When it comes to buying .22 ammo, the available choices can be overwhelming \u2014 if you don\u2019t take time to understand them. When I was a kid, 50\u00a2 bought a box of .22 Shorts<\/a>. Those Shorts were great for plinkin\u2019 with my High Standard Double Nine revolver or Remington 514 single-shot rifle. For something serious like squirrel hunting, I opted for .22 Long Rifle<\/a> hollow points.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I shot .22 Longs simply because that was what was on the shelf at the hardware store. Some days, I bought .22 Shorts, because Longs or Long Rifles would have cost 10\u00a2 or 15\u00a2 more. Shorts are great for short-distance target practice, and they\u2019re relatively quiet. We never used hearing protection in those days. Fifty cents for a box of ammo! Those days are long gone, but prices are coming down again.<\/p>\n
