I ordered a box of 22 mag and was floored at the price. It was $50.00 a box but I was thankful to get it. Many other places were out!!

Geez, can't imagine that. Glad I've got all I'll ever need and grumbled about $11 a box for jhp

Just ordered another 500 rounds from Bud's Gun Shop. I think these are going to be 28 cents ea probably over 30 with shipping.
This will put my stash of those over the 3k mark. But I have 3 pistols that take .22mag. An Excel Accellerator semi auto, a NAA Earl 5 shot revolver. And soon to arrive a new Heritage .22lr/.22mag with adjustable sights to replace the 22 year old one my daughter talked me out of. So I will have to have some range time and ammo to get my new one sighted in.

Ammo is still out there for .22mag but prices are going up.

A lot of people say .22mag ammo is expensive, and compared to 3-5 cents a round .22lr it is.
But compared to a shotgun shell or a rifle round like .30-30 when it comes to killing varmints it will do the same job.
Costs are about even with a shotgun shell, but less than rifle ammo. Lots easier to carry 50 .22mag than it is 50 shotgun shells.

Recoil is less also.

IMO it will kill a varmint, or a coon, badger, possum or deer just as dead assuming you put it where it needs to be.

The other advantage is most people don't pay much attention to .22mag. So at a time where virtually all handgun ammo is impossible to find. I can still find .22mag and at reasonable prices. That seems like a good thing to me.
