Cost of FMJ vs Hollow Point

[JKwock]

Just came back from Walmart and FMJ was almost twice the price of Hollow Points. I thought FMJ was suppose to be cheaper. The Hollow Points were sold in bulk though. 333rds, 525rds vs FMJ 100rds

I'm guessing this is in .22lr ammo looking at the package quantities you're posting - Winchester, RGB? FMJ is cheaper in the other calibers - 9mm, .40, .45, etc - as opposed to JHP.

Maybe you saw 22 magnums? Bulk stuff is generally cheap compared to more premium rimfire ammo.

I bought Winchester .22lr, and Remington .22lr in bulk and bought CCI in 100 rounds. Winchester 333rds for $11.47, Remington 525rds for $18.97 THEN FMJ CCI for $6.47 for 100 rds. Go figure?

[shock]

cci = premium

The CCIs are far superior to both the winchester and Remington in terms of quality and reliability. That superiority comes with a higher pricetag. The CCIs are also higher velocity if i'm not mistaken.

Got it. Thats all Walmart had so its better than paying range ammo prices.

He's talking about .22lr, not exactly a home defense round unless it happens to be the only thing you have.
