I stock piled some .22 LR as well. I only have one habit, shooting, so I don't have other things draining recreational money away from it. I probably have 16/18K Automatch, Blazer, Aguila, 90% bought at normal or on sale prices during the last window of opportunity. Buy a case (3250 for automatch, 5000 for the others) every other pay day and next thing you know..... I have less than 2K Match Grade .22 LR, but it doesn't get shot as quickly, and I am waiting for better prices on it as well.I can wait.
Worse come to worst, I'll break out that case of 22 LR I rat-holed away.
