Brick of .22 Ammo

jimmyj · Feb 2, 2013

Hi:
I keep reading "A Brick Of .22 LR" ?
Is a "Brick" a carton containing 10 boxes of 50 rounds each= 500 rounds as in my era?

Vegetaman · Feb 2, 2013

If of regular .22LR ammo, I would say so.

If .22 mag, then I'd say only 100 rounds per brick.

Yep, round these parts.

Yes, ten 50-round boxes is a brick.

I've seen many people, on various boards, refer to 350 to 550 round "bulk packs" as bricks. They are wrong.

There are 50 rounds to a box, ten boxes to a brick, and ten bricks to a case. If they are packed any other way (CCI 100-packs, for instance), they aren't bricks.

^^^ This.

Nope. Common usage. Generally we will indicate the quantity when referring to a bulk pack, ie "550 rd brick." I often call them "bulk packs" implying they are loose boxed ammo as opposed to the nifty little 50 packs in the "bricks" of yore but most of us know what the other's talkin' about. Sometimes I call 'em bricks. Shorter than "bulk pack." I actually saw two of the old skool 10x50rd bricks of Rem Goldens in my local Turner's a couple weeks ago. Don't see them very often 'round here.

My buddys and I call the 325 and 550 packs "milk cartons". Ivan

I thought a brick was 10 fifty round clips.

A brick is used to build walls.

This is what I would go with.
"Bulk Pack" and "Milk Carton" is what I've always heard used for the more modern bulk packs.
Brick packaging goes back......what? A hundred years or more?

Here's some pics of some contract ammo. I've bought many cases of commercial ammp packed exactly the same-

22 Ball

I know a thing or two about brick, there are 104 in a strap and 416 a cube............wait a minute, wrong kind of brick.

I asked the brick: "Brick what would you like to be?"

The brick said: "I like an arch."

I said; "but I can easily put a concrete lintel over an opening and do it faster and for less money. What do you say to that, brick?"

The brick replied; "I like an arch."

I have not seen a .22 brick in years. All I see is 500 bulk "slush boxes" They seem a little dangerous packed that way.

I still see "bricks" all the time. Aguila is sole in bricks. Remington Target is sold in bricks, Ely is sold in bricks, Fiocchi is sold in bricks, and I am sure there are lots more.

You guys in Illinois have all the luck.

They're not allowed to have any guns so ammo is plentiful

That's enough. I apologize.

My cousin had a truck load of bricks delivered to his house a few days ago. I could not find (1) .22 round amongst them.

2152hq · Feb 3, 2013

I went to a small one day only gunshow early this morning and the 'bricks & milk cartons' of .22 ammo were priced anywhere from $65 to $95.

Some of it was actually finding buyers.

I bought a round ball mould I really didn't need and some #8 shot at a very good price. Needed that..
A project Parker,,almost.

Still can't get over the 22 ammo prices..

Isn't that a block?
I wonder how many rounds are in a block?

ChattanoogaPhil · Feb 3, 2013

From left to right.

50 Box - 500 Brick - 5,000 Case

I'm going to start counting just to make sure.

One 100-pack. Five 100-packs.

Let's try to figure out what this thing likes to shoot box.
