Is there nothing people don't play with in the USA? brilliant

Oh, were they playing with that turret? Looked like dove hunting perhaps! :wink:
Bit expensive for me though at $2 a round. Did look like fun though!!

I would like to know where you are shopping! I can't seem to find it any cheaper than $4.25 a round.

:oops: Sorry, that was a few years back, haven't priced them lately! They won't fit in my .22! Probably that much for inert rounds now!

or try here

2.95 per (if you get a 100) here

Then you have shipping and telling the Fed ATF agents to go away when your package arrives! :wink:

It was even crazier as 50 ammo was up to $6.00 a shot. Thankfully it has started to come down but is still very expensive. It made me dig out my re loader and learn how to use it.
