Armscore 22LR Bolt Action Only ammo

[chief38]

IMO just another way to sell "something new". IMHO stick with the standard velocity or sub sonic fodder - same deal and probably better ammo. Every so often some manufacturer does come up with something that is needed or desired and sticks around for a long while (ie: the Velocitor, super high velocity 22 ammo). In this case, I think not.

A few years ago the local range was the site of "The Masters" put on by Guns magazine. Some of us helped running the shooting stations. I was on the .22 firing point with some friends keeping things going for the shooters. Initially we used CCI Mini mags. When we ran out of the two cases of CCI they were shooting, we switched. We switched to Armscor........it is/was the dirtiest ammo that I have ever seen. Seems like we scrubbed our hands for two days to get them clean!

 

[THE PILGRIM]

A while back my Bro was invited to go White Wing Dove Hunting in Mexico.
He was told to bring two Shotguns, no shells.
Shells were furnished by the Ranch.
He took two Remington 1100s, a 12 and a 20.
The shells turned out to be Mexican Made Remington and they were extremely Dirty!
He didn't make it through the first day. Those Shells took out the Gas Seals in both 1100s.
The next day he went out with a Buddy's Over-Under.

Maybe the 'Bolt action Only' ammo is heavily greased/lubed.
The outside lubed .22rf in that fashion will make a semiauto fail to feed/chamber quite often as the heavy lube builds up and stalls the chambering.

Bolt actions have no issue with it of course.
Most Match .22rf ammo was made that way in the not so distant past.
Pistol Match shooters used to wipe the extra lube from the loaded rounds with a slighty oily cloth/rag to remove the heavy factory lube but leave enough to prevent leading during shooting in their semiauto target guns.
Going back a ways with that,,but that's what comes to mind.

Seems crazy to make 'For Bolt action Only' ammo in todays market unless it is extreme high quality Target ammo.
But who knows what they have and are marketing.,,maybe it's just that. A marketing scheme to make people think it's something special for the Ninja Sniper types out there.
The ammo makers made a lot of money a few years back selling ammo boxed up as Zombie killing ammo.

Just my Thoughts..

During one of the 22 lr shortages, bought a case of Armscor 22 lr Lhp's. They were higher velocity and thick coating on the bullets. Would gum up Ruger Mark II fairly quickly, and hard to clean after shooting in revolver. Decent accuracy, occasional misfire and filthy. At the time could not find any Armscor plated 22 lr. Still have a couple of bricks somewhere, but will only use it if i run out again.

Not priced low enough for the dirty junk ammo it is, only good for the grandkids to waste.
