What is the highest you have/would pay per round for Norma TAC-22

I know a lot of you like shooting Norma TAC-22 as do I and was just curious what is the highest you've paid or are would be willing to pay per round for it. I confess I've paid up to $0.12/round for a couple of bricks when it was available.

When ammo finally started to become available after the 'rona, Rural King had some "on sale" for 7.99/box. I bought a brick, shot some and liked it. I bought another brick at that price.

Then it started to be available at around $4/ box and I bought a case. Then it went to about $350ish per case, at my door. I bought 2 more cases at that price.

$5ish a box is the max I'd pay under the current ammo/political/economic climate.

Same here.
Been shooting it since they started importing it and also was shooting Gecco rifle and semi-auto
to me it's the same stuff.
Think it's just re-boxed RWS Club ammo.
I think it's worth about 6 bucks a box, shoots just as good as Eley Force and Contact and is
6.50-7 bucks a box.
But I did stock up last winter when it was going for 3 bucks a box.

I've tested 2 different lots out of 5 that I have on hand with the SD around 40 and the ES of over 100 for a 50 round box. Typical plinking garbage that's not worth the $.06 each I paid for them. It will take me years to shoot up the 8 remaining bricks.

I bought some a couple of years ago and it was complete trash. Every single round failed to feed the next round in a S&W M&P 22 compact. Would never even consider buying it again.
We picked up a couple of cases after Covid. Pure garbage we sent an email they wouldn't respond. I won't take it for free.
Never liked it.., neither did my CZ.
Yeah I've run into some ammo that my rifles just didn't like either, luckily both of my CZ 457 Varmint MTRs really like TAC-22 & MATCH-22.

I am still learning and burning late 90's early 2000's bulk dynapoints. Thunderbolts, wildcat, superX. Every extra $20: I would buy s box or so. Then covid and now i got into rhe suppressor game. Father's day had it for$29.99/brick. I liked it went back and all they had was single boxes for $3.99, i bought the ten they had. That will be my limit as i can buy cci sv for $9.92/100 at the walmart. I am still burning my old stuff. And it isn't quiet but it is fun!!

It shoots better than I can right now. I haven't shot rimfire for groups in 14 or 15 years, and it's a perishable skill.

It does seem more consistent than the CCI Subsonic I was shooting. When I bought the CCI before, it was pretty consistent -- but it's not now, and it's not all me.

The TAC-22 shoots like the CCI of my youth did, and any mistakes on paper have been mine.

I just received the hollowpointer tool for my press, and am playing around with the bullets' centers-of-gravity while turning them into squirrel hammers with the flatpoint anvil.

Wanted to buy a box or two for testing some months ago, but my local gun store didn't have them in stock anymore. They told me they wouldn't get them any more, as they'd been discontinued.

And I live just about 20 miles from where they used to be produced (RUAG Ammotec).

I consider them as standard level target ammo, so I wouldn't pay more than for other comparable standard ammo, what is about 6 Dollars for a box of 50. So, 12 cents or less per round would be accepted.
