I know it’s not a great deal, but a neat pack!

CCI SV coated in a red/green polymer (or something). Should be nice to reduce fouling. .066 cpr.

Ammo.... .22 in particular, is always a good investment. You truly can't go wrong. It's pretty much an investment. I suggest you treat it as a commodity and buy and hold (what you don't use). It will hold its value very well over time. Bonus is it's a hedge against evil and tyranny.

Even in good times it is treated as currency in some barter situations. Think how that might improve (in your favor) in bad times.

What's the downside?

I agree with all your points, except the hedge against tyranny. Unless you're ridding the nation of Secret Squirrels, .22 won't do much against tyrants, I suspect.

Even so, hoovering up a thousand rounds of ammo for fifty bucks is a pleasant feeling.

Hedge against tyranny wasnt about shooting folks with .22.

Tyranny takes many forms and paths. One path is all about destroying currency (in our case, the almighty dollar). If we have a solid system of alternative "currency", we can continue with another form of market based economy and thus stave off delay or avoid altogether the ravages of tyranny. Second order effect.

Don't see things as they are. Survival requires us to see things as they may be/become.

.22 ammo is an almost perfect substitute for cash if and when cash becomes defunct.

I may just have to buy a couple of boxes.

They are SO cute.

Hmm, a number of times in history, a suppressed .22 has made a HUGE change in the course of events.

They would make great stocking stuffers.

Y2K????

...cause dear, even at less than 5 cpr I can't afford 20K.

Magnumite · Oct 31, 2017

You must not be thinking of the liberator scenario. A .22 will do quite well in shooting some blue Helmet or other tyrants to kill them and take their arms. A .22 is a very fine urban guerrilla weapon that is very accurate and quiet. A .22 rifle fired from several feet back from a window or from inside a van on a busy city street will hardly be noticed at the bullet impact site.

Agreed. Especially suppressed.

I just ordered 6 boxes and got free shipping. Hope the ammo is good stuff.

Jimbob2.0 · Nov 26, 2017

Obviously we are back to cheap .22 (time to buy modestly over time to ensure stocks are kept high)

But really has it come to this?

(EDIT APPARENTLY I AM LAST TO KNOW ABOUT THIS! Ordered 2 one for me and one for a stocking stuffer for my gun loving old man!)

I wouldn't call the prices 'cheap' but 'less expensive'. I have bulk packs on my ammo shelf that were $11.00 at Walmart and I remember bitchin' when the price went up to $14. That's cheap.

This weekend I had a $20 off coupon from Dick's, and they had 500 round bricks of Blazer for $24.95, plus these were buy 1, get the second one for half off. I ended up walking out of there with 6 boxes (3000 rounds) for $98 for 3 cents a round. I've only been in the hobby for a couple of years, but that is the best deal I've scored.

Any good deal on subsonic rounds?
