After doing a quick look around the internet, it seems Federal and Remington .22 LR in bulk packs, are averaging around 12˘ to 15˘ per round. I obtained these numbers on Ammo Seek. Primers seem to be around $200 per 1K (or there about via Gunbroker prices).
Granted, the members here run the gamut in age, etc. I recall the last rimfire drought after the election of 2008. After a period of time, numerous folks sold their .22 RF guns and went to loading .38 Specials to replace them.
Which is cheaper for you at this time? .22 RF at current prices, or loading your own?
