That's 7,700 rounds. You need more.

.22 is the best all around cartridge in existence.

it is easier to carry 50 rounds of .22 or 45ACP in your pocket if you are on the move?

No but depending on where you get it they usually have a flat $5 shipping rate

If you need an RPG, Abrams class tank, or .22LR ammo TTT is your man.

I think a .22 in the ear canal would have plenty of knockdown power.

Sprint 50 yds and make that shot in couple seconds before sprinting 50 more and try and repeat. Get back to me then. A 17 would be better suited. I know they perform better on gators from a distance where 22 bounce off.

That was as of today.


Academy in Covington had plenty around lunchtime. But it was an odd CCI "Segmented Hollow Point" kind I wasn't sure about.

In the modern era of 15 to 30 round magazines being the standard, shot placement is so low on most people's priority list that it is shameful.



Ultimately, the only 2 things that matter in a gunfight are:

1. Getting off a shot

2. Placing that shot well

1 hit with a .22LR is worth any number of misses with .357 magnum or 7.62mm NATO.

You are correct as of a few minutes ago they had about 20 boxes of CCI @ $6.99 a box. Limit 2. I picked them up and will see how they do. At that price it's almost the same as shooting the AR.

My local FFL is nice enough to hold up to 5 bricks for me if I ask.

$6.99 for CCI...that's a steal if mini mags...they usually run $7.49 at Academy...

Be very careful...Academy has been getting in .22Long and people are picking it up thinking it's .22 long rifle...

...Not all .22's can chamber/cycle a .22 long...most older guns...bolt guns and tube mags can...but most modern magazine rifles will not cycle the .22long

Why do want .22?

That's an obsolete round, you can't hit a deer at 1,000 yards with that crap.
