Howdy all,

I am looking to stock up on 22lr now that it is fairly available and plan to do some shooting this fall.

What would you guys recommend if you were going to buy by the brick/case without trying in your guns first? I have a few nice 22lr's s and one of them will like it I'm sure.

Looking for some decent quality stuff up to the $5-$6/50 range.

Thanks I appreciate it.

+1 on that.

Auto Match tends to be pretty decent and it's even cheaper. I hear some rifle led don't like it much but it's been pretty good in my rifles.

Federal std vel Match is consistently good in everything I tried it in from rickety old slide actions to a Winchester 52. It runs $40/brick at the LGS. If you stumble onto some Winchester T-22's grab 'em. I shot a bunch of Auto Match back when it was the only thing seemingly available, but got mixed results in various guns. I relegate it to tin can plinking.

The SK/Wolf is pretty good in everything I've shot it through. For $60/500 its not a steal but in this market, its tolerable.

I Like cci mini mag HPs for hunting. My rifle shoots them well and they seem consistent from year to year.

Again for the SK standard or wolf match target in that price range. Not too far behind in many of my guns is CCI standard velocity. Never cared for mini-mags much in regards to accuracy.
That being said my personal go to hoarding ammo is Norma TAC. Always available and consistently performs WELL above its price point.

Thanks everyone for replying, I'll start scouring for best prices. Everything is online for me in my area.

I normally go for hollow point ammo. Between two CZ's and a 10/22 wearing two different barrels, mine all have liked WW Powerpoints, CCI Mini Mag HP, and CCI Velocitors.. in varying orders of preference. The only (expensive) target ammo I've tried is CCI Green Tag- all of them loved it!

They may be the same but when shot side by side they are different. Maybe just different lots. I shot some ccci standard that was pretty good today.

+1 on CCI Std. Vel. I just shot a box yesterday out of my Springfield 1922M2, one ragged hole at 50 yds.. Plenty good enough for me and readily available in my area. Haven't bought any recently so can't say regarding pricing.

I agree, but it's going to cost more than $6.00/box of 50. Add shipping costs on top of the price too, since the OP says he'll be buying online... Cabela's had the SK standard plus last weekend and I bought a brick, since I know my 10-22 loves it. Price there is $7.49/50

The sk standard out there for $60 a brick with very reasonable shipping, especially if one was buying a bunch.

+2 on the CCI SV's. Don't know what it is about them, but one of my guns just loves it and the others shoot it well.

SK Std Plus is good to go! And if you shop carefully, you can get a case of 5,000 for $500 shipped to your door. If my rifles (Anschutz & CZ) the SK Std Plus is about 90-95% as accurate as Eley Black Box (5 shots = 0.5" at 100) but it's only 25% of the cost...


Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession.

Depends.
Shooting is hard enough when you can see.
Do you have a seeing eye dog?
Or at least a shooting partner?
Anyway,
Congrats to you on overcoming your obstacles.
Good luck.

This^^^^^^

Consistent and reliable. If you're not hunting, the solid nose will do as well. They're not the best in either if my rifles, but they do well in both, certainly well enough for practice, plinking, and small game. There's often a limit with online sellers, but by combining them with other stuff you can lay in a brick here and there and water down the shipping cost.

A lot of the target ammo features greased bullets which can leave goo behind that attracts fouling and other dirt. The wax on mini-mags runs a little cleaner and allows you to carry them in your shirt pocket without fuzzing up too much. That applies to other waxed loads as well of course.

CCI Standard Velocity shoots at least acceptably well in every 22 I own and it shoots exceptionally well in several of them. It is my "go to" ammo

I'm like several boys above. My go-to ammo for all my .22s is CCI SV LR. I use it in all 4 of my .22 rifles, as well as in my two .22 handguns. I use it exclusively to hunt squirrels, also.

TAC 22 at bullets.com around 55.00 a brick and the best price per brick out there by almost 10.00. just another good option out there. i agree with all the above suggestions and especially on the mini mags for hunting.

If I was only allowed one 22LR ammo for everything I would pick CCI SV. Shoots well in everything I have tried it in and is still affordable.

Awesome. That's where I'd be buying it. However, like we all know, it's best to buy more than a brick when shopping online. If just buying a single brick, the price is back up to what I paid for it at Cabela's. The nice thing about this ammo, is I'd trust it to be accurate in every 22lr I own. If your 22 didn't like this ammo, I'd be very suspect of the rifle, not the ammo. Thanks for the link. I'll definitely use it!!!!
