Default Gopher Ammo

Its almost that time again, Pro Line has a good supply of 22lr Winchester 36gr hp 333 rds for $22.75 per box. If that promised chinook ever decides to come down off the mountain, might get a chance to catch a few running around on top the snow-----

Many moons ago, there was a sale on the Federal box of 555 here...$17.95 per box. So I bought 25 boxes. Still have about 15 left. Sure am glad I bought all those. And the 40 boxes of .17 HMR for $13. I figure I'm good for my lifetime. Now I just need to move back to where there are gophers. *sigh*

17HMR goes stale if it sits to long I can help you out for $13.50 a box. Seriously you need to find a good gopher patch for a day or two.

Those are some old time prices. I picked up a fair bit of 22LR (10 bricks) and 17 HMR from an estate and the original ticket prices on the 22LR bricks were $15 and 17HMR were at $15. It would be interesting to know how old this ammo is. It still shoots very well.

Yeah, I've had a couple 'friends' mention all my ammo is going to go stale, and offer to help. But Huntinstuff told me if I keep it in a cool dry place, I can tell my friends to....go away.

I use CCI Blazer 22 (the CZ shoots it well) that I run through a Waltz Die on my reloading press. Puts a nice, nasty hollow point in those cheap solids. Relatively quick process, but the waxy coating on the Blazers gums-up the die about every 75 rounds and needs about 2 minutes of TLC. Hits gophers with an audible "pop" sound and results can be almost HMR-like. Almost.

I have 1,500 prepped for my 2018 gopher trip...lots more to go.

This seems to be good ammo from my experience. At that price one can't go wrong.
