.22 ammo deal?

[Hoosier49er]

I plan on stocking up and was wondering what's the best deal you guys have found on .22 ammo? Centerfire Systems has 5,000 rounds for $199.99. Anybody found a deal to beat this?

I've found that with .22lr in particular, you need to figure out what brand/load actually runs reliably and accurately in YOUR gun. I'd hate to buy 5k of something only to find out that it didn't work like you had anticipated.

I personally prefer Federal Bulk Pack from Walmart. You can buy a box, make sure it works, and then stock up a little (or a lot) at a time. Plus, at that price, you end up with 500 more rounds and a little less in price, even with taxes. That doesn't take into accout shipping on the deal you linked either, which will probably drive the price higher.

I believe Walmart's price is ~$18.00 for a box of 550 rounds. Add 7% sales tax, and you end up right around $192 for 5500 rounds.

I realize it may not be "high velocity" or "best quality"....but it is the most consistent among all of my rimfires and happens to be very inexpensive, so that is what I stock up on.

In addition to the bulk pack stuff, Walmart has Federal Lightning for less than $2 a box. This is the best cheap ammo on the market in my opinion.

I have had great luck with CCI Blazer.

Bought a case here a couple of weeks ago. $169 per case with free shipping. Hard to beat these days. Was very happy with delivery time.

I have a few hundred thousand of them...

Wow! That's a sweet deal on CCI's! I've never had any problems with those in the past either. I've got a couple of 10/22's. They aren't too picky about what they eat. Thanks for the link indykid.
