$85.00 for a brick of .22 ammo? are you out of your mind?
I paid $65 per brick for a case (with shipping) a few weeks ago.
Of course, that was for match subsonic.
I was looking at the .223 and 5.56 prices.
A metric ton of powder. That’s for someone with a pretty serious reloading habit. 🙂
.223 price is pretty reasonable; less than twice what they are charging for the 22 LR. One of the two prices is absurd, I think.
The .22 comes out to be, if my math is right, 5.8 cents per round. PLUS shipping.
I get $.17 per round plus shipping.
Been picking up bricks at Midway for $.06 per round plus shipping.
I’ve been looking at the Wolf Gold, brass, boxer primed – 29.6 cents per round shipped from SGAmmo.

Federal at 35 cents may be better, but for plinking, how much better?
It looks like it’s also on stripper clips, which tends to increase cost and weight. Still, it does make reloading mags MUCH faster…
When I started shooting, I bought a 9mm handgun instead of a .45 or .40 because I could shoot twice as much at a practice for a given pile of dolalrs spent on ammo.
And the price was less per round for 9mm than this asking price for .22LR.
I will continue shooting my old milk cartons of Remington Golden Hornets and Federal dirty .22LR until I’ve used them all up. They only cost $15/1000 in 2008, not $85.
Still, good to know one can buy a brick of .22 again.
