Okay, let's not make this a political discussion. 
I just ordered a 2,100 round metal case/can of Federal Champion from Cabela's. Shipped w/tax it comes to .05 cents per round. Hopefully it shoots well through the 15-22. I'ver read mostly good about it online.

Should fire just fine I buy plenty of it at walmart. I dont get the nice case but it only cost abour 3.5 cents per round.
you have to consider that the ammo can is a $10-15 value so you're really paying closer to 4c/rd. thats still a little more than some of the better deals which are less than 3.5c/rd. either way, i use federal 95% of the time and i love it so congrats.

Just ordered 14 boxes of 375 round bulk packs from Cabela's online yesterday. Free shipping to my local store here in Phoenix and I can pick it up there. $12.99 per box, about .03 per round. Even with sales tax, right at $200.00. Best deal I have seen in a while. I shoot tactical .22 matches at my club and I can't resist stocking up when I find ammo this cheap. Good luck on the ammo hunt.

Been looking for some 550 federal bulk ammo, and finally found 2 at a not-so-local walmart. Paid them a visit and scooped them up, along with 100 rounds .45ACP federal ammo, just in case my LGR doesn't have my preferred ammo. Tomorrow should be fun.
WALMART DOES NOT SUPPORT SHOOTERS!!!! i know its a strange idea that a place where most of us will buy products a few times a week and get a lissens to hunt at wouldnt support us but its just fact. every year more walmarts discontinue their gun departments. they cut back more and more on their ammo as well. hell i have been to SUPER WALLY's who dont have a single gun for sale in them yet have 50 diffrent airsoft ***. this has started to invade their ammo as well. i went to a San Antionio wallmart and couldnt find 9mm, 44 mag, 410, and a few other popular ammo types. just face it walmart is in the pocket of the administration and will keep drinking the coolaid. i mean after all their colors were originally BLUE! (and as far as ammo shortage in .22 lr, i can still buy it at the hardware store for 500 rounds at 18 dollars FED)
I see that Dunn's Sporting goods has their Federal 525 packs back in stock. 10 boxes for $169.99 delivered.

Never had any such problem in over 8k of the stuff through my 15-22. Probably another 20k through other .22s over the past four or five years. Lots of urban myths about Federals and wax that have no basis in fact get posted on the Internet.
If there's a wax buildup of some kind on the bullets or cases, it's most likely caused by improper storage somewhere along the line. The coat is so thin you have to scrape the bullet itself with a fingernail to actually see any wax under normal circumstances.

I was actually thinking that they may have been shipped or stored in an area of excessive heat. Up until this time I never had problems with federals and swore by them. I was just shocked that I could visibly see the wax on many rounds.

I ordered some Federal from CTD last night and received an email this morning stating: We have been notified by our drop ship warehouse that the following item was unable to ship on your order due to depletion of inventory. If payment was made by personal check, money order, or cashiers check, a refund check will follow by mail. If payment was made by credit/debit card, your card will be refunded.
That sux because I had ordered the Federals in addition to some other brands to combine the shipping costs. The shipping for the Federals was only a couple of dollars extra.

This seems to be a really good price for delivered ammo. Did they have timely delivery or were you backordered?

I got mine about 4 days later, although I ordered them a couple weeks ago.
