WTF. how has lead itself become more expensive than rimfire???? last summer i bought a 500 tin of h&n FTS for $8or$9 and today i paid $8 for 200. no wonder my burners are neglected . _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 4:29 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I paid € 9,- for 500 H&N Baracuda. Those are expensive. I Pay € 10,- for 200 .22 lr. Might have a lot to do with the fact that they're being produced a bit closer to home though. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 5:26 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho last i looked a 500 brick of .22 lr remington was around $12. some of these pellets are the same as .17hmr. if not more. so why don't i yet have a .17hmr . _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 7:09 pm kanyon Silver Status Member Joined: 09 Aug 2008 Posts: 1582 Location: New Zealand All the ways over here we pay.. .177 Preditors...$20 200 tin .22 Preditors....$25 200 tin .22 Eunjins 28gr....$20 120 tin Gamo's are around $8-$10 a tin most good quility pellets are around $20 a tin 500 brick of .22 rimfires are $60   Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 8:19 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho kanyon wrote: All the ways over here we pay.. .177 Preditors...$20 200 tin .22 Preditors....$25 200 tin .22 Eunjins 28gr....$20 120 tin Gamo's are around $8-$10 a tin most good quility pellets are around $20 a tin 500 brick of .22 rimfires are $60 HOLY SH$T!!! what am i bitchng at!!! i'm stuck in the 1980's i guess . i bought EJ's today $6.99/tin. my preds are $13 (plus shipping). you pay for lead what i pay for 9mm and 12ga target ammo. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 12:10 am Jaxom Senior Member Joined: 06 Aug 2008 Posts: 927 Would this be a good time to mention that I bought 4 bricks of .22lr thunderbolts at .99 a brick?

They had just opened and I stopped by after work. Funny here I am at 1am walking out of the store with 4000 rounds of .22lr's. That store has since been close and now is a super target...odd name for a store that never carried so much as a pellet gun! _________________ .22 2300kt Crosman Custom   Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 9:30 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Most medium-large or special centerfire are $1 a shot. I have had to stop shooting my super streak because .22 is so much more than .177. Now I can only shoot cheap .177s because the good ones cost too much. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
