    everytime I went to the gunshop I thought to myself "low on .22 better pick up a brick".
    When I finally got around to checking, I had 8000 rounds.
    I think I'm good for a little while.
    Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

    Gagnons just got in a stack of Winchester 222 bulk packs - they were unpacking them at lunch 2 hours ago...

    The Federal 525 bulk packs and American Eagle shoot wonderfully in my 10/22 and are copper plated. Not too hard to find at Canadian tire every now and then. Winchester wildcat and especially super-x HV is utter garbage. Was getting 30-40% failure to fire on clean hard primer strikes. The Winchester 222/333/555 bulk packs are OK. Very few misfires and widely available at rural Canadian Tires on the outskirts of Ottawa. Copper plating is poorly done and powder is a bit dirtier than I expected which is why I'd rate it as OK at best.

    Though, when LeBaron has CCI mini mags for $7.09, it can't be beat.
