this stuff was 4x as expensive a year ago.

http://ammoseek.com/ammo/22lr/-rimfire-60grains-?ar=1

while I've seen some claims that this bullet doesn't stabilize in normal 1 in 16" .22lr rifling twists, I did a quick test thru a borrowed 1022 and 2245 at the range. Just quick groups at 25 yds, seemed par for typical .22lr ammo. ( I dont currently own any .22lr guns, just conversion units) Does really well in 1 in 9" twist Ar's and the Ciener .22lr conversion unit. If you hold shut the bolt with your off hand, the 223 silencer makes this stuff sound like a BB gun. You can hear the bullet "click" thru a paper target at 50m, on a quiet day. It hits and cycles like normal .22lr ammo. Because of the super-long bullet, it has to be loaded in .22 SHORT cases.

I've yet to see this 60 gr stuff locally. It's such a specialized-need item that I consider 500 rds of it a lifetime supply. No need to be doing routine practice with it. It was rare to see it locally even prior to 2012's beginning of the .22 ammo shortage.
