106 a brick for .22 Long rifle? How many you want to buy! LOL

Get online and hit the big sports stores in your area. Order from the website and ship to your closest store destination. I've been doing this with Cabelas and am still paying what 22 ammo cost 9 months ago, it gets shipped with my name on it, and it arrives within 3 days. Do not feed this ridiculous price scam!

this is not plinking ammo. this is match grade ammo. i think the price of this ammo was about 9 or so dollars a box even a few years ago. just wondering how good it is.

I'd buy a brick for testing, try different lot #s if they are available too. I know Federal re-brands some RWS ammo, not sure if the 922A is but RWS is good stuff.

I'm a lot more willing to try different match ammo today since you can easily sell the rest if it doesn't shoot.

I just saw some of this listed for 14$/box of 50. Edge runs about 12/box, if you can find it, and 10x goes for 18- to over 20/box. I would sure try some before I jumped into a brick of 500.

Does Federal still list the stuff? Not is it available, but is it still in the catalog? If not, and it turns out to be great stuff, can you find more? Did Saeed test it? What were his results?

Decent match ammo (Eley black or Lapua) often goes for $15 a box, after you pay shipping. The decent stuff for serious practice (Eley Team. SK Jagd, Wolf) goes for about $8, again after you pay shipping. So if the Federal stuff works in your rifle, the price is not completely out of line.

If you are a serious paper puncher, that is the price to play the game, and that price has not inflated at anything like the rate for plinking ammo.
