Howdy folks. I was at the great and wonderful Wal-Mart doing some ammo shopping today. I came across some .22 Short and had to act. I bought 50 rounds of the Remington High Velocity 29 gr solid point. I was amazed at the size of these little buggers and considering it's not too common $3.00 (including tax) seemed like a good price. I've never fired it before, let alone seen it in person so when I go to the range next, I'll be truly happy. *side note* My J.C. Higgins Single Shot is good to go. It will take .22 Short, Long, and LR. Hair trigger and accurate as heck even though it's older than me. Good stuff.
Now on to 9mm: I called my local range, Iron Sights today and asked them how much for 100 of their 9mm reloads (cheaper). They said it was $10.50 for only 50 rounds. I know that they are ammo price gougers (but when they have a sale on their guns, we get a pretty good bargain) so I decide to go to Wally World. I found the classic 100 rnd Winchester White box, the 115gr FMJ el cheapo for $16.00 (including tax) and a box of 50 115gr FMJ Blazer Brass for $7.00 (including tax). I've heard that Blazer is junk but I figured what the hey, I'll see for myself.
On a side note, I've yet to give THR a range report for my JC Higgins model 103 and my Ruger P89 because every time I go to the range, my range buddy and I usually put about half of the ammo that we bring into 1 target (but we're not just blasting away, we just don't like to change targets). I'll try to give you a range report when we go to the range tonight or tomorrow night.
I just felt like telling THR about my happy trip to Wal-Mart...but I do have one question. How does the .22 Short differ from the .22 LR aside from the obvious size? I know next to nothing about this round so I ask that you educate me on this magical round.
