22 ammo

[moonsterman]

I swore after the whole covid thing that left me flat footed w/only 7k worth of ammo , that if ammo came back on line I would buy as much s could. I went 2 fleet farm 2 weeks ago...bought some....1 week later MOST of what was left was gone. what gives? Now b4 I you ***** at me 4 stocking up TOO MUCH I have 9000 of mostly cci SV and another 1500 in 22 mag.

I think 9 million rounds of .22 borders on excess, but that's just me, YMMV.

You’ve reached the point that you should begin to diversify!

Perhaps begin to hunt down 38 special ammo.

 

[moonsterman]

let me be clear..I have 9000s rds of 22 lr and another 1500rds of 22 shorts and 1400rds of 22mag. I have soooo many 9mm and 38/357bullets its not funny. I keep buying 22 because I cant reload it.

You likely have a lifetime supply.

You likely have more than enough for several trips to the range ....I recommend you don't buy any more .

You can never have too much CCI SV. I run five different. 22 rifles and the SV groups great in all of them. Sometimes better than the high priced stuff.

I've bought CCI SV by the case for years. Much better than the bulk junk stuff. The CCI costs a little more but it's worth it not to have to deal with inaccuracy and cartridges that don't fire.

If you can’t get to your commode - you have too much 22 Ammo!
Otherwise, rock on!
I haven’t bought any in a week or two, but tomorrow is another day!

Sounds like you need to buy a few cases (5000 rounds) of different flavors of 22lr and a few k more 22mag. There is nothing wrong with going to the range and having some left over after you have shot all you want and then some.

I probably have at least 30,000 rounds of assorted .22 LR along with maybe 10,000 .22 Shorts. I don't need any more but when the online ammo sellers send me emails with deals I have to fight the urge to buy more

FWIW, in my assorted 22 semi auto pistols , revolvers, and rifles CCI standard velocity is the ONLY ammo to function 100%. Sadly every other mfg 22s have many DUDS, some fire when round is rotated in chamber which just tells me some dag gone pin headed pencil pusher has mandated a “ reduction” in primer material in the case. So be it will just use CCI. Now before I get jumped on the high end target rounds work fine, just not going to go shoot up 5-6 boxes of Eley or similar.

If you only have 9k of 22 rimfire that’s less than 2 cases and factoring in grandchildren that won’t last long. You gotta think 1 is 0 and 2 is 1 and think in cases. I guess you could have too much ammo but I can’t imagine what that number would be and you can’t depend on a seller to have ammo when you need it..

There used to be a hardware store near me so full of pallets of 22 ammo you couldn't get down some aisles. And it was always that way. But the owner passed on...

Get out the actuary tables, and determine what you have left subtracting your age from the terminal number. Figure that you may not be able to get to a range probably for all that you have left. Divide how many rounds you have now by the remaining years. Now some of you might discover that you have alot of work ahead of you to use that all up in time remaining. If you are a kid, well, maybe wait awhile to do your figuring. Maybe there is an idea called "He who dies with the most ammo, wins" but that is kinda pointless.

I'm looking for that "very special" ammo hoarder!

Like a lot of guys n gals on this forum, I too have stocked up on ammo that I can shoot in all my collection, from S&W's (old and new...semi's and wheel guns, shotguns, milsurps, etc. BUT...not being a reloader....I'm at a big loss for 32-20 WCF for my 1921 (per Roy) Model 1905 4th change.

So......anyone here that is overstocked on 32-20 WCF, and wants to send me some (for a price of course)????

In your formula you neglected to include ((a*c/gk)yr)squared/X. Amount of ammo times caliber divided by number of grandkids times the number of years, then doubled then divided by X. X is the unknown factor which is how many of the grandkids get girlfriends/boyfriends who shoot.

I hear ya. I'm thinking of joining AAA -- Ammo Accumulators Anonymous.

I enjoy my centerfires but a good deal of my shooting is done with the .22 rimfire cartridge . It's pretty much the only way I can afford to shoot as much as I do.
I have bolt action, semi auto and lever action rifles as well as semi auto pistols and a revolver all chambered in .22 LR .
I tend to go through a lot of ammo over the course of a year.
Availability and prices on .22 ammo are quite good right now so it would be a good time to stock up if needed .

I have always kept "some" on hand since Reagan was president.....I won't give numbers.
