IDAHO: a great place to live and work. i bought 1000 rounds of .22 long rifle last weekend for and unheard of $75. and i had to drive close to LA to find it. never has a brick been more than $10-$12. THANKS OBAMA. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 4:32 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND sniper wrote: i bought 1000 rounds of .22 long rifle last weekend for and unheard of $75. and i had to drive close to LA to find it. never has a brick been more than $10-$12. THANKS OBAMA. I shouldn’t complain to much sniper 1000 rounds of .22L for £75 bucks is cheap, over here the same would be £300.00 about $500.00. But there again we don’t have the same size market as you.

And the US is one of (if not THE) the biggest spenders of lead and together with a bunch of other countries (including my own) have been doing a fair share of war the last couple of years. There's a crisis going on too. Might add those knob kreek dudes who are spending tons of ammo in just a couple of days as a lil' example. Yeah, airguns for the win. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 5:29 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho broommaster2000 wrote: By the way, leadprices tend to go up in times of war.

Enough to start your own little war (or clear of a zombie invasion). Rifles were "regulated" back then too, but mentality wasn't as crazy back then. I tell ya, it all went wrong in the 60's! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 7:25 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Sniper, I'm honestly thinking about NOT getting an airgun for the festivities this year. In all reality I'm not going to be shooting blue helmets with a D34. Really looking for a .308. When they come for my toys, they'll get the business end first. I guess the cost of a .22lr with bricks, and brick, and brick (did I mention CASES) of ammo is still low enough that I can stockpile 10,000rds of good stuff before SHTF. 10/22? _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I got 17,000 pellets so far, need at least 100,000 to consider myself "ready". And another 20,000 on hand to be shot. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Consider yourself ready for what Fritz?, to corner the market, start a local war or what. you've got me intrested now. I know that the british army as used 2000 tones of ammo in the last 6 months of the afghanistan war, but if the war finished or we all pulled out the lead prices would fall.
