Recreational target shooting at the range/on steel out to 200 yards-1st pick, CCI Standard velocity.  2nd pick, Aguila STD Velocity.  I also have a lot of Aguila High velocity as well, but it’s about 1/2 an inch bigger groups @100 yards vs their std velocity.

Serious target shooting- Federal Gold medal, etc.  I haven’t made the jump yet to Eley, etc.  I’m not that serious or good enough to justify the price/round yet.

Suppressor use on pistols and bolt action rifles- CCI Subsonic, STD velocity, Aguila std velocity.

Best place to keep an eye on for buying CCI STD Velocity- Expert Voice website.  $2.99/box with free shipping code for orders over $75 I believe- they have it for months.  Similar deals previously on subsonic 22 lr, suppressor, etc.

Check it out, deal is active now.   I hope I don’t regret posting the link and you guys snap it all up!  Basically the discount is 40% off of CCI MSRP for most flavors of 22lr.  Best I’ve seen in a bit with the free shipping code for.  And they ship quickly in my personal experience (multiple orders in the last year).

Hope this helps!

It helped alright, to empty my wallet. $2.99bx for SV is going to cause the UPS driver to need ibuprofen after he delivers today. Thanks for the heads up @Falcon1991

Scheels has boxes for $3.99, so $80 for 1,000 and $399/5000 (if they let you buy that much). Might be able to get a better deal with sale/coupon/credit card.

In order of what I look for.

CCI SV
CCI Subsonic
Aguila SV
Aguila Subsonic 40gr
Federal Match SKU711B

I did buy a case of the Armscor HV SKU 50307 and it has actually been really good for HV plinking ammo in my revolvers.

On the DO NOT BUY list
Norma
Eley Bulk ( I bought 12,500rds of the bulk SV ammo which was spec out to be 1050fps. It was not and very inconsistent on velocity was all over 1100fps at 850' asl. It also has a very dirty oil coating on it which caused issues with mags running suppressed.)

I will say Rem Golden Bullet while hated by all actually runs the best in my Mac11 22lr conversion.


Will also share this during the panic buys that I have seen over the years 22lr has always skyrocketed. Last panic I looked back at all my previous ammo purchases and found .06cpr the point to start stacking deep on. According to wiki arms a number of vendors had various retailers and product lines under that.

Seems like I got the Armscor for like .039 cpr.
