...Is there any ammo that's cheaper than .22LR? My local Wal-Mart sells boxes of 550 rounds for $10 or so in .22LR... Can you get .22 short for less than that, or anything milsurp?

[BattleRifleG3]

Nope. 22LR is the cheapest ammo. 22 short just isn't bought in enough volume.

Milsurp is better priced than commercial ammo of the same calibers, but no army uses 22LR as a standard issue round.

Yep, the shorts are higher priced - just not many folks use them anymore.
There are literally billions of .22LR produced anually - mega volume keeps the price down. :right:
Cheapest CF ammo is probably handloaded 9mm Luger - buying the components in bulk is cheap. But you still can't load it for as cheap as buying .22LR!

I bought my daughter a Heritage Rough Rider that has the magnum cylinder as well as the standard. I bought a box of fifty 22 WMR for what I pay for a box of 500 22 LR.

8mm mauser from yugoslav country in bandoliers, got some for 1.00 for 20

[BattleRifleG3]

That equals $0.05 per round. 22 ammo is generally about $0.02 per round and it's newly manufactured and non-corrosive.
