Enough .22LR?

Finding and buying .22lr Has become an obsession, a sport, a hobby, a game, and a competition.

5k rounds of HiV .22lr and 500 rounds of .22 subsoninc (22 Short and or 22l/22lr) on-hand (stashed) would make me feel comfortable for now. I wouldn't hesitate to add to the stash though.

I'd say 25,000 or 30,000 rounds. I have never, ever owned that much in my entire lifetime. I remember my grandpa buying me a brick of remington thunderbolt and it lasting all summer long and into fall/winter.

I started buying .22lr before the prices started going up. Well, just after. I saw the small price increases, read about increases in ore prices and decided it was better to spend money when I had it than to wait until I was retired and wouldn't have a decent income.

I started putting aside $20 every paycheck to get what I could when they started charging $8.50 for a brick of 550. I stopped when the prices hit $10 - which was before there was any shortage. Since the shortage, I haven't bought ANY .22lr ammo, so I don't feel that I've contributed to it.

I have often shot 1K rounds on a Saturday when I'd go out with my boys and maybe one or two of their buddies, so I know that ammo doesn't last near as long as people think. although, I'd hate to have a reporter write about what the cops would find in my home and storage building if I ever wound up in the papers for overdue parking tickets.

Now, although all of my boys are on their own and far away, I have about 40K rounds of .22lr and have no intention of ever buying more. I have sold a few bricks to friends that were actual shooters and couldn't find any, but I figure I have enough to last me and my wife through all of the rest of my work life and eventual retirement. But if I do run out, I think that ammo will be back on the shelves and at lower prices than they are now.

Just wish the madness would subside, spring approaches....

Heck, with only a single 15-22 and a single Walther P22 we can easily knock out 500 rounds in a couple of hours... at that rate, the stash I have might not last the year. And people think I've overdone it.

Not a chance. Keep buying till you got nowhere to put it.
