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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

I SHOT AROUND 250 ROUNDS AT THE RANGE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

William said:
I've heard of bad batches but never witnessed any with 10k rounds bought. I run this is all my plinking guns with no barrel fouling, and just the occasional failure to fire due to bad primer (~1/300). Pistol, rifle or revolver all take this as well as minimag at around .02$ less per round. I'll take a box of 500 and run through it at the range. Runs cleaner than most 22 I've fired too.

I am surprised that Ammo.com is even trying to sell this ammo, winchester has 7 lots on their recall list, with others that I have had issues with. The ammo has issues with overloads in powder. Had one round that ruined my ruger Sr 22. Due to the overloaded round going off in the gun. Strong enough that it blows apart the rimfire from the casing.

Good value based .22LR. Couple of misfires per 100 rounds but could have been losing based or gun.

Joseph said:
Was excited to receive shipment. Upon visit to range liberally 1 out of 3 bullets would jam or just not fire at all. Thank God i keep better ammo for protection.

Joseph said:
Brought this 1000 round bundle. Took to the range. LITERALLY after every 2 or 3 shots it would get jammed and not fire. Loaded magazines 6 different times and same issue every single time.

Dan Young said:
This ammo was of poor quality and it underperformed. I had on average 3-to-4 rounds per 100 that either didn’t fire at all after 3 recycles or else fired after recycling; it appears to be a quality control issue with the rimfire primers. I use a very reliable handgun. The overall accuracy was also sub-par compared to other brands of “best value” .22 rimfire ammo I have used. I won’t purchase this Winchester M 22 ammo again.

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

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.

Good quality great price

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

Bought a brick of this ammo when I purchased a 22 long rifle conversion for my AR. It would not cycle! Also tried it in a AR style 22 rifle. Would not cycle!

6,000 rounds through my Volquartsen without a misfire or dud. Consistent rounds, great price and service thanks to Ammo.com.

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.

I run these through a Ruger 10/22 factory bull barrel. Benched shooting at 100 yards, they print Quarter sized groups.

Ken said:
Bought 1000 rounds from lot 3122-30189, fired approximately 350 and had 5 short rounds from cartridges from 2 different boxes. Trying to prepare for USBR rim fire competition and now not sure I can trust this ammo? Had to rod the barrel to insure I didn't have a squib round, this takes time and deflection from competition.

FC said:
This fires very well and is worth the extra money. If you use 22 cal for self defense buy this one. Never had a misfire with it. This is with the product made in Germany. I haven't tried if from England yet.

Schneider said:
Am very satified with the performance in our rifles: Hope you get some more in before long~~~

Bob said:
Man, the first 12 shots I put in a gun. four of them didn’t fire. And then the next 12 three of them didn’t fire and so on and so forth. Like 20 of them didn’t go off. They were trash.
-
Roger said:
I've only shot 20 rounds and had 8 complete failures. I made sure they were fired by multiple pistols and even 2, 3 or 4 marks on the rims and nothing. Luckily I only bought 3 50rd boxes to try out. I won't be buying these ever again.
