400 round brick?

[morrcarr67]

So I bought a brick of Federal American Eagle today and didn't pay to much attention to it but they are now only 400 rounds.

When did that happen?

[PoorRichRichard]

I did the same thing last year... Sneaky bastards. On the bright side, it's much better quality ammo than the Federal blue box stuff IMO.

[morrcarr67]

Well I guess I should just be happy to get some.

Same game the packaged food industry uses, keep the price close to the same, but reduce the weight. Remember when a pound of coffee was a pound of coffee, not 14 then 12 ounces?

The last time I bought some(last year) they had both 500 & 400 packs haha. Have to be careful there. I think Palmetto sold both too. Great ammo, though.

Where were you lucky enough to find AE .22
that's one of a few ammunitions that cycles through my marly 795

I used to buy the 40 round boxes and 400 round brick of American Eagle 10+ years ago when the Federal bulk was sold out - it has been around forever. It isn't new like those 333 round and 325 round bulk packs. Of course it was like $8 back then.

Go to the store and buy a 1/2-gallon of ice-cream and report back how much you got.

Seriously, B&J or Hagen Daaz pints are now $5 each, so if I buy one for the wife and I (both for me really), that's $10. Have to wait for sale days.

Happily sitting on a lot of CCI minimags right now, but will be interesting when I run out and will have to start scrounging for 22lr. Hoping stock will be back in full by then. Unbelievable.

I think the red/black boxes of federal American eagle 40gr lead round nose have always been 400 round bricks. I remember seeing the price and though it was a good deal for a brick to only see that it was only 400 rounds instead of 500 upon closer inspection.

[MongooseV8]

Yeah they have been 40/box 400/brick as far back as I can recall.

The Federal AE has been packed in 40 round boxes for years.

Cabela's in Sidney NE.

I'm a truck driver and get out from behind the Iron Curtain all the time. Most of my guns and ammo are bought in Free America.

I must be a bit older than you. I'm still working on old stock when it comes to this ammo.

Here is my last brick of AE .22. From 7/89 and my newest one from last week.
