.22 ammo

[Mikerod22]

well i made my first purchase last week. I bought a marlin 795 .22 it was cheap but reviews say its highly accurate and reliable. I get to pick it up tomorrow. anyways i went to bass pro and they are all out of ammo all they had its thunderbolts(which i hear are garbage) and some winchester xperts(which ive heard are garbage as well) i was wondering were you guys in s.fl pick up your .22 ammo. preferable bulk. i was looking for maybe federal bulk or some cci blazers.

where should i go to get them?

walmart when they have it

[Mikerod22]

Thanks for the reply

yeah i went to a walmart yesterday and all they had for 22 was those shell shots they make. i might pass by a walmart in miami today hopefully they have something in stock

[spikes40]

if they have an 12 00 buckshot 15 round value packs....grab a few for me and I will meet up with you

[Mikerod22]

alright i will keep an eye out when i go. ill let you know if i find any

My experience Federal has not failed me yet. I have had issues with Thunderbolt. I'm mixing what I have left into mags to cycle it out. The Federal bulk works for me and the price is right. CCI no issues either.

[Mikerod22]

so i picked up my rifle today but no ammo...im going on an ammo run soon to walmart

[anthony20031]

yh I wanted some federal but all they had were the thunderbolts so I picked up 500 rounds of that just for now

sorry to hear that...walmart on 441 and atlantic had 22 cartons of federal 550 bulk last time i was there last weekend

[Mikerod22]

i went to two walmarts today and they had absolutely nothing. i hope they restock soon because i want to shoot my rifle soon.

[JaxChris]

I could ship you some Federal 22. lol

[Mikerod22]

How about you just send me everything you got at your expense. but seriously this is annoying i want to take it out the the range and cant. I might just pick up some thunderbolts too. bass pro did have some Remington competition ammo maybe ill pick some of that up

[Chris]

remington bulk here, wolf match target when im trying


you can buy online from a ton of places if your short in SF

[Cris]

They had plenty of Remington at Bass Pro when I was there the other week. I grabbed two bulk boxes. Actually come to think of it, I am sure there was a run on it, with possibilities of Christmas .22's.

[anthony20031]

yh I was there Cris a day or two before Christmas and they were all gone. They just had some JHP and the thunderbolts. I grabbed the thunderbolts just so that I would have something to shoot

[Cris]

Looks like Phil and I ruined your chances of getting some decent ammo.

[anthony20031]

Bastards!!!! lol

[JaxChris]

Didn't I post up the .22LR deals online that are all Walmart priced? Hmm, swore I did.

[Mikerod22]

ya'll bought out all the ammo...maybe ill just pick up some thunderbolts. They still had plenty of those. I just hear so much negative feedback about them. but i guess shooting something is better then not shooting at all. Ill run to bass pro later today and fingers crossed they have restocked. what about the local gun shops any of them have decent pricing although im sure they all ran out too

[spikes40]

441 and atlantic had plenty of federal.... i will not put thunderbolt in any of my guns

[Mikerod22]

im doing some work so ill be up in that area today hopefully i can do a quick pitstop if time allows although im not sure ill get much work done today

[anthony20031]

My buddy has a 10/22 and runs thunderbolt through it without any issues

[Mikerod22]

well ill see i picked some thunderbolts at bass pro I will probably go shooting tomorrow..
cant wait

[JaxChris]

If you're shooting bolt-action, then you can run any 22LR you want. All the negative feedback you hear about 22LR is when it's used in semi-auto dedicated and converted rifles. Federal has the most consistent case rim for reliable feeding... most other brands are crap in that aspect.

[Mikerod22]

i am shooting semi auto so i have to be careful with the ammo i put into to avoid wasting my money on useless ammo

[Cris]

I never had issues with Thunderbolts, back in the day that is.

[JaxChris]

But that is with a 10/22, right Cris? You don't have a semi-auto 22? Even the Walther P22 is considered the pickiest when it comes to what ammo it likes.

[Cris]

It was in an old Marlin semi auto.

[JaxChris]

Really? Hmmm, I guess all those plastic toys (GSG's) and Black Dog mags really are to blame then.

[Cris]

I have had no issues with my Hot Lips magazines. They work awesome and have a nice speed loader for them also. It worked well enough C3PO picked up a loader also. They work an any steel lined mags, hot lips and factory rotary mags from Ruger.

[M@D-M@X]

What match ammo (from your experience) do you recomend?

I have some old Federal which I bought years ago for plinking with my 10/22 but now that I have a new toy in .22 LR, I would like to run some match ammo thru it.

I've heard that Wolf Match is pretty good. Any one has any experience with it?

[spikes40]

i like CCI green tag precision
