Quoted:
Whenever I shop at Walmart, I buy finish all my other shopping and then swing by sporting goods. If someone is there at the register, I will buy one 500 rd Box of Federal Champion for $12.80. This way I get to skip the lines at the front of the store and pick up a box of .22 for a great price. This plan has me up to 20k or so rounds.

damn, you can actually find people in the sporting good dept.  i have to track people down and then they have to call somebody, who calls somebody else.  and 15 minutes later they tell me the person w/ the keys is on lunch.   i hate that place.

The .22 isn't locked in the case at my Walmart, just behind the counter.  If There is noone there I just reach and grab it and carry it up front.  Noone has said anything yet.

About 10k of standard and about 5k of hollowpoints.  I just bought 2k of the 5mm Rimfire Remington that Augilla is producing, hoping to pick up another rifle.  I need to stock up on 17HMR, I've only got about 1000 rounds stuck away.

Jesus you guys are ammo whores.  



I think I have a total of 800 rounds.  Give or take 100.  Of course, my only .22 jams every other round and shoots 6" low at 50 yards with the scope adjusted completely.

easy

just buy a brick everytime you are in the sporting goods store
it builds up quick.

I been buying 6 to 8 value packs/month for the last 15 months or so, and shooting a pack or three of it every month, I haven't counted what I actually got stored, but it's added up to a nice amount after that bit of time.

Just under 40k but working towards 100k, which is my goal. Just FYI, a 40MM ammo can will hold just about 40000 rnds in the 50rnd boxes. I have my second can in hot stand by and I need to refurbish the third can which I have on hand.



How much would that weigh? 300 lbs or so?

****Shim the bottom of the rear scope ring; if gun doesn't function then hitting with first shot is an important concept!

28k going for 80k at minimum - WHY?
Future...
1. Cost increase(assured)
2. Taxation(likely)
3. Restriction(possible)
Prices are still good.

Only interested in Fed Bulks and all of CCI's products.

Since the "ban of '94" I have bought one brick of .22 shells every week from Walmart while getting our groceries. That's 14 years, times 50 bricks a year-2 weeks vacation. You figure it out. Now, I do shoot quite a bit of .22 as well and I have two sons that help....nonetheless, it's well over 150k- well over.

At $10-15 a brick it's not tough to do. Every week....a little "savings" account if you will. Hell, I don't even go to the store anymore, my wife picks it up as part of her regular list! I think the guy behind the counter would call the police if she didn't show up two weeks in a row and report her missing!

I have 3 layers of homemade soda can shims underneath the rear ring.  

The next thing I will try is to swap the front ring for the rear ring.  I am starting to suspect that one of the rings is out of spec compared to the other.  I cannot remember where I got the mount and rings.  But that seems to be a likely culprit.  I havent shot the gun much in the past ten years.  I had to leave them at home while I was in the service and went overseas, then could never bring them back with me while I was stateside.  Its been bugging me for awhile.

Maybe 9k right now, but I just got my first .22 rifle 6 months or so ago so I haven't had much time to buy. I keep hearing of another price increase on 22lr coming in June so I need to buy more!

Some things to consider. Ammo may not always be avablile. It can be bartered and used as a form of currency if WHEN the time comes. It is not a round that your going to be reloading. The more the better.

I am embarrased that I only have around 10 to 12,000 rds. on hand. If I could find another source for Federal Auto Match, I would probably pick up another 5,000 in the next couple of months.
My nephews and I are going to do a heck of alot of shooting this year!

Ever find a good source for automatch?  I buy out Walmart regularly but I would love to get a case of it somewhere.  Wally world normally only has a few boxes in stock.

What have you stocked?   Everything I shoot out of my pistols is subsonic.  The only thing I need subconic ammo for is the long guns.

I have a suppressed Browning Buckmark pistol.  Just about any 22lr ammo stays subsonic when shooting it.  The P22, since it has a shorter barrel, should be similar.  I only need to use subsonic 22lr ammo in suppressed rifle length barrels.

And as to the OP's original question-

@8k subsonic
@10k high velocity

I'm down to about 6 CCI blazer bricks, 2 bricks of rem hollow points, and about 800 rds assorted CCI goodstuff (shorts, longs, standard V, minimags), and 2 bricks of Wolf match target.

I'd like to see the wolf match target come back down to under $30 again.  I won't buy it at $40-50.  Shame too, the 40x won't chamber most of my other stuff except the CCI Std V, (as it shouldn't, but you get the idea)
