i was wondering the difference in stingers that were around earlier for 14 cents or so a round. they seem to go faster according to the fps number. im guessing that's interesting to people hunting with them, but does it matter to a target shooter or plinker?

The faster it goes, the flatter the trajectory, and the rounds that are both high speed and high weight have less wind influence. But for the most part target accuracy is driven by load consistency, and a lot of target shooters like subsonic for being quieter, and not introducing the sonic influence which can be temperature sensitive. That all said, unless you are competition shooting, I look for clean and reliable. Crappy bulk packs in most .22 rifles is more than enough to do things like appleseed. But yeah, for hunting, I would always reach for the heavy / hot load unless there was a noise issue in which case I would reach for one of the heavy subsonics like aguila sss.

I had a 500 brick of the recent Remington's ship from Cabelas on the 6th, so yeah they are shipping.

Not to drag on a sore subject, but I find it quite ironic that Cabelas would turn over info on someone to the HLS for buying a couple bricks of .22, but the Flippers/Hoarders that stand in line at Walmart/Turners/Big5 everyday at 7am don't receive a visit from a suit & a badge. Hell, it's likely these flippers are on a first name basis with their local store. For most of us, ordering online is the only way to secure .22 ammo without getting gouged. I can never find it otherwise.

BTW, CCI Blazers are still up at Cabelas as of 4:26pm.

thanks inbox! i had to good appleseed. I'm assuming you mean crappy bulk is good enough to do the appleseed training events i found online.

Pretty sure the reference to Cabela's reporting their sales to HLS was tongue-in-cheek. But then one never knows these days.

Yup, and they are highly recommended. You won't find a better first course in precision marksmanship, and it is dirt cheap. There is a subforum here, a dedicated forum for the organization, and several people here that are familiar. If it looks confusing or you need a guide to get you going, PM just about anybody involved and they will point you in the right direction. Even if you don't have the right gear, somebody will get you squared away.

Did anyone else get a 5 Hour Energy drink with their Cabela's order today?

It says Complementary!

What?! I had 2 orders in 2 weeks ago and didn't get any.

Yeah, if that were serious, that would be news being blasted across every gun blog and right wing news site. Short of drop shipping to the white house with a special message in the gift options, I don't think there is anything you could order off Cabela's that would get you reported to HLS.

[HomeLandSecurityRifle]

Gotcha! Crisis averted, blood pressure returning to normal.... haha. Thanks for the clarification, fella's!


CCI Blazer's still up on Cabela's as of 4:45pm, perfect timing for those that work all day and get to come home to ammo in stock...

Stinger does not fit all chambers especially match type, its longer. Ruger says don't use it in 10/22, actual speed is lower than advertised.Anyone can make hot round ever moran knows that.At that speed they need longer barrels to be stabilized so short barrel pistol is not the best option.In longer barrel I measured it to be 5% drop in speed and pistol 3.5 inch barrel was 1033 fps.

Curious to see if anyone bought anything from here that looks like a good price and was in stock a few hours ago. but the question is how much they charge for shipping?

Remington Golden Bullets are back up (50 rounds). Keep them in your cart for a (later) big buy.
