My tip for saving money at the range.
I'm always preaching about the importance of training. After all practice makes perfect, but these days a trip to the range can be costly. With the price of ammo at its current level, and lack of availability. Planting freedom seeds in paper can get expensive for most calibers. With .223/5.56x45 coming in at around $0 .75 a round, 9x19mm and .40s&w at $0.45 a round just to name a few. So when I want to spend a day at the range and not spend an arm and a leg I turn to the .22lr they cost about $0.04 a round, and you can find many platforms to shoot it from for much less then their larger caliber counterparts. If you already own an AR15 chambered in 5.56 you can pick up a conversion kit to make it fire .22lr for around $200.00. The G***k 44 .22lr is about $350.00 new. If you shoot a lot like I do the initial cost is definitely worth it, and lets not forget .22lr is fun to shoot, cheaper, and a great way to introduce new shooters to fi****ms.
