Been stocking up on .22 LR ammo. I don't want to get caught short if there is another drought like happened under obongo. I had ammo, but didn't want to shoot it. Now, I'm shooting that up and replacing it 2:1. Since Cabela's opened a store in Albuquerque, I can usually get a brick on sale for $25 while other places are still either sold out, or trying to sell a brick for $35-$40.
Funny thing is, I never gave the ballistics a whole lot of thought except to track down the ballistic info on CCI Mini Mags and CCI Blazer, only to discover their ballistics were identical, according to their website at the time.

Understanding 22 Ballistics (22 Long rifle – 5.6x15mmR) whether you shoot hyper velocity, subsonic or standard 22 ammunition (around 1250fps) is essential if you want to hit small targets beyond 100 yards.
Why Understanding 22 Ballistics is Important
The 22 LR is ideal for teaching novice or beginner firearm owners the basics of exterior ballistics and how to consistently hit targets beyond their usual shooting distance.
Ammunition is inexpensive so you can practice all day at the gun range. However, before you start buying 22 ammo based only on velocity believing highest velocity is the key to better long range ballistics performance from the 22, read the following.
