Shitting Bullets 2013-08-22
Someone recently was telling me about a local store that is selling 1400 round buckets of Remington Goldens .22 for about sixty bucks. I figured this might be a good opportunity to do a little math. The following chart shows some pricing for a few common .22 rounds.
Ammo | Rounds | Price | Price Per Shot |
---|---|---|---|
Thunderbolt | 500 | $17.85 | 3.57¢ |
Subsonic | 500 | $26.94 | 5.39¢ |
Golden | 1400 | $58.94 | 4.21¢ |
So let us say that we'll go through about 4000 rounds of .22 in a summer, that would be $142 for Thunderbolts, $168 for Goldens, and $215 for Subsonics. You know, for $50 a year I might be willing to buy up a couple o' buckets! However, a few YouBoob reviews have pegged them as being crap, basically claiming that they may be tarnished shitless or that they fire dirty which might suck in a semi-auto. Perhaps we'll get one bucket and see how they look and perform.
