.22 ammo - Kurt - 01-15-2015
I see the .22 ammo is starting to show up on the local shelves finally.
I just picked up some .22 Fed auto match for $17. and he said I can have two boxes for now. So I got two because my CPA shoots them so well. The marked velocity is 1200 fps, a little faster then I want but I think by the time they get pushed through the 28" barrel they should be close to subsonic.
Also Norma ammo is on the shelves too here local.

Kurt,
I've noticed a lot of .22 ammo here lately. Mostly general run-of-the-mill stuff. I got 4500 rounds delivered to my door for $150 a while back, and have another 5000 coming for less than that. Its the green/yellow Remington 550 round per box stuff. It may be several years old, but it shoots fine, so I guess it was kept dry, somewhere.
Dave and I are shootin' some .22 silhouette matches at a club where they have a heated shed to shoot from
!All the best,
Jim

Jim I have some old mid to early 80's .22 standard target Rem shells left from a case I got when I was shooting pistol bulls eye. Some is turning gray like I am but wipe it off with a rag it still shoots gophers

Carol picked up a box of that Federal auto match at Cabela's the other day, we have not had a chance to shoot any of it yet.
Has anybody shot any of the SK magazine ammo? It comes in a 500 round sealed can. I've got two cans of it, but haven't opened one yet.
Hopefully the weather gets straightened up and we can get some shooting done.

I've heard about some new CCI's on the shelf, limited to one box per customer per day at $4 per box of 50 but I haven't seen any myself.

Some of us old geezers remember when .22 shorts were $0.17, longs were $0.20 and long-rifles were $0.25, back in the 1950s or so.

Yup sure do Jim. Monkey Wards and the Gamble Store had the Hiawatha .22 ammo for that price
