Does Browning/FN own Winchester ammunition now too? Last I heard Olin still owns Winchester ammo. Bought 600 rds. of .22LR WW Hyper Velocity 40 grs. today, and they still say Olin on the bottom of the boxes.
Talk is cheap. It takes money to buy whiskey.

No, they do not own Olin.

Thank you guys for all the good responses.
I wasn't aware that it was foreign made ammo until I looked at the box. Obviously try to buy American if possible but 22lr is still a little hard to find, especially locally.
These are hollow points, 'high velocity'...
Midway has CCI round nose and Winchester hollow points so I ordered 1k of those last night.
It seems like everything is about 10 cents a pop.
Grafs actually had free shipping and 16 gauge Fiocchi nickel plated #5's for $12.50 a box, now that is a deal!

drover,
Graf & Sons has the Armscor HP's for $49.99 right now, but have occasionally offered it for a little less on sale. Graf only charges a flat $7.95 for shipping on any order, and after I found out how well it shot in my T-Bolt I ordered the maximum per-household limit of 4 bricks, which along with a few bricks of .17 HMR's should last through gopher season.... I've been dealing with Graf for about the last 14 years and have found their customer service and pricing to be excellent. And I did order a brick of Armscor from them yesterday. Steve

Hi Steve,
Yeah, I've had good luck with Graf & Sons. Would be interested to hear how the Armscor shoots in your .22's.

I've shot almost a 500 rd brick of Arms corp over the last couple months. Just pinking with a couple of 10/22's, one suppressed, and my P22 and suppressor. It's one of the few ammos that cycles my P22 with the can on the end just fine. Has fed and shot well. Puts holes in cans and targets just fine. Haven't hunted with any or shot groups. I'd gladly buy another brick if I could find it.

If I can't find good CCI ammo, I have been trying some Aguila SuperExtra. Some folks call it "The Mexican Mini-Mags", and think highly of it. I don't know that I'd go that far, but it sure shoots well in my little Ruger SR-22 pistol. I haven't had time to try it in a good boltaction .22 yet, but I have high hopes.
I've tried some Armscor .22 Mag ammo, it was "okay" but nothing special, AND they want a premium for it around here. I really like the Aguila Super Extra. It works very well in semi-autos and is quite accurate. I mostly use it to shoot Speed Steel matches. I've never done any hunting with it. I just bought some at $.08 per round.
