I think I'm losing interest in .22 plinking anymore

The ammo drought ended my regular practice with .22.  While I can typically find it on the shelf now, it's still an inflated price ($.10/rd or so). And even at that, quality of the cheaper ammo has declined dramatically.  Groups are bigger than in the past and every box has one or more duds.  Get into good ammo and I'm spending more per shot than centerfire.

I feed that through my target rifle but I can't remember the last time I "plinked" with a .22....I save that ammo for my kids.

.22LR used to be fun when you could shoot 500 rounds for <$20.
At 10¢ a round I'll shoot 9mm reloads instead.
.22LR still has it's place in teaching kids and introducing new shooters to the sport but at 10¢ a round it won't be a day at the range any more.
I do have a nice supply that was a lot less than 10¢ a round and when I can easily replace it for ~6¢ to 7¢ a round I'll go back to shooting it.

I LOVE .22 plinking. Especially with my Marvin The Martian modified Browning Bucmark, I swear I can knock the 'nads off a fly with it.
