Being a plinker, I watch for 22lr buys. Picked up 4000 rounds of Federal lead heads, 40gr last fall for $.04 per round. It is out there but good buys are few and far between. I’m looking for Red Army 7.62x25 to arrive at Widener’s.
BTW, I reload 12 and 20 gauge shells. I pick up all the spent rounds I can handle at the skeet ranges, locally. I don’t bother with bird shot, usually slugs I cast ot buckshot.
I have been focused on 10mm auto, .357 mag, .460 rowland and .300 win mag this winter. I am well provisioned in these calibers. I need to get going on some .308 and 5.56 too. Just ordered 250 168 grain hornady Amax bullets this weekend from midway for a really good price.
I’m getting molds for my .22 & .25 air rifles, them I can make all the pellets I want for next to nothing
4 cents a round is only $2 a box. You should have borrowed, begged or stole enough money to but all they had. You could have easily sold it for twice what you paid and probably could have sold it for $5 a box or more.
I had hoped I would win the last East Tn Friends of the NRA drawing. One of the items was 11,100 rounds (50 boxes at 222 rounds per box) of 22LR. If I had won, I was going to take some of it to the next Appleseed shoot in Sevierville and give it to anyone who was in need.
I started out loading for shotgun 25 years ago but rifles are my real passion. I have a Remington Sendero in .300 Win mag with a Vortex viper on it. I could spend all day every day loading up ammo and shooting it through that thing.
Specifically, 15% are planning for Obama's alphabet soup of executive agencies to take away the manufacured ammo supply.
sounds like an great idea. What do you primarily do with your pellet rifles? hunt? targets? prep?
Yep. If we ever experience another ammo shortage, I’m not even going to notice.
I have maybe 15 or 20 pellet guns. Most of them inexpensive but a few nice ones including a Diana model 48 side lever.
Most of mine are .177 and a few .22. The pellets are cheap enough that I have accumulated more than I will ever use.
The ones I have are fine for small game. Although some models will kill a buffalo, I see no real reason to own one. I will use powder burners for anything above squirrels and rabbits.
I don’t reload but I’d love to find a reloader who could load some .54 cal muzzle loader round ball into 28 ga shotgun shells. For some reason 28ga slug loads nearly don’t exist.
All the above. I have a Hatsan AT44-10QE Long in .25 [p recharged pneumatic] shoots at 3500PSI & can drop a deer at 150 yards [if I need to], Benjamin Trail Nitro Piston [gas spring] in .22, Benjamin Model 392 [multi pump] in .22 with a Williams 64 rear peep sight & is my main small game rifle, a Crosman 1322C in .22 a smaller multi pump based on a pistol with a carbine stock [this one is gonna get a major rebuild in the near future with a steel breech, with a 18 inch barrel & an air stripper & new grips & stock], a Crosman 800X [Quest] in .22 an old fashioned spring piston, a Hatsan Alpha Striker Youth in .177 also an old fashioned springer. And when the spring finally gets here I’ll get to build my range in distances from 10 yards to 90 yards with an uphill grade from the 50 yard mark & back.
I was also on the 2013 Season of American Airgunner tv series [seen on the Pursuit tv channel & youtube] I lost to folks who get to shoot a year long.
Just remember Lewis & Clark used an air rifle in their journey & the first repeater rifle used in battle was an air rifle, used by the Belgium against Naploian & he declared that anyone caught with one was to be immediately killed on sight. there is a copy of it in the NRA mueasem. And when all your powder ammo is gone, us air gunners will still be going strong. And yes there are air guns that can be used on bison,bear,moose,elk,deer & any other game you can think of.
Air Guns?
Just wait till bo declares air to be restricted to “Americans in Waiting”
Sorry.
I have a couple of Crosman 1377s. One dates back to the early 80s. The other one I bought recently when Wal-Mart closed them out for $25 each. I actually bought two of the newer ones but gave one to my 10 year old grand son.
I still have one of the old carbine stocks for the early one but haven’t seen it in years. The new ones are basically the same as the early ones except the old one has a cover over the breech while the new one has just a brass bolt with open breech area.
I did notice the new one said: “made in USA with some foreign parts. It seems just as good as the old one.
Your conversion of the .22 model is very common. I have never done one but it seems everyone on a forum I post on have done one.
The reason being is that the breech used has a bed tendency to not seat well over time, the barrel is too short of any real distance shooting & the air stripper acts like a brake & a bit of a suppressor, & able to mount some sort of optic on it, I still planning to keep some sort of peep sight on mine though.
I haven't seen cheap commie spam cans of Tok for years. That PRVI for $16.95 isn't bad, though.
