Agreed. PMs were valued by the barbarians during the darkest days of the Dark Ages.
The closest thing to an economic apocalypse in America occurred in the South during CW1. Paper money was worthless, PMs were not.
I use CCI minimags. They work in every .22 I own (and I’ve got quite few).
I do not have a reccomendation for any particular model of for the 22WMR. I run mine thru a Savage bolt action with a suppressed barrel using 30gr Vmax ammo. Nice shooter and great for neck shots. The Vmax is some flat shooting stuff.
My everyday shooting has tapered off considerably. Still air my long range stuff out once a week and pistol drills once a week.
Way too many honey dooos but that is okay.
“Honey Doos” keep Mama happy...
cause when Mama ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY happy...
General rule of thumb!!!
Isn’t that the way!!!? Truer words were never spoken and they will apply long after we are gone! (Not a darn thing wrong with keeping them happy either, they try to keep us happy also......I think.....some of ‘em......sometimes!!)
Thanks for the rec. I have been a Savage fan for a while. They are a very well manufactured product for a fair price. I don’t really need, (Need?....NEED?! Am I listening to myself!? Since when did ‘need’ ever enter into a firearm purchase of mine!!??) a .22WMR with the large assortment of other smaller Cal. rifles in the old inventory but why not another one?! Was the suppressed barrel an add on after purchase or did you receive it new in that configuration?
Dittos to the CCI minimags!!! They are the only .22LR brand I feed my .22LR rifles and handguns and have been for years. I purchased quite a LOT, (both HP and solids), in bulk buys a few years back and am still shooting that ‘pile’ down. I do not think I will live long enough to get thru all of it and that is shooting a bit each week. My rifles and handguns both function and perform great with the CCI’s so why change? Sure there other brands that work fine, I have used ‘em, but those darn CCI’s just ‘keep on tickin’!!

Wanted to purchase the new .17WSM that Savage and Winchester developed. Savage finally came out with the fluted bolt action I was waiting for. Super flat out to 300 yards. Only problem, no ammo again.
I refuse to buy a .17HMR. I have seen too many of those that would shoot only a certain grain bullet. If you are going to be in my stable you are going shoot and shoot well what ever I feed you.
Another advantage of holding physical gold is that it disappears from your estate.
Very helpful, thank you.
