Good way to stock up for the next panic sales.

It's been a while since I've bought 22 in bulk. Is $.06 a round a good deal now?

If you're buying in bulk, probably not. It depends on the brand. I bought 5000 rounds of armscor this spring for less than 3.4 cents per round, even with shipping. Just checked and that is still available. I'll PM you the link.

It is odd for them to act like this is new. I have a round bucket of these I bought a couple of years ago from Academy. It goes bang every time in my Mark IV. I guess the quantity is slightly different 1100....the price is also a hair better at 4.5 cpr. I bought mine during the spring sale for stupid cheap.

yeah, I went to the link with the same thought. This isn't anything new. I think the article even said that it isn't a new concept, it is more than it has always been unreliable, ammo brands that did it in the past and they were saying "finally, an ammo I would actually like to buy that is doing this." Or at least that is what I got from it.

Most 22 seems about the same, cheap or expensive, doesn’t matter, 1 or 2 failures every range session, under charged, over charged failure to ignite, etc.

wasn’t a big part of why centerfire came around because rimfire had issues with reliability? Things never change

I just purchased high quality bulk .22LR for $.04 per round shipped.
