Re: Cheaper to shoot my AK than my 22LR
Years ago Wallyworld sold a "3 lb bucket of bullets". .22lr I bought about 15 of them. They were cheap, like $5.00 each. Remington ammo. I still have about 8 buckets.
Last year I picked up an H&R Handi Rifle chambered in .500 S&W. Talk about expensive ammo!! A 20 round box of Winchester is $69.00. I found Selwayarmory.com and have been getting it there for $33.99 for a box of 20. The last time I had it at the range I cracked the stock. The recoil from 400 grain rounds was too much for that walnut. Called H&R and had a new laminated stock and matching forearm in 3 days. Awesome customer service!!
I don't own any ARs or AKs. Really don't want any. I do have 3 1911's and a Walther and my Kel Tec's.
I just did some quick math and came up with I spent more money on ammo last year then I did on groceries....
