    Where to get a variety of standard velocity.22

    Hello , any fellow Calgunners recommend a place where I can get a variety of standard velocity 22lr . I want to give small bore Silhouette a try. Right now I have a few loads from Remington Target and subsonic and a little PMC Target.
    Thanks

    Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.

      I take it you want a 50 round box of several types. There's about 30 to choose from. I also take it you live in CA. That makes a difference to whom I recommend too.

      I'm not going to bother with the cheapest or lowest shipping costs, as you won't find what I consider a well balanced selection at those places. My personal go to place is Sportsman's Guide, but not if you live in CA.

      If you disregard the shipping, probably the best place with the lowest box cost and largest selection is:



      First to do is to get some CCI Standard Velocity. Use this as a base. Then depending upon your bankroll work up. I say bankroll because remember. CCI can and should be had for 8 cpr delivered. Meanwhile, top rate Eley Tenex will be 40+ cpr delivered. You might not care to shoot that stuff. If you can afford it though, you should try one box after all said and done. I personally don't like the stuff, or I should say my guns don't like the stuff.

      For the next tier above CCI, you have to try Norma Tac. Remember, all the stuff I'm about to mention is "greasy" or lubed. I watch for sales to get Norma at or under $50 a brick delivered. Brownell's just had a sale with free shipping, $52.50 a brick, $10 off if you buy two. I'm not saying buy two. Just buy one or two 50 round boxes. You should also try SK Standard Plus. It usually runs a little more than Norma. Also, the SK Standard Plus is made on the same machines with the same components as Wolf Match Target. Another in the same price range is Geco.

      Next I would get a box or two of SK Rifle Match. My guns love it, but to me, it's not worth the added money. The SK Rifle Match is the same as Wolf Match Extra. The Norma Match is supposed to be in this accuracy range.

      I don't care for RWS nor Eley, but many, many do. There are many varieties. Some of them should be on your list.

      Top of my list is Lapua. Midas and Center X. You'll pay for them though.

      Just about every brand and type I mentioned can be had in 50 round boxes at the link above. Remember, it's your gun that decides what's best to shoot. Not you. Also remember batches within the same item vary. Sometimes by a lot. Normally, the higher priced ammo doesn't vary as much as the lower priced stuff. Again, it depends upon what you want to pay.

      Just my two cents. Lots of good shooters out there that will agree and disagree. I think it's fun to shoot a variety of stuff trying to find several that my guns, CZ's by the way, like the best. Enjoy.

        Thanks Sue, I was looking at Gunbroker, but I don't see to much variety. Creedmore Sports has good selection. Now I just need to get the okay from lovely wifey

          And now the bad news.... once you find a load that works for you and your gun, try to find the rest of that lot. Good luck.
