Wow. A bid of $10 per box +shipping is not enough.

    For all the great guns you post pictures of I don't recall you posting any pictures of 22's.

    But I am certain you are on the hunt for 22LR ammo!

    [Information added 3/16/2013 11:53:09 PM]
    2500rds Federal 22LR Game Shok #12 Lead Shot *Factory Sealed Case*

    The product code of 716 means its #12 shot cartridges. Not sure what I would do with that many except go to a rat killing at a chicken house.

    Believe it or not but a 500 rd brick of those sold for $89(Midway) last year so 2500 would go for $445 at last years prices.


    Anyone ever shoot bumble bees with these? its fun[:D][:D]

    IIRC he posted some recently on a thread about centerfire/rimfire pairs.

    It was a pretty cool thread. Here it is:

    I have a number of 22 LR firearms and I am set for the time being on ammo. I am just interested in this situation and how it's playing out.

    I didn't notice the ammo was shot. Maybe wrong box? Wrong photo? Seems the auction was for regular ball ammo.

    He listed it as simply 22LR and people started to bid.

    Then he adds in that it is #12 shot almost 9 hours later. If someone had placed a bid thinking it was 22LR with an auto bid...they would have been ticked to win that.

    Check out the number on the box; 716, that is the federal ammo number for 22 Shot cartridges.

    The guy is selling a case of 2500 rds of Federal Game-shok 22Lr "Shot" cartridges filled with #12 shot............Its rat shot and a lot of it[:)]

    You'd pretty much have to pay me to take the 22lr shot loads off your hands. No use for it. Barely scratches a label on a bottle at 5 yards out of a rifle.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I say let the Gougers keep the Ammo,Remember whan You could not find Primers and They tried to gouge Us then?What happened? Most were stuck with the Primers when they were available again because They could not even sell Them at cost due to the Hazmat charge.
    The same thing will happen with Ammo when it will be cheaper to buy from the local Gun Shop or wal-Mart.

    I hate to admit it, Doc, but I paid $10 for a box of .22 birdshot about 2 years ago to shoot vermin in a feed bin. It is anemic as Mr. Perfect attests but I have a smoothbore rifle that does pretty well on small pests out to about 10 feet.
    Just don't think it is harmless; put the muzzle tight behind a squirrel's ear and it WILL blow its head clean off.

    Last time I checked... I couldn't get within thirty five feet of a live squirrel...
    And if you're close enough to put it up to a squirrel's head... He's already dead... Waste of a round.

    Looks like CMP stickers on the foil. Does the ammo come packaged in 500 round bulk or 50/box in the big block?
