Scotty Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I do a lot of plinking with my .22 Ruger Standard. I am also cheap. Where do you find the best deals on ammo? Picked up some Federal hollow points the other day a WalMart---$17 for 550 bulk pack. I haven't used any yet. Not a bad price if they work.

RLH70 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I have a stockpile of Winchester silver box 37gr HP. It runs very well in all my 22's. It runs especially well in my Ruger MarkII target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Thats a very hard question. It seems that some of the bulk .22 ammo is all over the place as far as accuracy and reliability is concerned. I have about 10 bricks of Russian Junior .22 ammo I bought about 15 years ago and is great for plinking. It's a little messy (greasy), but performs well and is accurate. Compared to some of the stuff they sell for inexpensive bulk ammo, that stuff is now a bargain.It almost seems like you either get high priced, match grade ammo or lousy, inaccurate, bulk ammo. The Remington Target ammo I bought works well in the .22 handguns I tried them in, but it's $7 a box of 100. The RWS R-50 subsonic stuff I use in my target pistols is now $12+ a box of 50. Eley is about the same price or even a little more.Aquila makes some good ammo, but it also is getting more expensive. My wifes 8 shot Ladysmith J- Frame likes the 60gr Aguila. Aguila now uses Eley priming methods for thier rimfire ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'm just amazed at the price of .22LR these days. I guess that comes from growing up with $1.00 a box ammo from the hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkie_Lefty Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Some curse it, but I've allways had great results with Fed 550 bulk in my Ruger mkII.Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I have a box each of Federal, Winchester and Remington---550 bulk.I'm taking the Federals and Winchesters out to try this weekend. The Remingtons have been terrible. I either works well, I'm stocking up a Walmart. Good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
