I thought I had very little .22 rounds till I opened a box and found I had 1500 rounds I bought back around 1985.
I found a box of 500 purchased from Kmart for $9.95 in 1982. Haven’t had a failure yet.
When you read that someone was arrested and had a cache of 2,000 rounds of ammunition, 9 times out of 10 the “cache” ends up being four 500 round bricks of .22LR.
w00t...even better than found money!!! I just found 2000 rounds in a bag in garage, have several 1000 I bought during Obama 1. The 22 is a much better weapon than preppers want to admit and they will kill you. You just need to hit the target a little more accurately not just center mass. The 22 is so easily handled that accurate shots are much easer than with a 45 cal 1911.
