Yup, a 400 round brick (10 packs of 40).

I noticed this about 1 1/2 years ago the first time I bought a brick of American Eagle .22 ammo

OK, I have been living in a cave then. I went into the shortage set pretty good and haven't had to buy any for a year or so. I bought a new .22 and wanted to try different ammo to see what it liked best. That old saying is true: Buyer Beware.

Thanks for the info.

They have been like that for probably 25 years.

Weren't there 500 round bricks or are you talking about only AE?

CCI is the brand you want.

They are good, but I try a dozen or so to see what the gun likes best. Sometimes it will surprise you and a particular gun will shoot some of the cheaper stuff better. This is going to be my new Steel Challenge rimfire gun.

Yup only the AE was 40 to a box, and 400 to a brick. A couple, actually many years ago, a hardware store chain had a "Back to the 50's" sale and was selling the American Eagles for $0.40 a box. I only bought 2 cases (8000 rounds) for a cost of $80.00. If I had only known what was going to happen with 22 ammo.

Thanks, I never knew that about AE. Most of the time I would buy Bulk Dynapoint at K-Mart. It turned out to shoot surprising well , both accurate and reliable, in most of my .22's. For precision work, it was always Lapua and I bought many 500 round bricks of that over the years.
