Question Title
"What price are you willing to pay for premium quality 50-Rd box of 22LR ammo designed specifically for a semi-auto firearm?"
This query made me question their sincerity.
Dunno why that would be. I've been shooting some Geco Semi-Auto (now discontinued, I think) that shoots marvelously well in my CZ 512 carbine (by well, I mean under .4" @50yards, which is pretty good for a tiny little bone-stock carbine with a cheap scope) Geco is re-badged RWS, so I guess I'll have to start buying RWS when and if I can find it.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I'd do it but I'm so stinking stocked up on rimfire I'll never run out. Hoar-der. Hell ya, I loaded up when it was 60 bucks a brick man! I think i still have some of the ammo that cost me $8.99 per brick in the early 90s.
Don't be the darkness.

Got it done.
It smelled like Hornady to me, as I was filling it out.
I'm prolly all wrong. That's okay, I wish them the best. That’s my guess too. They could easily step into the market and make big waves.

I responded but I'm not sure it went through. I don't like surveys where they let you fill it out, and at the end want personal info, which is likely to be used for marketing purposes.
For me, especially with the higher end match ammo, continued and consistent availability is important. I have a whole collection of boxes of high end imported ammo, especially Lapua and Eley, that is no longer available and I don't have enough of it to take to matches. Some may still be out there but with different packaging and branding or labeling, but how do you know? There was a time in the 1990s or early 2000s when Federal made some excellent match level ammo, but then it disappeared and then some Federal showed up that was rebranded German ammo, and so it goes. I had a guy argue that all Federal was made in the USA until I pointed out the really tiny print on the brick that said Made in Germany.
Make really good stuff and keep it coming. Skip the corporate game playing.

Back in the day when I shot more rimfire it was minute of gopher, every cartridge fired in every gun, and they were a lot cheaper than centerfire, even reloads. You tended to buy the brand that was on sale because they were all good. Now you need a survey?

Done but I had trouble listing different companies ammo. I can't get a lot of it around here like Lapua and SK. I gave up on my 10-22 and got a RPR in 22lR. The thing will do really good with standard velocity stuff and It likes Federal Match. Eley is out of my price range and what I shoot I like to purchase enough to keep me shooting.

Done.
I’m glad to see a manufacturer actually seeking input from potential customers. Seems like most everybody wants to tell ME what I want and need. Kinda refreshing!
I burn through a lot of .22LR, sometimes competition, but mostly because it’s cheap and fun. I buy what’s reasonably priced, dependable, and accurate in my rifles.
I’ve experimented with different types of .22 fodder, mostly based on price, availability, and accuracy. Keep in mind that if people cant afford it or get it, or it doesn’t work well, it’s not gonna sell.
I think that statement is true for most everybody.
Once again, thanks for seeking our input.
