My wife and I shoot .22 in NRA bullseye pistol matches and shoot a lot in practice for those matches. We also shoot a .22 rifle for practice all year long in order to be ready for that one shot during big game hunting season. We hunt forest grouse and rabbits a lot during fall with our .22 pistols and rifles.
I buy .22 ammo like people here that buy more lead than they need when they see a good price. My wife and I have never had to ration our .22 shooting.
As soon as I finish posting this, I'm headed to the range with 100 rounds of .22 and my Colt woodsman to practice and have fun.
