Really KILLIN' IT on the 22 lately...
Nearly 3k rounds between LR and MAGNUM This Last Week! :eek:

1,000 CCI Mini-Mags (online)
700 CCI Std. Velocity (LGS#1)
500 Remi Std. Velocity (LGS#2)
200 Aguila High Velocity (LGS#3)
450 (checking brands) 22Mag (LGS#3)
2,850 Total 22 Rimfire in less than 7 days! :D:D:D

Also scored a big wad of Federal Aluminum Case 40 & 45 (100 each) and
150 rds of the Brass Case "Perfecta" 9mm also at Mall-Warts ;)

Why the big influx of Ammo?
I used the bathroom at a local gas station, which I never go to, cuz it was
close to my destination (no public restroom, afaik). I usually buy gum or
something small, for politeness. As I left w/o buying anything, a very sweet
young thing with purple hair said "have a great evening!" and then I realized I
broke my tradition. So I went back inside and bought a $5 scratch-off. I've
never bought more than 1 or 2 of these unless it was to waste the winnings
of a ticket :eek: So I bought ONE. Scratched the scan code, (not the play surface)
and had her scan it. $250!!! :dance:
So I gave her a NICE TIP since she is the reason I felt bad for not buying anything!
Then I hit 2 LGS and Mall-Warts and spread the wealth :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm very blessed! :thankyou: :llama:

I really like the Perfecta brand. I used it for months before i scored 3000 rounds of Speer Gold Dot hollow points foor $200. (Police department was gonna destroy them, and offered them to the officers. Had a cop buddy snag me an ammo crate full.)

22lr comes and goes in waves here. One day its so plentiful noone wants it, then it goes weeks without being seen. Of course its the weeks i want some that its usually gone.

Yeah .22 is still not showing up anywhere around here these days.

I did add to my stash of 9mm, but I roll my own so I guess that doesn't count.

Got a few more rounds of the 9mm, guessing another 500 or so. This is what was left after the officers bought what they wanted. So my buddy was given the last of it. Bought him a case of beer and he gave it to me.

Give the guy some credit. I'm sure he at least got him some Natural Light.
All I could see in the header was give the guy some credit..... I magically deduced there would be a Natty Light reference when I opened it!...[emoji23]

I've wondered about the perfecta as well. I usualy shoot the aluminum 40sw federals since they're around $15 per 50. The perfecta is a buck more but can save the brass, might have to try it next time. 22's are nowhere to be found around here, it's terrible.
Yeah .22 is still not showing up anywhere around here these days.
I can assure you, when the 22 re-appears, it will be HIGHER in price. :mad:
CCI 22lr SV is running $3.95 per 50, LGS had Mini-Mags at $11/100 rds.
There is a great little mom & pop LGS that STILL sells regular 22lr for $2.50/box
but it is a limit of 2 and they still run out fairly quickly... :(
