Speaking of guns... what else would be a good buy for someone who has a 12-guage pump, a 410/.45 Circuit Judge (5-shot revolver rifle/shotgun), a Marlin 30-30 lever action..

and what else should I buy??

I am thinking for cheap practice ammo a 22- but that just seems too small... maybe handy to have for keeping the rodent population down - i would not be against tryingf some rabbit stew too....

What is bigger than a .22 but still has cheap ammo you you dont feel guilty about firing off a couple hundred rounds?

Nothing modern comes to mind, but you could buy an old Mosin Nagant and score some Soviet Bloc MilSup 7.62 x 54R ammo.

A Ruger 10-22 and several magazines. CCI's Stinger ammunition will do fine for serious work and you can practice and have fun with cheaper ammo. All .22 Long Rifle ammo will function through it flawlessly.

My advice is: a Ruger 10-22. It’s an absolutely essential, gots to have, no household should be without one, rifle.

Everyone should own a .22.

Anyone who does not own a Ruger 10/22 is not fully/properly armed.

I just found some 410 ammo at Walmart (during one of my rare visits there) at FIFTEEN DOLLARS FOR A BOX OF 25!!!, I don't know what prices are like elsewhere but for Kansas that is pretty damn steep!

I remember when I was a young lad, back in 2009 I could find the same box for like 6 bucks. O.M.G!

You could go to a .22 magnum, but I would get a regular .22 if you don’t have one now. You will use it.

Good luck FINDING that cheap .22lr...

Last Thurs. a.m. I spent almost an hour, in 20 degree weather, waiting outside, in a line waiting for Gander Mtn. to open.
They have always been the best around here for bulk ammo purchases.
There were 20+ people in front of me, and 40 or more behind me.
When they opened at 9 (the clerk told me a week b4 they recived ammo on Wed. stocked it that night)
When they opened, people RAN into that store straight to the ammo shelves.
Some grabbed baskets, and just swept the ammo off the shelves (.22 and .223)
They didnt even check the price.

This in a town beside the biggest army base in N.C....

I’ve got a Circuit Judge too. What a hoot to fire those big .45s and watch what damage they will do.

I just need a real live target to break into my house one night to see just how damaging they are.

As far as a cheap ammo to use that has some real killing power, use .22 magnums.

A quality .22 cal pellet rifle will work just fine and you can get 500 rounds for anywhere from $5 to $15......and you can practice in your basement too if you want.

Here's one of mine.....

I just purchased a Benjamin Discovery .22 PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) air rifle. Ammo is @ $12.50 per 500 pellets.

Amazing that these air rifles can be charged w 2,000 psi. Good for @ 20 - 25 shots per full charge.

I took it out yesterday w my honey and sighted it in.

Google it or the Benjamin Marauder.

Pyramyd Air has a wide variety of .22 and larger (.25, 9mm and even .45) air rifles that are cheap to shoot and very effective for varmints and keeping skills sharp.
