The good old days when .22lr was $6.99 a brick on sale...
My wife and I used to go to the indoor range once a week and the outdoor range once a week.
I'd go on Saturday and Sunday to the outdoor range & couple times a week to the indoor range.
We'd go through a couple of bricks (500 rounds)each every week.Sometimes double that.
When K mart (tells you how long ago this was eh?) or Dicks or anyone else would have .22lr on sale, we'd each pick up 10 bricks. Quite often we'd go back for seconds or thirds - or fourths.
I'd normally have between 50 and 60 thousand rounds on hand.
At work one day, a coworker commented on a news report where the cops had discovered a "Cache of 1000 rounds of ammunition" and said "Who needs that much ammunition"?
He about pooped when I told him I usually have ten to fifty times that at home all the time & we bought that much because it goes fast when you go out to shoot.
