Used to buy .22 by the bricks....all day fun. My Brother had a Marlin that he shot the darn barrel out of it.I shoot a lot of .22. Years ago, when ammo was plentiful I made a habit of buying a box or two every time I was in Walmart. At one point I had over 15000 rounds on hand. When things got crazy I still had plenty without having to search around for it. I now have some open space on my .22 shelf that needs filling. I happened to be in Walmart today and they had 1000 round boxes of Winchester for $67 so I picked a couple. For the life of me I can't remember what I used to pay for them. What did they cost four or five years ago?
I remember buying them for $9.99/500 on sale back almost 20 years ago. I was living in CA and they were toying with the idea of a $0.10 tax per round on all ammo, which was oppressive on normal ammo, but totally crazy on rimfire, so I made a habit of buying like you did. I've not had to sweat the rimfire shortages since.
This.......ammo prices didn't fluctuate that much because of political climate back in those days.A brick of utility grade .22 was $10 for years from the eighties up until probably 2000
I miss those days. I usto shoot an insane number of rounds weekly.A brick of utility grade .22 was $10 for years from the eighties up until probably 2000
Not a bad price today, But Thunderbolts being the worst garbage ever produced, they are only worth about a half cent, just to throw into the campfire to shake everyone up!

.22 Thunderbolts taught me how to properly deal with misfires and failures in a 10/22. I switched to CCI Stingers in a hurry. Was also always jealous of my cousin who had the old 25 round banana mags.
