$27.50 for 550 rounds.
Ill try to get out to the Wal-Mart while Im here in rural KY and check .22 prices, will post here.
Local Ranch supply has .22 LR for about 3 cents per round, but it is LEAD bullets—no copper jacket—and is made in MEXICO.
Leaves the barrel too dirty. I need .22 LR—copper jacketed—Hollow Point. Found it available at Wal Mart for 5.2 cents per round.
There is no copper jacketed .22 rimfire, although I did see Aguilla prototypes some years ago at the Shot Show. The “copper” is plated onto lead HV rimfires. 17s and .22 magnums are jacketed.
Copper Plated...
Different from Copper Jacketed.
As long as the lead is totally
Encapsulated...imgud.
I’d love to see 9mm and 5.56mm to make similar drops.
I have a steel target that is rated for .22. I shot it with my .17 hmr and it punched hole right through the 1/4” thick steel.

Three cents a round is an interesting figure.
Do you know where you saw it at that price? I have seen it on line as low as 3.6 cents a round.
Should be Aquila, not Aquilla. Sorry.
You havent lived unless youve hunted ground squirrels with .17HMR. Almost as much fun as bouncing bunnies at 100 yards. ;-)
Can’t you just buy out of state?
Everyone with a relative or will to travel will be going outside of California for ammo, the only ones not affected will be the criminals, but that's who the dems represent.
Glad I bought 50,000 rounds years ago before the shortage.
Can’t go over the border and bring it back. Can buy online, but it must be shipped to an ammo dealer, not to your home.
Our 2A in CA is whatever they want it to be.
Hmm, I wonder what FedEx's policy is regarding "will call" pickup at storefront locations? If they'll let anyone pick up, regardless of delivery location vs. addressee's state of residence, then this ban won't work at all.
Around 1960, my best friend and I roamed the woods etc. with .22 rifles. I am not sure how he afforded it as his family was not wealthy but Royce had a Marlin model 39.
The best I could do was a Remington model 514 single shot. Sometimes I would borrow my Brother’s model 513 which was a really fine rifle, extremely accurate.
Shorts, Longs, and LR were 55 cents, 65 and 75 respectively. I think they stayed that same price most of my pre-teen and teen years. That was probably higher adjusted for inflation than they are now. We could not afford to shoot a lot.
Now Royce had a good thing going. If he killed a young good looking coon, he would take it to a Black guy who would always give him 75 cents for one. That was higher than chicken so it was a good deal. He would then buy a box of LR.
There, fixed it.
You mean its ILLEGAL to bring legally purchased ammo into California??
Isn’t there something in the Constitution about states not being able to regulate free trade between the states?
Yes, it will be illegal, though an out of state seller can ship it to a CA approved ammo vendor for you to pick up.
Yes, this flies in the face of the constitution.
