I don't "stock up" on ammo. Don't use it.


Had an uncle that would stock up his favorite beer when it went on sale.




I have a lifetime supply. There's about a half a can left of my 5mm


Sheridan air rifle pellets. It held 500 rounds when I got it about 50


years ago.




My Crossman ammo dried up. Good target and varmint pistol.

Mice.


Crosman makes great stuff anymore. their .177 "Cock and pull" pellet rifles hit just as hard as a .22.



I had a Ruger .177 pellet rifle but recently gave it to my son-in-law.
It shoots lead pellets at a muzzle velocity of 1200 fps and the "high
velocity" type pellets at 1400 fps. When fired, it is louder than my
..22LR rifle (also a Ruger).
