Grrrrrr,
I was in a rush yesterday doing errands before going to the range. I picked up a "brick" of American Eagle .22 shells. I got to the range and finished up my partial carton of Fed Lightnings and dug into the new brick.
After I opened it I see that the damn "brick" only contains 400 cartridges. I feel like I've been butt raped. That's a 20% loss.
I had CCI blazers in my hand but switched last second because I saw the AE's were plated. They were the same price per "brick" but not the same if I read the fricken box.
Damn all cheating penny pinching marketing scum. I put a pox on ye and I hope you suffer from AIDS, bird flu, herpes, gout, cancer, halitosis, and any other god damned malady I can think of. and those that I can't either. Bastards
I think I'll quit buying Federal Cartridge Company products for awhile. I usually buy 2 or 3 cases of .40, a couple cases of .223, at least 8 bricks of .22s in the summer. These are the same bastards that sell the 20 round shotshell boxes that screw young kids over trying to shoot skeet or trap for the first time.
I think we ought to do what britain did with the pint glass of beer dammit. Legal standards, It's for the kids you know.
