Crate of 22 ammo

[pc9]

So had a few empty crates siting around and wanted to see what would fit.
Turns out it will hold 16 value boxes of Federal 22.
I think I will seal it up and save it for a rainy day.

So you're the reason I can't find any .22LR!

 

[Rutter]

This is a rainy day!

But that is a great fit now only if I can fill my empty crates with .22.....

I had about 3 cases I bought years ago before the shortage

I need to start ammo hoarding

I find shooting ammo to be more fun than hoarding it...but that is just me. Some folks like to collect stuff and sit in their dens and "look" at it. No criticism intended, just a comment on your comment.

it's pretty addicting, i almost enjoy looking at my stash more then shooting! i was at lebarons yesterday and almost bought a case of win 222 packs just to have a big flat case of 22's lol.

Aw crap, that's not fair!!! That Federal bulk stuff is great, never had any problems with it in any of my guns. Could you please tell me where you got it? They stopped carrying it where I used to get it.

I hate you now.

Just kidding, it's only a mild envy with a light wash of tears. I used to shoot that much of that ammo in a fortnight sometimes, pretty hard to stockpile for that.

Or another point of view is to buy a truck load of it when the price is right. I've never run out of .22cal and I shoot as much as I want ,when i want. Its also a valuable trading commodity right now

Hard to shoot without buying. I fully support this. I don't have a regular schedule of hitting the range so I never want to be low on ammo when the opportunity to shoot presents itself.

It's interesting that we used to have a wooden case of Russian 22 ammo. Don't remember if it was in a spam can, but the case contained around 6000 or 7000 rounds.

Really I have never seen that.
It would be nice if we could get more.

It was many years ago. Russian steel cased 22 ammo. However the stuff that was imported was really variable in quality (we might have gotten some in the US, at a time when it was OK to export it without permits, ie, before 2002). Some was the absolutely worst ammo ever. Surplus that wasn't stored properly. Yet other Russian steel cased ammo was match quality.
