Plus $12 shipping. WalMart had 222 rounds for $11.



222 rounds of federal automatch?

Usually the shipping covers a bunch of boxes of ammo. It has when I buy
on line, and I don't have to deal with walmart.

'Dealing with WalMart'?

I go to the ammo counter, say hello to Juan, and he tells me if
they've gotten any .22 in - or 9mm or .45 in aluminum cases. The other
day they had both. The aluminum cased .45 was $14.75 a box of 50. Not
bad.

Once I've picked out what I want, I pay Juan, wish him a good day, and
I'm on my way.

'Dealing with WalMart' is actually a nice experience. Sometimes Dee, a
very nice Afro-American lady, is working the counter. She also knows
what I'm interested in, always has a nice smile, and is very pleasant
to work with.



So, 222 rounds of Federal Automatch for $11 at WalMart?

No, it was Remington 22 Golden Bullet, a great round for target or
rabbit shooting. It actually has a greater muzzle velocity and energy
than that Federal stuff. I noticed in the comments that one guy had
bought two boxes for $49 with shipping. That comes to about
7.5cents/round, which is still half again as pricey as the WalMart
stuff - and you don't get to deal with friendly people!

Really a good deal.


Oh. So the product you offered up as a comparison was not the same
product, so therefore the comparison really isn't valid, is it?

Over the holidays, I bought some hundreds of Federal .223 ammo at .27 a
round, including shipping. Brass casing, FMJ, decent ammo. My neighbor
with the new Mini 14 bought the same ammo at Walmart for more than .40 a
round. I guess you could have bought the TULA steel ammo Walmart sells
for less, and claimed you got a better buy. Not the same as the Federal
ammo, but, hey, what the hell.

On one of the discussion boards I frequent, one devoted to high-cap semi
auto rifles in .22LR, Remington ammo is referred to as "Thunderduds" for
these rifles because of many FTFs. Oh, and sometimes the bullets fall
out of the casings. Really. But ammo is ammo, right?


Yup. Can't use the Tula stuff at my range. So one .22 is the same as
another, unless I got to the real 'match grade' - like Tenex at fifty
cents a round.
