I've been making a habit of going into Walmart once a week and buying a 550 brick of .22 LR. The European Starlings are making me use more than I should. There's a new pawn shop that's opened near my house and the lady who runs it gets me .223 FMJ for around $15 for a box of 25. Another avenue I've found that helps is the Classifieds in the local newspapers. I bought 500 rounds of .38 Super the other day for $30 dollars.
.38 Super? That's sort of a rare chambering isn't it? Or has it become more popular? I recall that years ago it was most popular south of the border given their stringent regulations banning the posession of any military chamberings. Do you shoot it out of a 1911 of some sort?
For just years and years you could buy bricks of loss leader .22s like Thunderbolts, Lightnings, Wildcats for just under 10 bucks. Then they nearly doubled in price overnight.
