Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTB .22 Autoloading Ammo

I recently bought a Remington Model 16 and would like to find some ammo for it. .22 autoloading caliber would be what I’m after, anything out there? I can provide a shipping label. Let me know what you have or might know of.

Thanks
Kyle

Go to Wal Mart and pick up some Federal auto-match and you are good to go. Pretty good plinking ammo and pretty accurate for semi-autos. It is your best bet. Or pick up some CCI mini mag. They are more powerful and more accurate but more expensive. Your choice. Good luck

He needs 22 Rem Auto ammo, not 22 LR.

Remington 16 was the only gun ever chambered in 22 Remington auto right?

winchester 03 is also 22 auto, not sure if they are the same.

I THINK the 03 was 22 WIN auto..........and I THINK that is different than 22 REM auto but I don't recall. I believe I killed those brain cells the summer of 92 on the bunkhouse steps at Powell Idaho with a quart of tequila.

Did you get the worm?

🤣🤣🤣🍻

.22 Rem Auto and .22 Win auto are different and don't interchange.

Lone bull2, you are a wealth of information!

The .22 Remington Automatic (also known as the .22 Remington Auto and occasionally .22 Rem Auto) is a .22in (5.6mm) American rimfire rifle cartridge.

Introduced for the Remington Model 16 semiautomatic rifle in 1916,[1] the .22 Rem Auto was never used in any other firearm.[2] It will not chamber correctly in other .22 rimfire weapons, nor will other .22 rimfire ammunition, including the dimensionally very similar .22 Winchester Automatic,[3] interchange with it.[2] This feature was to prevent use of black powder rounds, which were still popular when it first appeared, from being used in the Model 16, resulting in powder residue rapidly clogging the action and rendering the weapon inoperable.[4]

The power of the .22 Remington Auto is comparable to the .22 Long rimfire, and while it fires a heavier bullet,[2] it offers no performance edge on either the .22 Long or the very much more common .22 Long Rifle.[2] It is not as accurate or as effective as the .22 LR, either.[

have you tried RareAmmo.com?

I’ll watch those, thank you!

I’m currently reading Henry M. Stebbins’ Small Game and Varmint Rifles, ©️1947. Both the Remington and Winchester special auto rounds were dead ends even then, but I believe the .22 Auto was still being made.
