Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Bulk 22LR Ammo. What's the best Deal going?

I need to buy some 22 ammo, where's the best deals at now?

Thanks

Walmart

Thanks. I was wondering if there was a better deal going than joining target sports. I want to buy a bunch of different bricks and some cases over the next year.

Wa-Mart has had the Federal 550 packs of 36 gr. copper plated HP's for 19.94.00 here lately.

Picked up 3 cases of blazer for $200 each with free shipping over Easter weekend from PSA.

have a Remington 581 that loves that ammo, wish my Wal Mart wout get some, I'm down to like 10 bulk packs

Drypowder: The answer IS - go to Wal-Mart and buy the Federal 550 round bulk packs!
I have been using this ammo for a LONG time now and its accurate, fairly cleaning running (in my semi-auto's), very lethal on small Varmints and small game and is going for about 3.8 cents a round!
Good luck with whichever you choose.

Damn, that's a good deal. Considering....

I still got some of those with a price of $8.94 on the box of 550....

Sadly that ship has left the port.....

and will never return

Thanks for the help guys, some good info. I've got some federal I need to dig out and see how it shoots



We need a cheap rimfire ammo thread to post deals in.

Went to Whatamart this morning and by golly, they had a couple boxes. Snag! First I've seen there, and I check every time I go.

Hope it's better than the RedBox bulk I bought during Obama Panic 1. That stuff had a bunch of FTFs.

Thanks, BH.

Great wall of china mart here just has winchester 555 box for $27.88 and remington golden bullet bucket for $70, going to wait for one hell of a rollback before I buy any more

They list ammo prices from all over. In the 22lr section Aguila standard velocity will be among the least expensive. In the past it's been very accurate for the price. The biggest drawback to some of the sellers is shipping cost, ya gotta watch some of them.

the cheapest is not always what shoots the best but just depends what ya want to do tear up tin cans or go for ity bity groups and ity bity groups mostly boils down to ammo but ill shoot the hell outa Blazer 22lr at $21 for 500 and with the fed bulk stuff usaly ends up with a few FTE AND STOVEPIPES so I stay away from fed

Not all Federal bulk pack ammo is created equally.

Yes- the Federal 550 Hollow point bulk pack is just about as schitty as the bulk Remington / Winchester crap it is made to compete with. But- I have found the 325rd Federal Auro Match to be accurate ,reliable stuff and just about as cheap as Blazers, etc.

Well I've found the 325 packs of Federal auto match to be junk. That's universal through all 6 of my .22 rifles. None of the bulk ammo is anything great. Remington is the worst with the Winchester 333 and 555 bulk packs not far behind but Blazers aren't great either. You want good ammo you gotta pay for it period.

Gotta agree on the crappiness of most bulk. Once I get a couple FTFs out of a box it goes in the handgun supply. Still have some Winchester bulk from the same era as my Fed red box, but it's pretty reliable, if not especially accurate.

I got an ugly surprise when I tried some of that newer Winchester stuff that's supposed to compete with Velociters, an absolute dud that failed even when rotated in the chamber a couple times. I can't remember any CCI duds at all, though I suppose it may have happened at some point.
