Best or most accurate bulk 22LR ammo.

[22-rimfire]

0.38" at 100 yds with irons is pretty amazing with 22LR. I feel pretty good with a group like that at 50 yds and a scope. I think this is a little beyond what the OP is thinking in terms of ammo. But it was nice info.

I am glad you guys can get .22 ammo because where I live bigfoot has been seen more then a brick of 22

Here is more information on how Mr Kemp does it.

He sets up targets, starting at eight feet, puts one up every additional foot, out to 14 feet.

He shoots 10 shot groups and looks for evidence of bullet tipping in each target.

He will shoot from 2000-3000 rounds just setting the tuner on his rifle. Considering the ammunition he is shooting costs somewhere between $1250 and $1900 for 5000, you can see he shoots about $800 in ammunition getting his rifle tuned.

If you want to win, ammunition testing is just part of the process. Wind reading is a must. If you can't read wind, even with the most accurate rifle and ammunition, your score will stink at Camp Perry.

The best bulk ammo is Federal followed by Winchester and with Remington, as always dead last. As far as accuracy you will have to try different ammo to see what your rifle prefers.

 

[HKGuns]

All rifles are different. Find the ammo your rifle likes and keep buying it. Try different brands until one stands out is my advice.

I and two of my rifles prefer CCI Blazer. The other couple aren't too picky, but seem to do better with Federal (talking bulk)
Right now around my area I think you'd have to prefer whatever you can find. I'm down to about 50 Blazers, 1200 Winchester, and 500 CCI. Lately, if you're not in the lgs when they open or put 22lr on the shelf you ain't gettin' none.

My best luck has come from Winchester Dynapoint GT's. The standard-velocity stuff may be just as good.

My Savage MkII likes Blazer, and is also very accurate with Remington Golden Bullets.

 

[22-rimfire]

Don't skip Remington Golden Bullets (New and Improved). Many skip Remington due to past experiences with FTF's, but they have always shot pretty good for HV ammo for me in different rifles.

All my .22's like federal bulk from wal-mart. But the Federal 510A they sell in 50 packs and bricks is better ammo. It is exposed lead with a real nice lube on it. Probably why its in 50 packs and not bulk. and its cheaper than the bulk (550 pack). I'm speculating on that because i have not bought any for awhile as I got in the habit of picking up a brick or two every time I went to wal-mart and have been able to ride out the current shortages.. the best low priced ammo I shoot is Wolf match target. exposed lead with a very nice lube on it, and very little velocity variation from one shot to the next.

Anyway, as you are shooting for testing, shoot about 30 - 40 rounds of ammo before checking for effect. That allows the lube from the previous brand to get cleaned out or the barrel and the new one to take effect. good luck.

I am suprised that is not more comments about CCI mini mag or standard velocity. I have always had good results with these and they seem consistant to me. Maybe they are not bulk though.

 

[Rugerspyderon]

Just buy what you can while you can!

 

[Flopsweat]

My favorite 100 yard .22 rifle likes Federal American Eagle 40gr CPHP better than even the high-priced stuff. The most reliable .22 brand I know of is CCI. Their Mini-Mags never fail to feed, fire or eject in any of my guns or my friends' guns. They are always reasonably accurate and I never have fliers with them.

That said, Rugerspyderon is right.

Mr Kemp tests ammunition early in the morning, before winds pick up, and the rifle is shot from a mechanical rest.

I have been squadded about 50 to 100 points away from Mr Kemp at Perry so I have not seen his prone targets, but Bud's who have, told me he shoots little bug hole groups.

National Champions are a whole different league from duffers like me.

In my 22's, amongst the bulk ammo, CCI standard velocity followed by CCI Blazer for accuracy. Both are available in bulk. I paid $30 at Dicks for the standard velocity bricks, and $20 or so for the Blazer at LGS and Palmetto State.
Tested rifles: 10/22, Marlin 25N bolt action. 25 and 50 yards off sandbags.
Tested pistols: GSG 1911, and River MK II. 15 yards off sandbag.

Federal and Winchester were about the same, both with groups between 1.5x to 2x size of the CCI.

 

[22-rimfire]

I think the Blazer and Federal bulk packs are about equal in accuracy and performance. As you probably know, ATK owns both companies and Federal sometimes loads Blazers for CCI.

My perferred plinking ammo is the Federal Lightnings or Champions (510's) as I generally just prefer the 50-ct boxes over bulk packs in the field.

CCI has come out with a bulk pack of their regular copper plated ammunition in a small plastic ammunition can. They sold out real fast when they first came out for about $99 each.

I'd like to know more about that. For next year, when the hording might be over.

My Mark2 shoots pretty well with CCI SV - I rarely get 5 shot groups larger than 1MOA at 50 yards (~.4in is typical). They open up a bit at 100 yards - probably 1.3MOA for 5 rounds is average, but typically one group out of five is sub-MOA, usually in the .8in range.

I have never tried any top shelf ammo with my Mark2, although I do wonder what it might do with real match ammo.
