I first saw and got these from rural King years ago. Back when you can still get Russian ammo from big box stores. I think I grabbed two boxes. Put one away in a ammo can in storage. And opened one box up to start using them among different .22 platforms. At that time I probably paid like 5-6 bucks a box and also had no clue what it was or it's purpose. From what I remember I thought it was inferior ammo at the time of purchase.
Not a fan of bulk .22lr as it's real garbage nor am I a fan of match grade eley or lapula .22lr ammunition.Rimfire is a very fine line to walk. Everyone knows .22 is finicky.
I just refuse to pay centerfire cartridge prices on rimfire.. Even 0.20 cents CPR is too much, that's 9mm pistol caliber prices. Though I did pay 0.25 cents CPR for this box of super colibri. Basically the market price of a box of 9mm.
Bought this box today for $12.xx
Forgot the exact amount. Only reason I paid this much was it's out of production from Agulia. They only make regular colibri no more super. That and I had been in multiple stores and pawn shops looking for it. I did have one box of this new and a few loose rounds put away in my stash from years ago.
One store I went looking for this knew what it was. Knew the difference from the super colibri and just colibri. He also said it's rare and like $50 a box.
This sparked a very awkward situation at the store today. Which was a big store with a range.
He knew he had the product the super colibri. I showed him this Pic. Then when I asked about regular colibri he said that didn't even exist and that what I was asking for colibri means the caliber.
Which it does not. Why would Agulia use another word related to the English language to represent the caliber.
Colibri means humming bird in French and Spanish. Which I didn't think of off the top my head. Then I showed him a picture of regular agulia colibri because he was making me look stupid in front of his customers.
I ended up buying the box only because I knew it was out of production.
I like this stuff for shooting in my garage. I've already test fired this stuff in my garage.
The super has a small charge of powder. The regular colibri has zero powder and is just primer compound. I plan on buying a entire case of the regular so I can sit at home with a cup of coffee and plink away.
The shop is local to my work so I may grab another box or two of the super. It's unobtainable online but not thrilled to cough up $12 dollars a box of .22.. I want to be able to plink at home with both powder and non powder cartridges.
What's you're most expensive. 22lr ammo you bought or use. I want to try yellow jackets from Walmart next. They remind me of tulammo 9mm hollow points.
