Targetsports.com has .22lr in stock just got a email for weekly ammo deals from them. $8.50 a box lead free rounds.
Targetsports.com is one of "those stores" in terms of price. I generally associate them with folks who's number one concern is getting what they want, when they want it, as opposed to at an affordable price. There's a few web sites like that. Their like Gunbroker or Armslist. There is a brand of 22 that my Savage ,10-shot 50 yd groups in the .4's and it's not Eley or some other big name. It's also not readily available. When you can find it, it's not cheap. About $7.50/box. It sold for $4.50 this time last year. If you want something specific these days as opposed to 525 Bulk packs, then you have to pay, or spend the remainder of the shooting season hunting for a box here and there at pre-scalping prices. Two days ago, I ordered a brick of Remington Gold Bullet Bulk from Cabelas with free shipping to the nearest store for $2.30/box of 50. If you sort it by weight and again by rim thickness, my rifle shoots 10-shot groups at 50 yds into a .6 inch hole. Unsorted = 3-4 inches. I trade my time spent sorting for money. At least it's down in my air conditioned man cave, listening to what I like on the stereo. You can do worse with your time. Don't get me wrong. If I could have gotten the same number of extra hours from work, that I spent sorting, I could have bought a case of Eley Black Box Match.
My obsession with accuracy in my 22 is because next year, I hope to have gotten good enough with it to shoot in my local club's rimfire league.
