Still about a case of Norma Tac-22 in stock, $5.99 a box, or $59.90 a brick.

For more than a century, manufacturers have tried to make the .22 LR faster, cleaner, more consistent, and more reliable. New coatings, improved priming compounds, match-grade production methods—the goal is always the same: squeeze a little more performance out of the world's most popular rimfire cartridge.

Norma's .22 LR offerings have earned a solid reputation among many shooters for exactly that reason. They're generally consistent, reliable, and affordable enough for long range sessions without feeling like you're burning through premium match ammunition. For plinking, small-game use, and informal target shooting, they strike a balance that a lot of rimfire shooters appreciate.

Of course, every rimfire rifle has its own personality. One rifle may stack Norma rounds into tight groups all day, while another clearly prefers a different brand. That's one of the quirks—and frustrations—of the .22 LR world. Finding the ammunition your rifle truly likes can feel almost as important as choosing the rifle itself.

What keeps the .22 LR relevant isn't velocity or energy. It's versatility. From backyard plinking and squirrel hunting to competitive rimfire matches, few cartridges have done so much for so many shooters for so long.

I've had good luck with Norma in some rifles and mixed results in others, but the guns that like it really seem to run well on it.

What's your experience? Which .22 LR load has earned a permanent spot in your ammo stash?

Well. One of the last two customers who needed to pay for their order cancelled his order. So, that means there are two bricks of Lapua Center-X 26 speed available at the shop, $19.99 a box. This ammo is not available for shipping, since the shipping window closed yesterday for 15 May ship date.

I am officially closing out the 15 May ship date for any more orders. I have to box up, invoice, print UPS labels and arrange UPS pickup for 12 orders. Next ship date undetermined, probably mid to late June, depending on any incoming ammo. Sold out of Lapua Center-X and Lapua Long Range. (Two guys still need to pay today, or their orders will be returned to inventory). Thanks for the orders.

For those of you who were lucky enough to receive a text message from me giving you the total for ammo and shipping, the last day to pay is Monday, 11 May. To pay, you call in your credit card to my business number. (931-801-5376). I plan on shipping Friday, 15 May.

All Lapua Center-X and Lapua Long Range have been sold, if everyone pays today or Monday. If not, I will post what is available on Facebook.

With several pre-orders pending, I am shutting off orders for the limited amount of Center-X and Lapua Long Range. Those of you who sent texts already will hear back from me in the next few days whether your order will be processed, or not. There were a few boxes of Lapua Center-X, 26 speed, left, $19.99 a box. Also a few boxes of Lapua Long Range, 33 speed, $22.99 a box. (All Center-X and Lapua Long Range have probably been sold, pending sales).

Well. We are back from our camping trip to Huntington Beach State Park, SC and staying in a cabin at Roan Mountain State Park, Tennessee.

I will update the competition rimfire inventory in the next day or so. There is not much new after I sold out of Center-X and Midas last month at the shop.

Next ship date is now undecided, depending on what sells this Saturday at the shop.

Thanks for your patience.
