had bought more then, and now when you can't find much of anything...and I come across a pallet of .223 and the price is high I think what is it gonna be on 20 years?
then I wish I had more cash
