Solution for anyone looking for bulk 22lr

[magz]

I've been waiting for months for someone locally to get federal 22 bulk bricks back in. I couldn't wait anymore so today I bought this

Remington 22lr high velocity bucket o' bullets. I thought it would be crap but turns out it's awesome stuff!

300 rounds today out of my 597.. and not a single hick-up. To date, the only other ammo I have found that runs this flawlessly though my 597 is CCI Velocitor, but that's far to expensive for high volume plinking.

Now that I've tried it, I think that for 5.4 cents a round, this stuff can't be beat. Anyways, I just wanted to share in case someone saw one of these buckets and was on the fence about buying one.

Nice, thanks!

Yea works great for myself as well. Thought the 10/22 might not, but it cycles well. It flakes an awful lot but can't argue with it's effectiveness.

Win m-22 = 52.99 for 1000! @ CT!
I find with any type of Rem it's dirty and way more duds than Win or AE.
just my thoughts!

Remington = dirty junk

Very true, but when you can't find anything else, you shoot what's available.

Have a look on the EE for cheap bulk .22lr ammo......

Not too much trouble to get ammo here in SW Nova... I shoot CCI sub sonic now. Gone thru about 3 bricks since I started using em and not a dud yet!!

Cabelas has CCI mini mags 375 round pack for $28. I bought a few boxes yesterday.

Every time I check cabelas website they show outta stock

And my local gun store can barely be called that. They cost 6$ more a box of win 555 than the local CT

If you are using LRN in a pinch as opposed to copper washed 22lr .. do not forget to keep an eye on lead build up. Invest in a wire brush .. or bore snake ...

Was in Brandon Manitoba last weekend, the Home Hardware store had a pallet full of Federal bulk packs.

Any CCI standard velocity round nose?

I bought two buckets, and I have put at least 1 bucket so far through my Takedown, without cleaning the barrel, and there is no buildup. Being that I can pull my barrel off the gun and look down it..

 

[Armed_N_Friendly]

Best part of the Remington stuff is the bucket. Lol.
Found it dirty and lots of ftf

This was in pistols. Ruger mk2 and a s&w 41

Seemed to work ok in my rifle. Just dirty.

 

[silverfoxdj]

A Smith 41 does not deserve that lol

I have a takedown as well and have a bucket o bullets. Do you use the factory mag in youres? I seem to have some jamming issues with the aftermarket banana mag...

How do the Remington Thunderbolts compare to those in the Bucket o bullets? I have seen those in 50 packs for 3.20 or 4.6/bang, assuming it bangs.
