Unfortunately not, have no idea of what might be available. If Stinger's are available those would probably be it.

In all I have somewhere between 7 and 10,000 rounds of .22 LR ammo at any given point in time. Cant give you an exact figure because its all over the place and I shoot a hell of a lot of it as does the wife. More than a few thousand in this picture alone.

I have a few .22 weapons, and it very easy to go through a couple of hundred rounds before you even realise it with a pistol. It isnt unusal to go through 500-1K when shooting the .22 pistols. Though its mainly CCI Standard velocity.

Not really... I know people who have a hell of a lot more. Sometimes it just makes sense to buy in lots of 5K or more. It is cheaper. For example CCI standard velocity say is 4 Euors per 50. At a single transaction of 5000 which is a stanrad box, could be had at 2.5 euros per 50. It just is cheaper. :cheers:
Other than stuff like the 8x60S which is about 95 Euros for twenty and about .40 Euros to reload.. bulk ammo is the way to go (excluding precision ammo e.g. 6mm BR or 6 PPC et al). Currently I can find 7.62x39 cheaper than I can reload..

no one on the forum goes around dealers asking what they have in stock, in all the states of India. why not ask around your area? there are yellow pages on the forum so give it ago.

Hey I regularly ask dealers what they have in stock, but then i am not in India.

Good luck finding .22 tracers. I had got the chance to use them I was in India, but they are typically only available to the Armed Forces. Were great fun firing them at dusk or at night. Can think of a reason other than it being fun in a civillian scenario. Be aware tracers are more than capable of starting a bush fire.
