I live in a very small town so ammo choices are pretty slim. Which is the best/cheapest online retailer to buy .22LR ammo from? Looking for some bulk packs of Federal. I know Cabelas has 2100 rounds of the Federal plus an ammo can for around $96 before tax and shipping. Wouldn't mind trying some CCI Mini Mags or Standard Velocity either. And maybe a small quantity of some higher end stuff just to see what kind of difference it makes.

Also, are lead bullets going to foul up the barrel a lot quicker than copper plated? Looks like the CCI Blazer is pretty decently priced. How well does it shoot?
 
None of the online stores seem to have a good selection of .22 at the moment. Canada Ammo is my favourite online ammo scource since they have free shipping (if you spend over $200) and will price match any other dealer. So I generally shop around for the best price and then order from CanAm. Many people love Blazer, but I find the lead bullets make it dirty to shoot. I prefer federal bulk pack with the copper plated bullets.
 
Canada Ammo is one of my favorite places to order from. The prices on 22 ammo aren't that great right now, but it's just the sign of the times that bricks are going for ~$30. They did just list some federal 40gr RN at $22.99 per brick,

I've only had leading problems with Remington Thunderbolt. I've used Blazer, American Eagle, CCI Standard Velocity all in 40gr lead round nose and have no leading problems in my 10/22, SR-22 or 22/45 Mark III.
