I just picked up this bulk box of .22lr for $18.80. $18.80 per box divided by 525 rounds per box equals 3.58 cents per round of cop killing hollow point bullet. Some wack job can shoot up your school and each bullet they shoot at your child costs less than a nickel. That's all it takes per shot. No money figure can be put on a humans life, but to end it the price of the bullet is 3.58 cents. Are your jimmies rustling yet? Are you upset that someone who doesn't NEED this much ammo got it so easily and so cheaply? Does this interrupt your rest? Do you lose sleep knowing I have all this ammunition? Well don't sweat it. I have no desire to harm another life. I don't go hunting and I don't want to assault anyone. Go back to drinking your starbucks and have a nice day,
Those .22's jam a good bit in semi-autos---so we can breath more easy if you go postal. Waxy Yellowjackets are about the worst .22's except some Russian .22's I tried years ago that had a turkey on the box. Those leaded-up the barrel of my Hi-Standard and were thrown out. Use CCI Mini Mags or Federal bulk boxes instead.
You can't expect your average anti gunner to understand the concept of ammo quality. Rem Gold is pretty dirty but I haven't had much trouble cycling it. The only gun I ever had this stuff feed unreliably in was already prone to frequent jamming.
My Ruger eats these rounds up like penny candy. I may end up with a couple of misfires, but I have no issue with Remmies for target load. I do have enough .22 hollow points (cc) to feel comfy with. I purchased enough when I saw things going downhill, so I have plenty of everything. Either way, I don't plan on starting a revolution, either. I'm just as ready for it as I can be, just in case
Not at all, though I am well out of range here. Your post made me curious as to what your opinion is on all the stories a while ago (which seem to have died down for some reason) about government agencies ordering/buying large orders of ammunition, especially in the context of one of the questions asked about it, why did they need to buy hollow-points (the implication if not outright statement being made that it must mean they planned to kill people). It was just an interested correlation between your personal purchase and what was reported regarding the government agencies. That's exactly what someone who did have desire to harm people would say to throw us off the scent though.
don't know much about ammo, do you? HP's are for killing, not for target practice. That is their sole purpose, to kill. So you tell us, why would DHS buy over a billion founds of these?
Not a vast amount but enough to know it's not quite as straight forwards as you make out. If the sole purpose of this ammunition is to kill people though, what's your opinion of the OP buying hundreds of rounds? What's your opinion of the company that sold them to him or the laws that permit them to be sold?
I have a box of that garbage with about 450 rounds sitting in it. My MKIII and my 10/22 do not like it in the least. Jam-o-matic sort of ammo.
$23.49 at Bass Pro, but often found under $20. http://www.basspro.com/Remington-Golden-Bullet-22-LR-Rimfire-Ammo/product/40602/ Not sure why you think this is such a steal, or why you think this thread is going to rile up gun owners the way you're hoping. Availability is hardly an issue anymore, at least where I live. Besides most of the country stocked up years ago (for obvious reasons). Including me. As far as bragging about how cheaply you can end a life....if you're paying 3.58 cents, you're overpaying. There are a thousand free ways to do it, starting with picking a stick up off the ground. Or be a man, and use your hands. Anyway... good luck on your attempt to upset people, in an online forum.
He'll argue with one-liners all day, instead of just telling you it is hundreds of millions, not billions. But you're right. They did.
It might be regional. Some places in the States you cant find 22lr on the shelf. I have a little 22 single shot for plinking and the cheap stuff is perfect. Oh... My Ruger Mark I eats it up also.
He did not state "kill people" Joe. But it is effective for that purpose. Hunters use a wide variety of ammunition depending on the target.
Yeah I get maybe 1 misfire out of 75 so it's not too bad. .22lr is a plinker/light varmint round. I just thought it would be fun to mimic the fearful garbage organizations like the MDA spit out. I don't want to have to hurt anyone and I definitely won't do it unprovoked. It's like these people who freak out because they don't think you need a gun that holds more than 10 rounds. Most of the people like that don't know anything about guns. As for the guvment buying all our boolits I think it's part of the reason for the shortage, but a small part. Demand for ammo has risen drastically and has stayed up. True, but without an ass covering disclaimer that gives the ATF enough probable cause to kick in my door and shoot my dog. The problem is my dog is 5 miles away on a farm. They kick in my door, drive out to the middle of nowhere then shoot my dog just to prove a point. Those bullies! ;_; Sierra Match King bullets are hollow point, but they are designed for precision rather than killing. Still the government putting out contracts for good quality defense ammo seems pretty obvious to me it's not so much for target shooting. My .22 luger didn't like it either, but it was prone to jamming anyway. It needs new magazines. Gun owners know ammo too well for me to expect this to upset them. This is meant to poke fun at anti gunners. Where bimetal jackets, hollow points, and steel core all count as "cop killer" bullets and nobody ever needs more than 10 rounds I thought it would be amusing to play on that fear. Single shots are pretty hard to jam on their own. I have a friend in Arizona who works in a gun store. They got a large pile of .22 bricks they wanted $70 a piece. That's insane considering the same ammo would have gone for $20 12 months ago.

try actually reading the sources you cite................ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...meland-security-buying-so-many-bullets/...and
so, what does homeland security need with any ammo? Maybe to load these bad mutha (*)(*)(*)(*)as? http://www.examiner.com/article/dhs-buys-7000-assault-rifles
Glad we agree your claim was false. Now, what is your issue with a law enforcement agency using what virtually every law enforcement agency uses? You realize countless agencies across the country currently use select fire weapons right? As well as short barreled shotguns?
