I keep a box of 22 shorts around for squirrel hunting with my Rem Scoremaster (which is older than I am.) I have had one go stem to stern on a grey squirrel I shot while he was facing me. I picked up a box at Wally's last summer for four or five bucks.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - or else it gives you a bad rash.
Venison is free-range, organic, non-GMO and gluten-free
Box of 50 22 short $3.99 at Dunham's. About all that is left after the vultures pick the new stock clean if bulk 22. The shorts last about a week on the shelf. They got 20 boxes of 22 short in last Friday. Still had some yesterday.
Price has been the same for the shorts for a few years bought a few in 2010 for the same price. These are Remington.
Getting them when I can shoo I have done when my daughter gets old enough to shoot. I think she its now, but mom says no.

Thanks for the correction.
An old neighbor of mine used to call the .22 short hollow points "meat points". What he would use when slaughtering animals on the farm for the stun shot behind an ear before he slit the animals throat.Robert
I remember back around 1950 a box of 22 Shorts were 16 cents at the hardware store in Oak Lawn Illinois. I was 9 years old and they sold them to me with no problems. That was 8 two cent bottle deposits, I could usually find that many on the 3 mile bicycle ride into town. What good days those were, my biggest problem was that it might rain.

If vegans love animal so much, why do they eat all their food?
Dang it guys you bring back memories. It is sad to think that this world has changed for the worse so bad that our kids and grand kids won't get to enjoy life as free and carefree as we remember. I remember the Western auto store had the 22lr's for 29 cents in '61 when I was 9. We used to shoot a couple of boxes each weekend, I still have that old Winchester model 61, and if you miss it is your fault not hers! Thanks for bringing back the good ole days if even for a moment in my mind!!
Purchased this week. Same price it was before the panic buying.
