I picked up some Aguila Super Extra 22LR copper plated 40 grain solid and 38 grain HP...with shipping 0.0373 cents per round delivered from Midsouth Shooters Supply. 

I've never shot any of this before.....but for the price it's gotta plink.

The Aguila that I have used is good stuff. I use their high velocity HP stuff and it is comparable to CCI Stinger ammo. I carry the Aguila in my NA Mini pocket gun.

Under 3 cents a round : Smoke'em if ya got'em...ammo availability

Midway is selling Remington gold 22LR for $2.93 per 100.  If you click on the 50 or 500 quantity the price goes up.  However, unless you can bundle it up for cheaper shipping it ends up being around 3.9 cents a round for 1000 rounds (10 boxes of 100).

Good luck finding 22 long rifle out there.  There is some and not at too high a price...maybe 5 cents a round.  But all of the sub 4 cents a round 22 is gone from the places I checked. 

So...do you guys have enough 22LR in stock?  Time to evaluate did you have enough lying around before this virus hit.

Can't remember the exact numbers, but I had enough to cover me for a full season of bullseye (100+ rounds per week) and small bore (100+ per week), and practice, and to have some left over.  This is all CCI Standard Velocity - The round my Ruger Mark III's love and that my Savage responds well to as well.

I have a lot of other .22 as well in different manufacture - A few precision an a lot of high velocity.  This is all packed away yet from the move.

I also have quite a bit of center fire, but starting to run low on self defense stuff.  Practice is done with JHP or Ball, and I do run a few of the good stuff during each session.  If this crap goes on for too long my EDC will be affected by ammo availability.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Since you brought up the Rimfire Challenge in Fort Smith this year and got me fired up about everything 22 and I took stock of what I have.  I'm good on ammo.  I bought 10k of Aguilla 22LR (which I have never run) a couple of months ago.  But I did notice that 22LR is practically gone now.

You dog.  You have me looking for new dots on the 10/22 also.  I'm going to set up a range to practice on at the place in Arkansas...so I'm also needing some additional steel targets.  Thanks a lot for costing me what little cash I have right now....

Mike, you dang well better show up at Fort Smith this year.....

Sorry!!!  Michael Bane has cost me more money than my bride!

I am moving forward with plans, I am watching the Bride's health, and double checking every "save the date" thing we have been sent.  I have a nephew that is getting married this fall that is a must attend - Better not mess with Rimfire!

I am going to pull out the repeating airsofts, and ordering a Crosman 1077 for practice in the basement/garage/backyard (I'm sure I'll set someone off in the neighborhood with this one).

I have about 600 or 700 rounds of Remington and Winchester to barter with.

I have no working .22..
