domin8or Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Looking at getting into FAC shooting, but i couldnt help but notice the difference in price for ammo, between the two calibres. I mean its almost 4 times the price for HMR as apposed to LR. Just wondered if anyone has any idea why this difference is so much.?

PUZZLED The 2 rounds are vastly different in almost every aspect, only common factor is they are both rimfire - Try Edited July 14, 2010 by Katash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domin8or Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Watched the video, Clearly the .17 is bigger and contains more gunpowder than the .22. But i still cant believe the price difference, it would put you off going for a .17 because of the price lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 ye suppose so, just wondered how it could cost so much more Thanks for the advice it's not just the powder, but the balistic tip costs more to manufacture aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
