22 magnum price rant

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

I sold both my 22 magnum handgun and my 22 magnum varmint rifle a couple years ago, so this doesn't affect me personally.... but all I gotta say is
holy $£!] look at the price of 22 WMR ammo!

And this is at Walmart which normally has the best prices!!!

Yes, that's $30 for 50 rounds.

I'm used to paying that kind of a price for 45 ACP ammo, or 357 magnum, but not any rimfire cartridge!

And yes, I'm old and I hate change.

I'm sitting on a gold mine!

Manufacturers are too busy cranking out the popular calibers to waste time on slow movers such as 22 WMR and .410 shotgun.
Accordingly, the price is tied to availability.
Just think about trying to find .35 Remington or 16 gauge.

I was just at Walmart and that price is for the 125 round pack which is a good deal.

Haven't seen any 35 in forever, but do see some 16 from time to time. One round I see almost all the time is 28 gauge. Hmm.

You're missing the point, my friend. This is TARGET ammo, which means it hits the target each and every time you shoot it.

Aren't you willing to pay a little more for 100% hits and kills?

They are in the wrong spot and wrong price. Look at the tag. The 125 round box for that price was for varmints.

Ah yep it does say 125 on the card. Someone put those in the wrong place OP.

Yes, I have shied away from .35 Marlin lever guns due to the ammo. Never had a .35 before, I don't reload now, but the itch to get something funky hit me, until the price hit me harder on the ammo!!!
