large quanties of cheap 22 ammo

Like Skeptic said earlier, you will need to test in your own rifle.

I have a dedicated 22LR upper built on an AR platform and it shoots Federal Champion® Target - .22LR 36gr Copper-Plated HP bulk without a problem. I have about 15,000 round on hand. I have tried Remington 22LR Golden Bullet HP 36 gr and it would FTE about 1 out of 2 times. I have also tried several others without as much success

My Brother has a conversion kit for his 1911 and it has a FTE about 3 out of 4 with these rounds, but he found another ammo which works well for him, but it is almost 2X the price.

My daughter has a Ruger 10/22 and it also shoots my ammo fair with a FTE about 1 out of 15 rounds.

But for ultimate reliability, I have a Colt Official Police 6 shot revolver which will shoot everything from long rifle to bird shot to shorts. Can't go wrong with it.

I found a garage sale about a year ago where they were selling a cardboard box with about 30 different kinds of 22 ammo in it. I bought it cheep and was able to try several different types of ammo in several different guns.

What I did/do -

Step 1: do ammo testing to see what works best in YOUR gun. It would suck to buy 10,000 rounds of something only to find it has FTF/FTE, accuracy, or some other issue. Same holds true for quality rounds, in the one gun I did ammo testing with I was surprised that Federal Bulk (Value Pack) shot essentially the same as CCI Mini-Mag (tied for 3rd best), and both Federal Game-Shok and American Eagle (also made by Federal) both shot better. I do need to do ammo testing with my other guns as they may be completely different.

Step 2: Buy a brick or two whenever I find myself in a store that sells ammo. Keep en eye out for sales (the best way to go).

If I could find American Eagle 38gr copper plated hollow points for $.05 or less or Federal Game Shok 38gr copper plated hollow points for $.06 or less online I'd order some. That's what I pay locally, but they can be hard to find in stores. Decent online prices are easy enough to find, until you add in shipping....

I was in the mood to purchase some ammo the other day, after satisfying that mood I found an even better price than either cheaperthandirt or sportsmansguide at Natchez Shooting Supply (natchezss.com). I still purchase from both of the previous and also aimsurplus.com but you need to keep an eye on multiple sights and brands. It depends upon your time commitment and desire to look around. If you are purchasing relatively small quantities you will usually be within a few dollars regardless of where you shop. My overall rule is never leave Wal-mart/K-mart without a box of shells. Its usually easier to buy a single box more often but if you have the ability and fortitude to put monies away and purchase large amounts you can absolutely save money that way.

Cabela's has bulk Federal 36gr CPHP .22lr, 2100 rds for $79.99. That includes a dry storage box.

Yeah the buyers club at sportsmans guide is a good deal. I also bought quite a bit of ammo from them. Some .223 and .45 alot of it Wolf brand. Also some .22lr. They have a good selection of cci rounds in .22lr.

I go with Sportsmans Guide too along with Cheaper than Dirt for bulk buying. I got on the email list for both to keep up with sales/deals.

I use to love cheaper than dirt but the last time I tried to place an order I was ordering 2 fanny pack bags and the cost was I think $37. but the shipping was $27 so i decided not to place the order .

Sportsmans guide has some decent deals sometimes. Last time i was on their looking around seems they had 5000 rounds of American eagle brand .22lr copper plated hollow points for around $230,$240.

I joined their buyers club and it saves me about 5-10 % on everything also thye send you e-mail spiecals ever other day . Over the past year I have bought quit a bit of 5.56 (223) , 7.62x54R , 7.62X39 , 9MM. and 45 APC . and have gotten great deals and shipping is cheap but you have to watch the sales .

I would suggest that you buy about half of your supply in good quality ammo say CCI and the rest in the cheap plinking stuff .
