Federal .22lr Bulk Packs

[jedi]

Are the blue wal-mart boxes of .22lr "high velocity"?

 

[Dj15802]

Not sure. 1260fps is what is stated in the specs though.

The red box is 550 rds and the blue is 525 rds that I've seen.

They both show 1,260 fps.

Is there a particular location that led you ask?

Federal Champion, yes.

Yes.

In this thread I'm debating on what to get.

STG-44 in .2lr, progressive press or save the $$$ and go .308.

Well this review of the STG-44

says that using CCI Mini Mag High Velocity in .22lr works well but other .22lr in std. velocity does not as the rifle does not cycle the next round.

CCI Mini Mag High Velocity shown here:
CCI Mini-Mag High Velocity Ammo 22 Long Rifle 36 Grain Plated Lead

is rated at
Ballistics Information:
Muzzle Velocity: 1260 fps
Muzzle Energy: 127 ft. lbs.


So I take it the federal bulk packs will also work with the rifle.


Was going to rule out the STG-44 in .22lr if the Fed Bulk Pack did not work in it as that is what I have & use in my 10/22 since it's cheaper than the CCI mini mag. But alas I'm back at square 1 in trying to rule out of the options. Although The STG-44 is now in #2 place vs the progressive press/.308.

The Winchester M-22 ammo is the closest thing I've found to bulk pack pricing with even close to performance of the CCI.

I like the run the cheapest ammo possible, but the federal bulk pack has not performed even close to any CCI's regardless of what's listed as the velocity.

Just my .

Rimfires can be picky on ammo. Best to get smaller (50rd) packs until you determine what type of ammo your gun likes. Then stock up on whatever works well.

^this and pudy's post make me now say bye-bye STG-44 I'm not willing at this time to have to stock yet another brand of .22lr for a .22 rifle. My 10/22 does well with the federal bulk pack, nice groups, no issues. Had a henry survial before that hated the federal. Only liked rem golden boy. Dirty ammo and i got rid of that riffle. Well guess that means progressive or continue to save.. need to run some more nums.. thanks all.

Now if they did the stg-44 in .223, 7.62-39 heck even .308.

Federal's website has a great option where you can compare different rimfire load #'s. There fps range from 1080 to 1260. I think 1260 is at the higher end but not the top. I saw some "Stingers" the other day that were 1600 FPS. Rimfire guns are particular with ammo. Get a bunch of different brand, weights, fps, and see what yours like best.

I say if you can find em, grab em. They are super scarce from what I've seen.

I now that the federal is not at the top of the velocity arena. But if it helps any my 15-22 recommends high velocity 22lr and the federal blue pack (champion) runs in it like a champ.

Hope that is food for thought.

Thanks for the info. I just scored four 550 rounds boxes of the champion for $80 at Walmart tonight. I have numerous 22's but the 15-22 is the main reason why I bought it. It dosnt take long to shoot when you load fifteen 25 round magazines.

 

[parkerj112]

This is very true. It is probably a very good thing that I have not seen a speed loader for my 15-22 or I would be in the poor house indeed!

In my experience the federal champion bulk packs have run like a champ in everything I've put them in. In my opinion it's the cheapest reliable ammo for a 22lr. I don't ever buy remington 22lr ammo because I get more jams and duds from them. With Federal I hardly ever get a dud or a jam and they shoot accurately. I'm running a 10-22, but I've have similar results comparing ammo reliability in every 22lr I've ever shot. I'm using it in a M&P 22lr pistol and it functions just fine.

What Walmart did you go to? Were there any left?

price

What is a good price for 5000 rounds of 22LR?

 

[Dr_O]

What is a good price for 5000 rounds of 22LR?

For plinking ammo ~$200.

I paid $16.90 + tax at Dunham's for my last brick of Blazers but that was before the madness.

 

[tom1025]

What is a good price for 5000 rounds of 22LR?

I wouldn't give more then $40.00 per thousand.

 

[paperboy]

They run great in everything I shoot them in.....
