Here is something I figured out.
Yesterday evening, me and the Mrs. went to our local walmart and while she did her thing, I went to the ammo counter. By golly, they had bulk packs of .22's, but the price was now $18.97!
You have got to be kidding me- they want that much for that junk? For a bit more, you can get good ammunition!
I think for no more than the price difference, I'll save my money for a case of Winchester Super-X HP's, and they are only $27.00 or so a brick, and I know they will go *bang* every time.
