    What is the best quality 22lr ammo?

    Looking for the best quality 22lr ammo for my new CZ Kadet conversion. Price is not an issue. All opinions are appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Honestly whatever shoots best out of your particular firearm is the best quality. Most CCI offerings will run in anything. For comp or target Wolf mt is popular. Although some firearms run inexpensive ammo more reliably with tighter grouping than high end ammo. I would honestly grab a few different types and try them out and see what works for you. CCI Blazer, CCI mini-mags, Federal bulk pack, etc. My personal preference being Blazer. I would stay away from remington rimfire at the moment as they have suffered bad quality control in recent years. I also shy away from winchester also as they will sometimes have a very underpowered round causing inconsistant groups or a potential squib.

      There are dozens of high end .22lr shells on the market. You'll just have to buy a bunch of them and see what works best in your gun. Try Elley, Wolf, CCI green label, etc. $7-$12/box of 50 is about the going price for good stuff.

        Blazer all types even the cheap stuff. Thats what blazer does the best is .22.

        I run mostly blazer cheap bricks which work great for plinking and target shooting.
        They are very very consistant.
        I've shot just about all brands and i swear i can always hear the lame loads from bad quality control. And I always hear the same boom everytime from blazer.

        I run them through an old .22lr marlin, old sears .22lr, ruger mk 22/45 and S @ W 22A. all work perfect with blazer

        BLAZER CCI number one in .22

                Buy one box of each. Shoot some groups. Whatever runs best in your particular gun, buy a ton of it.

                    Fiocchi and RWS also have offerings in match grade cartridges. My 10/22's like the Eley pretty consistently.
                    9mm and 45acp are equally lousy. There's not a dime's worth of difference in REAL terminal ballistics. Get over it.

                      For plinking you can't beat the Winchester value packs. Normally you will get a few ftf but they are cheap. For reliability and accuracy you can' t beat CCI mini mags. They are only a little more expensive but always go boom.

                        Cant say what's best, but anything that comes in bulk "milk cartons" isn't it.

                          Be careful with that old Marlin if it is an old S Model 39 from the 1920s; the bolt can crack eventually. Shoot only Standard Velocity (1070 or so) if applicable.

                              I really like SK ammo. I used a ton of it in my CZ 452 (they are very accurate with this ammo) and CMMG AR without ever having one failure. I actually wish I had some now for my Kadet... perhaps I'll order some.

                              I particularly like the Standard Plus
