You guys reminiscing about your H&R revolvers reminded me of my first handgun, a High Standard Sentinel Deluxe snub. Once I was informed that buildup of powder fouling and general corruption behind the extractor star was causing a drag in operation, I kept that part clean and never have had a second's trouble with it. I have put it away for literally decades at a time, and when I get it out of the safe it seems as glad to see me as a loyal puppy and will fire anything I put I it without a bobble. If, in these days of sketchy QC, I run up on some substandard ammo, I can get this old friend out and have a fun day getting rid of stuff none of my "high class" guns will tolerate.

I'd say every shooter would benefit from having such a gun... probably a revolver, and likely fairly low end, price wise. They make great companions that won't let you down.

I happen to have lots of 22s. About 80M rounds. A fellow called today and wants at least 5000 rounds. He offered 8 cents each. I offered to sell him 10-525 packs. So he bought them. I really don't need 'em and I paid right at 11 dollars each pack...and they are some of the older boxes I have though not the oldest. Knowing the fellow he will probably flip some and reduce the cost of the one's he keeps. So the 30 dollar price you paid is not such a bad deal. Good for you!!

Skeet, I'm guessing 80,000 rounds, not 80 million.

Ummm...yeah I still use ther original numbering system that was developed way before the metric system was in use or our normal english system. I never know what a K is... distance weight number. I still figure the amount of energy(?) of a bullet by foot pounds. I'll bet there are not very many that figure the energy of a bullet using the metric kPa. Still old school. I refuse to come into the metric system. I find it cumbersome to translate. I grew up with roman numerals

I was just looking at Ammoseek and the cheapest 22LR listed was Federal Champion Target 800 round brick for $270.00. (33.7 cents per round).
I stocked up on 22LR over the past few months and the most I paid was 10 cents a round for CCI Minimag, and I could find Aguila occasionally for 6 cents.

So what are the 330 round boxes of Federal Auto Match bringing? Maybe I could cut back on my shooting a little and make a couple of extra mortgage payments.

I own a Mark III Ruger heavy barrel with a red dot, an older Buckmark with a red dot, a H&R Sportsman top break, a S&W 63 4", and a S&W 18-3. Like the other posters, I bought 22 after the last ammo shortage every time I found it on sale. Of them all, I like the 18-3 and Federal LR. I shoot the H&R occasionally, it was the first handgun I ever fired and was left to me by my grandfather.

That is getting close to $17. a box. I don't have any too sell at any price but it's getting me too thinking that selling might be more fun than shooting. Larry
