what's your favorite bulk ammo?

[sps282]

Fedderal 550 works good for me in everything except the Sig I used to have...it wouldn't shoot anything but CCI minimags and even had problems with them!

My M&P15-22 eats up Federal 525 round bricks of ammo like a fat kid eating candy and is pretty accurate. I can get a brick of that stuff for 17 dollars at my local gun store so I just stick with that.

Blazer works for me.

I've had good luck for the last twenty years or so with Remington Golden.

My new favorite is the Federal 525. I got 2100 at Cabelas yesterday for $69 and that was with a dry box. If I take out the $15 they charge for the box that comes out to $.026 a shot.

^^^ I wish the closest Cabelas was closer than 200+ miles away

I have used the Federal champion blue box/red box i bout those about 6 years ago. they were 12.99 each for 1000 rounds all togeather... they work flawless.No jams, no ftf, fte. I have also used Old fed 550 pack 36gr from about 10 years, those were good to another 1000. I have used the "New" Federal lighting 40gr again, no ftf, fte's..I finaly broke down and bought a 555 box of Winchester36 copper washed and had 3 ftf's, 1 fte with a double feed.. idk if it me, but i noticed the winchersters are alittle cleaner than the federals..
i also used some 1994 made russian "junior" ammo... doesnt work at all. Ive had so many ftf, fte i didnt even bother to count....my 22/45 will shoot them all day long with minamal ftf's, fte's. in all i have alittle over 6000 rounds threw my rifle. Springs are still stiff, and mags still work great. no mag problems.

Bought mostly Federal AutoMatch lately. Works well.

Bought mostly Federal AutoMatch lately. Works well.

i've used that a few times with no issues as well, just not as good a deal as the copper plated 550 box, so i opt for the bulk.

Federal 550! 1100 rounds and zero feed or fire issues.

Just re the AutoMatch not as 'good as a deal as the Federal Bulk 525' value packs- I mean that is by letter of the definition, correct. But the Federal AutoMatch is of course a higher line of ammo, different price point.

For me at least, AutoMatch was intoduced at Walmart early this year. It was like $14.49 per 325, recently went up to $14.99, and other stores are $15.99- $17.99. Now of course the Federal Bulk 525 is basically the best overall deal in Rimfire- best price AND best quality/consistency for the cheap stuff. AND-- Fed Bulk 525 often has huge deals, Cabeals and the like. I have never been able to take advantge of the great sales, cause I've not had the money when they're available.



The worst part is, my Dad bought him a vacation place campin in the mountains, about 10 mins from the PA Cabelas, the biggest Cabelas there is. You walk in there its just OUT OF THIS WORLD- anf they have a whole ammo section for super deals. 10 different ammos you can get loaded full in the plastic boxes. They had like 6000 rounds of Fed Bulk recently, right next to a few deals of CCI ammo. My Dad bought 3, 500-rd cases of 7.62x39mm for the AK I bought him. Plus they usually have good deals on no-frills, basic premium AE 5.56 brass cased.

I just could EASILY drop $1,000 on a few ammo specials, EASY. Doh!

For me, I'll take Winchester 36 gr. copper plated Hollow points (555 pack).
My rifle just loves them!

Walley World Winchester 555.

My "lil' friends" love CCI Blazer. My local farm supply store had it on sale for $14 with tax per 500. I bought 10 bricks. Very accurate, not too dirty. The first .22lr I bought in bulk was the deal from Cabella's on Federal. 2100 rounds of noisemakers. Doesn't group for poop out of any of my 15-22s. Works all right but I'm blessed in that I haven't had any function issues with any ammo I've ran. Sure, you're going to get a FTfire issue once in a while but that's the nature of the round.

Bulk 555 pack @ 50yards

Bulk 555 pack @ 50yards

not a bad piece of shooting... but you missed the lighter!
lol - that would be a sweet way to confirm a hit... BOOM!...

"hit"

 

[fuzee]

Haha. My local gunshot sells exploding targets but they require a higher caliber to set off.

I'm spoiled, I can see the bullet holes through the scope out to 120ish...

On topic. I've shot a lot of the federal bulk and had no problems from it either. My gun shoots the 'American Eagle' red box stuff the most accurate.
