My 22LR CCI Standard rounds cost about 12 cents each. Norma 124 grain, FMJ, Range and Training rounds, sub-sonics, go for around 36 cents. That means every 22LR round fired saves me 24 cents when compared to 9mm costs. I typically shoot 40 rounds on Friday's Bullseye League night and another 60 rounds during the week practicing. That totals out to $12. Doing the same with 9mm ammo would cost $36.All this talk of using a .22 to improve shooting skills, thinking about getting a Ruger Mark, etc, had me thinking about getting a part time job at the local range to get employee discounts.
- 52 weeks X $12 = $624 a year for 22LR
- 52 weeks X $36 = $1,872 a year for 9mm target rounds. (reloads seems to average around 30 cents each or $1,560 a year)
- You save $1,248 a year shooting the 22LR ammo. You can buy a really nice 22LR pistol for far less than that.
