22 Long Rifle (LR) Ammo For Sale
Overview of 22 Long Rifle (LR) Ammo
22 LR ammo is the most widely produced and popular cartridge in the United States. For more than 100 years, it has served the needs of hunters, sport shooters, law enforcement, and even the military. Based on the Flobert BB cap, 22 Long Rifle ammunition is the result of continuous improvement of the BB cap to meet the need for a cartridge with accuracy, low recoil, and low noise for many applications.
The 22 LR rimfire cartridge is used in many situations, from target shooting to plinking and small rodent control. It's comparatively inexpensive, widely available, and lighter to carry – making 22 LR ammo a fantastic choice for extended shooting sessions at the range, an extended hunting trip, or a long hike while hunting rabbits and squirrels. Our 22 LR price history shows how the cheapest rimfire range ammo has moved month by month since 2009.
For reliable performance across all these applications, many shooters choose CCI Mini Mag 22LR for its consistent feeding and accuracy.

Best .22 ammo out there.

Shadow said:
One in every 10 or 15 failed to fire. Not great, but I'm told for rimfire rounds that is normal. I expected more reliability given the price.

Have not popped a cap on one of this batch, but have shot a bunch of CCI ammo. Bulk is a great value (.08) and CCI is a quality brand. kw

Ron said:
As an instructor, We use thousands of rounds every year. CCI Minimags are, by far, the most dependable that we have found.

Jay said:
CCI MiniMag JHP is tops. Bought 5k rounds @bulk price. Great stuff. Bravo ammo.com

Chris said:
Shoots good for bulk ammo, a little waxy, so a few extra FTFs. You will have to keep up with cleaning your firearm each time or wipe down ammo before loading magazines

Bill said:
No misfires. Very accurate for a 22.

Robert said:
Grandson used this brand on his third time shooting his new Goat-15 and destroyed the center of the target. And when I say his his third time he has only shot a firearm three times and from day one he was drilling the target good and this brand has been consistent and actually fewer feed issues than CCI, actually only one feed issue vs CCI had more than five.i also feel it is a bit more accurate and kept the group tighter than CCi. At price and good quality this will stay my go to for his ammo.

Shot great, never jammed all around great ammo.

Andrew said:
I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 in order to get the functionality of the AR platform all while using ammo that I can not just afford but really enjoy shooting with. The M&P 15-22 is basically an AR15 just scaled down to a .22LR cartridge, all of the classic AR functionality still exists and works, no "fake" switches or levers here, it operates very much the same as your average AR just with .22LR so you can not only shoot all day but enjoy it too at a fraction of the price you would if you were shooting 5.56 I absolutely love the rifle and Ammo.com is the best place to get high quality bulk ammo at the best available prices. I plan on continuing to use them to stock up so I can spend more time at the range and less time worrying about affording ammo.

Matthew said:
If you look at the 3rd picture (sure wish I did before I purchased) you will see how filthy the cases are and how poorly aligned the bullets are. I can tell you the boxes I got are at least that bad. Wish I had paid a few bucks more for something better. My Sig P322 has a 20%+ failure rate with this trash. It does better in my Smith & Wesson MP 15-22, but still not great. Maybe in a revolver or bolt action it might not suck so bad for plinking?

Got a varmint problem on the farm. Now I have less of a problem. Loading into a smith and Wesson 22cal Hammond gun. 10 round clip. No jamming. No miss fires. Will buy again.

TOM said:
BEST OF THE INEXPENSIVE AMMOS THAT I HAVE TRIED IN MY SAVAGE MARK 2. CONSISTENTLY SHOT AROUND 3/4 INCH GROUP AT FIFTY YARDS AND MOST WERE CLOSER THAN THAT. ,PRICE RIGHT, QUALITY GOOD. MORE ACCURATE THAN MORE EXPENSICE AMMO IN MY GUN AT LEAST. SINCERELY, TBA

Excellent service

Sparlash said:
All of the rounds in the 555 box had spinning bullets loosely crimped. The results are erratic velocity readings and failures to load and eject. I am very fearful of getting a squib. I shoot a Taurus TX 22. I will save this stuff for my single action Ruger single six revolver where I can shoot slowly and react to a misfire or squib unlike shooting quickly in a semi auto.
-
Crafter said:
Rounds poorly made. Bullets spin and bend inside casing. CCI rounds are rock solid by comparison. These rounds jam frequently, have multiple duds per magazine, and are generally unreliable. Not happy with my purchase and will not ever purchase again.
-
Froggo said:
I have shot the entire box of these with zero malfunctions. All my 22 pistols - even the finicky Firefly & Bersa Thunder eat it up. Great stuff!
-
red said:
bought to cover me in case we can't get anymore do till i can get some more in case of zombies, not to just casually shoot
-
CowwFace said:
Bought 1000 rounds of this to take to the range. We went through about 100 rounds in 2 AR's and zero duds. Perfect feeding, no jamming in either rifle. Using Red Dot sights hit what you pointed the dangerous end at. I would highly recommend this ammo. Tractor on

Quality product

Henry said:
The round performed better than expected for a bulk low grain. High percentage of sure fire even after 100 rounds into session. The value was good and I would recommend this product for routine practice shooting.

Izzy said:
I live in a rocky desert terrain and any ball rounds will bounce and make that noise we all know after a ricochet has occurred. These hollow point round explode on impact when hitting a rock or even the hard ground but blow the guts out of any rabbit it hits. When trying to reduce ricochets and kill rabbits, the Federal hollows are my favorite. A quality round where a box of 550 might have less than a handful that fail to fire. Easy to load in a magazine, tube or revolver. Great for plinking and target practice. A must have for novice and experts a like.

Excellent service and quality product. Highly recommended to all my friends

Dale said:
These are good shells, and high quality from a name you know. Pretty good valve as well, so you can probably afford to shoot all day!

Reginald said:
Not bad performs as it should. Im satisfied with the performance so far. No misfires yet although I haven't shot too much but ill do another review if I run into issues. Shot a couple hundred out of my bolt action

alot of missfires&some of the shells were bent

I've already had several (over 70) misfires (4 boxes in) from 5 types of guns = did not expect that.

These 22LR are clean firing, no duds, and no jams. Buy in bulk is the way to go.

Ammo is accurate and had zero issues running it through two different 22s.

I enjoy trying different ammo and the Armscor worked well with my Glock, Ruger and Volquartsen. Stellar service from ammo.com.

red-one said:
I have shot 4000 rounds thru Ruger 10/22, Ruger MK IV, Smith & Wesson auto pistol, M&P, 3 different 1911 22 pistols all automatic only had 3 fail to fire and 2 fail to feed total. I had no issues with running complete mags fast or slow fire drills. But like all 22 ammo, was a little dirty after the first 500 rds, but did not seem to affect the performance. For the price very dependable.
-
Gary said:
First 5000 I bought were of,poor quality. !3 out of 50 failure to fire in four different weapons. Sent back to factory, received 5000 replacements. Have fired 3000 +-throught a Marlin 60, Ruger 10/22. Browning Buckmark, Stevens 87H. One failure to fire. Cleanliness was as expected. Dontb think there is any .22 rimfire ammo that is really "clean".
-
Christopher said:
I got these thinking it was going to be great for my new Ruger 10/22 backed on reviews. However I was hugely disappointed. Ever round got hung up feeding one way or another. The only time it would successfully rack a round is when the bolt had enough force to shear off a part of the lead tip leaving large chunks behind. Out of 100 rounds used so far (of the 1000 bought :( I could not go though a full factory 10rd magazine without multiple failure to feeds. Would not recommend.. will not buy again.
-
David said:
Others that I have used tend to get hung up when ejecting. Every time I use these rounds they all eject perfectly.

First off, I cannot say enough nice things about the service given to me by ammo.com and I intend on buying as much ammo as I need from this seller. As far as the ammo itself goes, I fired all 500 rounds divided between 4 auto-loaders, 3 lever action and 3 bolt action rifles, all scoped and all from 105 measured yards at a range. I am very impressed with how clean this ammo shoots. I am a clean freak where firearms are concerned and it takes some doing to impress me where cleanliness is concerned on .22 ammo. As far as accuracy goes, for measured groups, I fired 4, 5 shot groups with each rifle. The average measurement of the bolt action rifles was 5/16 of an inch. The lever actions averaged 7/16 of an inch and the auto-loaders averaged 3/4 of an inch. I never had a single misfire out of the 500. I fired the ammo in 2 Henry and 1 Marlin lever action rifles. I fired the ammo in a 1937 Mossberg model 46A, a 1946 model Remington 510 Target Master and a 2013 Ruger model 77/22 - all 3 bolt guns. I fired the ammo in 2 Ruger 10/22 auto-loaders, 1 Marlin model 60 auto-loader and 1 Remington Nylon 66. Here is where my only complaint with this ammo lies. The ammo does not produce enough chamber pressure to cycle the bolts on these semi-auto rifles. They either stovepipe or fail to force the bolt back far enough to cycle the next round into the chamber. Again, I am a clean freak with my firearms and I remove the bolts and clean the entire receiver after each range/hunting session. I cannot say what the ammo will do in a semi-auto pistol as it has been nearly 20 years since I owned one and it was not worth my time to drive 50 miles to borrow a Buckmark from a friend.

EP said:
Very happy with the ammo. My son ran probably 100 rounds through his Ruger 10/22 with out any jams. Had a problem in the past with the (big box store) ammo jamming up when using the large after market mags. Fast delivery as well. We'll be repeat customers for sure.

Sigadvantage said:
Bought two of these trouble in all of my 22 lr firearms even revolvers and bolt actions. About 4 percent are bad either oversized or failure to fire. Good to practice failure drills though. Hoping these will have marked improvement with the CCI buyout of Remington ammunition. YMMV

Sabre52 said:
Have shot about 500 rounds of this stuff through Ruger semi auto pistols and a S&W revolver. With the Ruger I experienced many fails to extract, FTF, stovepipes etc. As another guy mentioned, the powder loads seem very inconsistent, some loud, some quiet, one quite explosive, and a few real smoky and squibby. Accuracy OK with the ones that sounded the same, terrible with the weird ones. In the revolver the main complaint was it took three strikes sometimes to make them shoot at all but accuracy was again OK with the ones that sounded the same. Both these guns work fine with CCI minimags so I'm sure it's an ammo issue.

Bought 2 buckets of 1,400 each and thought it was a Great value if you have the time to wipe clean bur and or separate poor quality manufactured bullets from the Rest. I learned the hard way that lots of ammo had still bur and that the reason why my m&p 15-22 rifle kept jamming. I definitely don’t recommend this for a semiautomatic rifle. After carefully separating the ones with bur my SR 22 and others worked decently with jams here and there.

Right out of the gate, it's packaged much better than most others. It's clean and not waxy or sticky which I have had with other ammo. None of the rounds are deformed or questionable telling me the QC is better tool. You won't be disappointed with this ammo.
