22LR Ammo Recommendation

[Mr. Friendly]

I shoot CCI almost exclusively. I've had to many bad experiences with most other stuff...really dirty or leading up my barrels.

hence why I have 10K Velocitor, 2.5K Stinger and 5K Mini-Mag.

and as much as I love the Velocitor and Stingers, the mini-mag's feed the best, no HP to mess up on the feeding ramp and bringing you to a jam/standstill to clear.

I find CCI mini-mags dirtier than Remington and they stink more.

Never noticed that.. I found the opposite

The federal 525 are one of the cleaner brands that I use.

CCI is the better 22lr , but quite pricey around here ; Federal will give the best bang for the buck .

I'd stick with CCI when I have a choice

Same thing here.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Same here as well

The best thing is to buy a few bricks or a case when one of the vendors has them on sale.

I heard that the $30.00 Thunderbolts were sold out a a couple of TSC stores; so I stopped at our local one last night; 5 minutes too late... closed. I went over to Canadian Tire, and they now have a whole bunch of Federal Champion in stock (525) for $39.00; BTW, the Thunderbolts at CT were $42.00 for 500!

Agujilla is usually available at CTC the HV is okay for accuracy

I found that the Thunderbolts were very dirty, and many had the bullet loosely seated in the case. Also had more duds than any other brand.

Thunderbolts very dirty the last time I used them

Most 10/22 seem to eat whatever. For maximum reliability, mini mags are always a good bet

Federal 525 from Canadian Tire. Plated. $39 for a box

Cci, standard velocity will probably be the most accurate cheap(ish) bullet.All cci are pretty good depending on use. Federal auto match is a decent bullet. Try some eley ammo if you want accuracy. I don't like the smell of Aquila personally.
