Our sport is in serious trouble due to lack of .22s for kids. Are the kids not the future of the shooting sport? I know many people who are lamenting the lack of .22s, but I don't have one of those boolits in the house. Used to buy them by the thousands when our kids were young, and they'd shoot for hours with us. Now? Just find a .22!
So, here is my proposal:
This is a trade of sorts, but not for me, for kids (via parents of course) needing .22s to shoot.
Do you have at least 250 rounds of .22s, or a basement full?
I will mail at my expense, a SFRB with at least 12 pounds of range lead ingots or COWW ingots (muffins and corncobs) to you in trade for at least 250 rounds of .22LRs (more if you want to give more!) you GIVE to a family needing .22s for an outing of shooting. That should be enough .22s at least for a bit of fun on an afternoon with Mom/Dad (as long as the kids are doing the shooting, not watching).
I ask:
You have at least 25 posts. There are those, unfortunately...
There is an understanding the .22s are for shooting, not hoarding (they are free for the shooting, so shoot!).
The family does not have .22s to shoot (heck, who doesn't know those in such a situation).
The .22s are not for your kids.
* No first "I'll take it". Just "PM sent" and a little about who you intend the .22s for. I'll pick. *
Don't know how long this will run. Depends on response.
Oh heck, you get the idea. I don't know how this is going to work out, but I think this is worth trying. I do not have money to throw at this, but if some of my lead, and $5.80 postage can accomplish this, with your .22s, then that is great in my book.
Thanks,
Bob
