Tariffs:Sourcing 22LR ammo for spring gophers

[Craig0ry]

Terminal effects are somewhat pointless when the stuff isn't accurate enough to make consistent hits. For gophers, ammo has to be both, terminally effective AND accurate enough to consistently go where it is aimed.

I guess I should preference accuracy is subjective to the task at hand also, This is the PMC ammo at 50 yards, Average is a .823" group, Would I consider that accurate ammo? Not really... You know what, for hypervelocity ammo, I guess I would. Is it enough for minute of gopher and to make consistent hits, I think so

What a surprise ... the tariffist was only joshing.

I doubt you'll see prices that are fair, meaning all brands regardless of country of origin will be priced higher.

There's no way a retailer will offer a European brand of 22 like the S&B for $6 while an equivalent USA brand like Blazer sits next to it at $9

now that you mention S&B
S&B Cdn for $.11 pc is pretty good, same vendor has Blazer at $.08

All the good stuff is European. Eley, SK, Lapua etc.

I'd include RWS on the top shelf
