I don't understand this. Shooting 9mm for .10/rd is a good deal, but it's still not cheaper than .22lr. I'm not sure where the ammo in the picture was purchased, but I've been very successful in buying .22lr for under .10/rd. If you put a little internet time in, you can even get mini-mags for under .10/rd including shipping.
Don't get me wrong, .10/rd for .22lr sucks, but for us non-reloaders, it's still the cheapest way to shoot and even with reloading, it's apparently close to even a little cheaper. Though I will admit, I'd rather shoot 9mm than .22lr but I don't reload.
Hi Jerry, The mini-mags came from the gun shop I use they were just less than $10 for 100 over with tax & the only place I have seen any for any price in a long time. I don't think they are much cheeper than that at WM. Was taking my Grandson to shoot & my 15-22 loves them so I was glad to find them even at .10.
The federal match was from a 325 box I gave $24.95 for.
I know if i put in the time I could save a little buying on line.
I just don't want to buy ammo on line, bunch of reasons, but mostly I told myself back when all the price gouging was going on that I would just not shoot before I would give them 1 cent.
My most fun shooting now is with my Grandson & I will pay a little more for that, but for my plinking I will not.

I was not really trying to compare 22lr to 9mm don't think you can. What I was saying is for my money when 22lr is even close to half the cost of 9mm I am going to stock up on the 9s, lot of reason for that as well not the least of which is keeping the Wife & myself trained & ready. Heck I've even found some Fed. 9mm for $9.97 box of 50.

I was just cleaning weapons & there was an odd 22 that got in my pistol bag laying there with some 9s & I thought the visual of seeing what I got for half as much for was worth sharing.

( I am adding this : I just for the heck of it went to the in stock thread looked at a lot on the last page & my prices are even a little low for most of them : - )

Happy plinking , be safe , have fun & thank God we live where we can collect as much as we want of what ever we want , well almost
