    Abby Fundraiser v.2.0

    First, many genuine thanks to all the generosity shown by you guys toward helping Abby pursue her goal.

    You have done better than you know . . . .


    Yankee, Mapper, Jewban - all decided that should they win the 650 Rounds of Federal Match 22LR ammo should be auctioned off here on the forum with the proceeds going to Abby.

    Yeah. That is very cool indeed.



    Knowing that some folks only get paid monthly it seems most logical to run the raffle until 9/1/2014 at MIDNIGHT.

    All bids should be made here - in this thread - for the sake of transparency and ease of tracking.


    So . . . belly up to the mouse guys and let the bidding war begin!
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    Let us skip the other lies, for brevity’s sake. To consider them would prove nothing, except that man is what he is—loving toward his own, lovable, to his own,—his family, his friends—and otherwise the buzzing, busy trivial, enemy of his race—who tarries his little day, does his little dirt, commends himself to God, and then goes out into the darkness, to re-turn no more, and send no messages back—selfish even in death.

    Bump.

    Yup. This is going to keep happening until you either shoot me, or fill this thread with bids.

    Please remember this is about helping a young lady achieve her very honorable goals, not about getting a good deal on some .22 ammo.

    . . . pretty please . . .

    Mapper just donated a THIRD 325 round "brick" of the same ammo to this event. Total round count now is . . . . a whole dang bunch!!

    325 rds per box..
    Federal automatch is one of my "go to" ammos, along with cci standard velocity..
    If functions well in my semi auto pistols..they are setup for standard velocity.
    40 gr, lead, loaded at 1200 fps..

    Remember this is a Fundraiser to help Abby..that's why I'm donating a box..
    The ammo is good, and well folks know what it is going for on gunbot..

    Like I said before..it is not about the ammo to me..
    It is about helping a young shooter pursue a goal, and giving a little back to the next generation..
    As well as making a statement that we are proud of her acclomplishments and support her pursuits..

    Rumbler, can you revise the first post to reflect the round count ?
