    Shot a box of 50 at the range yesterday through my M&P 22 pistol. Flawless so far,and lots of snap too.

      Check the lot number then Google it. Some of that stuff was recalled for possible double charges.

Farmers would pay us $0.10 per, there were so many ruining their fields. We could cover the cost of the ammo on a slow day!
        hah! I used to do the same mods... also from Longs, but in California.

          When I moved to a new house six months ago I discovered a case of Winchester Wildcat 22 in a holiday cabinet when cleaning out the garage. It still had the price tag of $125.

          My friends have been buying my beer after plinking for past couple of months.

            I used to buy gun stuff at Target all the time. They had everything I needed at an affordable price.

            Bricks of .22, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, Shotgun Shells, Clays, Cleaning supplies.

              The Ace Hardware in Truckee sells guns and ammo. Or they did last year at least.

                Winchester Super-X was $9.99 for 500 rounds. I use to buy a brick as often as I bought toothpaste. You threw one or two in your cart and didn't think twice about it.

                    I have a brick of it as well. And probably the same age. I went to shoot some and it was so inconsistent. Every shot sounded different.
