I was thinking of getting my 22 stash in order before the upcoming election (pricing and availability are sure to go up this fall). What’s a good to buy in bulk? I’m looking at SGammo.com They are my go to for ammo. Looking at getting 3000-5250 rounds at 6-8 cents per round.

Wouldn't you first determine what 22LR ammo YOUR firearm likes? Buy that kind.
Personally, I deep stack Federal Auto Match |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AT-ST83: Wouldn't you first determine what 22LR ammo YOUR firearm likes? Buy that kind. Personally, I deep stack Federal Auto Match That’s a great question! I only have a Smith and Wesson M&P 22 currently that I usually run as a suppressor host with a Gemtech 22 can. That 22 probably won’t be my last though. Just thinking ahead so I don’t have to deal with 2012 type neck bearding of that caliber again. |

CCI 40gr Blazer is pretty good for accuracy and price. Pretty clean as well. That is over half of my 50k stash. I know amateur numbers!!

My M&P 22 has cycled just about anything. But it’s not the last 22 I’m going to own.
In general… what is mostly reliable? Not firearm specific. I’m thinking something CCI but Federal and Winchester in bulk is probably good to go. Not doing Remington gold boolits. |

Dependent on your usage/ purpose. For simple blasting I like aguila and CCI ( Mexican aguila is better quality than everything made in. The states except CCI)
For more demanding work I use SK pistol match special ,long range or biathlon sport which isn’t really worth the price for general plinking. I also for running suppressed like CCI standard Do not waste money on Winchester or Remington, and federal is only marginally better |

If you have Academy Sports in your area, they have Federal Automatch 325 rnds in wht/blk box for $00.07 per round. It’s good bulk ammo to run in stock type plinking .22’s. It’s not precision ammo but nothing cheap will be. If you’re a teacher, first responder, police or military/ ex military, you get an additional 10% until 7/6.

Most of my .22s run well with Aguila, which can usually be found cheap. Try a couple boxes first obviously.
You never know. My .22 AR15 SBR loves Magtech .22 and that seems to have a bad reputation. It can be found cheap too. |

In my experience ( plinking with 22’s all the way up to national competition and Olympic tryouts in college over a 40+ year span) Precision ammo: Lapua Mid grade match ammo SK Economy standard velocity CCI standard Blasting plinker grade stuff CCI mini mag, AR tactical, blazer Next best plinker grade aguila high velocity or standard velocity ( aguila’s standard runs a bit faster than most other brands by 50-75 FPS) If I am desperate and supply is an issue federal. If it comes down to recent production Remington or Winchester or nothing, I would probably take a break from shooting as yes those two brands are that bad!

I bought a brick a few months back to try cause it was so cheap. It ran in everything I tried it in with decent accuracy. My AR 22 would group 10 into 1.5” @ 50 and TX 22 competition would hold a 10 ring off hand @25. It’s not my first choice for suppressed shooting due to blowback. |

I go with:
CCI 40g standard CCI 40g minimag Aguila 40g HV (lately very waxy)(very stinky) I just bought 3k of Federal 45g subsonic. They are copper washed and I wanted to see if they were any cleaner through my suppressors. very quiet and so far reliable in a TX22 and a P322. Cheapest place to get minimag shipped by the case has been target sports last time I checked. |

As you can see , everybody has a pretty wide choice of what they like.
I like Minimags for reliability and function in most any gun. I like CCI STD for good general accuracy and the ability to function most semi auto firearms. My one can is a Ruger that fits on my Ruger TD and it loves the CCI STD. In the past I bought cases of various types of Aguila when it was $12-$15 a brick. Pretty happy with function , accuracy and reliability of most of it and for what I paid for it I feel I got a home run. Back some time I was buying several varieties of PMC. Zapper was roughly equal to minimags, Scoremaster was about equal to CCI STD I also got in on WOLF Target Wolf extra and some of the different SK stuff. I don't see much SK , Wolf , PMC , or Aguila around and when I do the prices are no where close to what I got my pile for. At various times I was grabbing various Federal 22 ammo. Recently I picked up some Magtech 40gr Standard velocity $30 a jar of 500. It performed very well, every bit as good as my favorite CCI STD. Thing to do with 22lr is try all the brands to see what is reliable and accurate in your guns and when you see it priced reasonable grab a bunch. Presently the place I have gotten reasonable deals is Targetsports. Super fast free shipping on case lots ,membership that you can buy into that gives free shipping on anything and gives you a extra discount (7 or 8%) Note to OP---Most 22 ammo comes in cases of 5000 , if you find a reasonable deal that is where you should start with , reasonable size and stacks well. |

CCI mini mags are great, but I’ve moved away from them because they suppress poorly. Standard velocity is the right balance of quiet with decent velocity for me.
Interesting factoid: CCI standard is just barely subsonic through my integrated barrel. Almost like it was designed that way. |

That 22 probably won’t be my last though. Just thinking ahead so I don’t have to deal with 2012 type neck bearding of that caliber again. If you are shooting suppressed, my advice would be to stock on on CCI standard velocity. It is good suppressed ammo through most if not all 22 hosts. For general non suppressed shooting/blasting, I like the federal automatch as it again usually runs good in most if not all 22 hosts. |
