Best cheap ammo

[KDX]

What is the best cheap ammo you have used. It appears as if I got the bug again and will be buying a .22 soon. I have about 1200 rounds of Federal HP bulk ammo sitting here and was wondering what I should be buying next. It worked fine in my 10-22, but I'm going to buy a Marlin 7000 next.

Winchester Dynapoints Bulkpack from Walmart, followed closely by Power Points...

Power points for me - the slightly higher cost is the price I pay for more consistent ammo that is quite accurate in most of my 22s

 

[beerdog]

I find The Dyna Points the best for my 597
The Power Points are also good,they pack a bit more punch but not as consistant as the DP's in all my .22 so far
Rem 597
Norinco woodsman
Coey 75
m6 scout

remington sub sonic, real quiet and shoot most accurately in my 22

federal american eagles are the ammo that works best in my p22 and 22/45, dirt cheap and i have yet to have any problems at all

Winchester Xpert but I prefer Super X or Powerpoints .

+1

I havent tried some of the other stuff but I like the remingtons, not a ton of duds & for only $22

I use the 510 challengers in my 10/22 with good results.




Before I changed the extracter and hammer the CCI Blazers were the best for me, but that has now changed to Federal Champion High Velocity 40g solids.

ANyone use the Velocitors. Supposedly very good ammo.

Fed HVHP copper wash -1.5"
CIL Canuck greased--- -3.0"
american Eagle HV40gr-2.0"

"...I'm going to buy a Marlin 7000 next..." You'll have to start over. No two rifles of any calibre will shoot the same ammo the same way. Not even consecutive serial numbers.

Yep buy a 50 pack of everything out there and have fun while you learn.

The problem with the low cost ammo,I do not like to say cheap,is you'll get a flyer just about out of every group.For the cost,I love Win Dynapoints if you can find them and CCI blazers and for the flyers,I always wonder if it's the ammo or the wind,or the rifle or .....me.
Good shooting CCIC :?:

 

[y2k]

Win Xperts I love them.

POWER POINTS!! :twisted:

+1 for Federal Value Pack. CCI Blazer has also worked very well in all my .22's
10/22
S/W 22A1
Savage MkII FV-SR
DPMS Dedicated Upper

CCI MiniMags are worth the extra cost. Come in both 40 solids and HP's.
The jury is still out on which CZ prefers which bullet but it can change from day to day.
Buy as many boxes of 50 as you can and do 5 or 10 shot groups with all.
Keep accurate records and then make your call. Measuring groups to a tenth of an inch will be meaningful,
One rifle's dream is another's nightmare.
When you switch brands it may take a few rounds before your rifle adjusts to the change so that first group might be a throwaway . . . again your call.
Even at $15 for 100 of the new CCI Selects may not qualify as good.
