Hi Knackers,

My 1894m likes the 50 grain Federal Gameshok at about $22.00 a box of 50.

Hope that helps.......

regards, curan

Thanks curan, suppose I can bank on $20 a box for cheap stuff, as long as it's minute of rabbit @ 50, that will do. :wink:

I bought Winchester power points for about $19 a box, theses were the copper clad hollow point projectiles not jacketed.

So what are you paying for HMR, the last lot I got worked out at 16.00 per 50, but I did buy a brick. Haven't brought single boxes for years now. Would 22 mag be cheaper than that if they were brought by the brick ?

If it helps, last brick of hmr I bought last year worked out at $18 per 50, much better than the local blokes $27 per 50. In comparison the $19 for 50 WMR power points was from the local bloke and I reckon by the brick would be much cheaper.

This is mostly for the young bloke to use. Last time I bought a box of HMR they were $27 and that was about three years ago and WMR would have been a couple of years before that. I'm nearly out of everything except .22's and 12g crackers, got bag's of them. :wink:

Well I grabbed a pack of Hornady 17g HMR @ $25 a pk, the only WMR ammo was Remington @ $25, the same as the HMR stuff. So for that price I'll go with the Hummer. :wink:
