How to Choose the Right Ammunition for Your Firearm?
Sonic Tension Wave: The sonic strain wave is the high-extent wave spreading from the effect point.
Impermanent Cavitations: Brief cavitation alludes to motor energy move to the encompassing tissues. The harm to the tissues relies on as far as possible. The liver, spleen, and other liquid filled organs are vulnerable to such components. On the other side, muscle, lung, and inside tissues are more safe. On the off chance that the bullet extends, motor energy move will be greatly improved. Thus, the volume of brief cavitation will increment. Transitory cavitation is more critical in high-speed and high-energy shots.
Extremely durable Cavitation: Long-lasting cavitation is the volume of delicate tissue forever obliterated by the shot. The breadth and the front facing surface region influence the extremely durable depression width. The bullets' caliber, shape, and arrangement are basic in long-lasting cavitation.
Infiltration: Entrance alludes to the medium through which the bullet passes before it rests or exits. At the point when tried on aligned weapons gelatin, a bullet ought to infiltrate up to 12 inches, which is standard for the end goal of testing. 15 inches is the ideal infiltration profundity, and 18 inches is the greatest. Infiltration is important for incurring a crippling injury. Notwithstanding, it could bring about inadvertent blow-back assuming it's excessively profound. There have been cases where individuals have been harmed harshly, while some have passed on.
Barrel Length Barrel length has a huge impact in choosing ammunition for handguns. Jacketed empty focuses accompany an extension edge, the base speed required for solid development. In more limited barrels, similar to the ones on a Smith and Wesson gun, the gag speed is deficient to meet the extension edge of +P extending and standard strain bullets.
It prompts untrustworthy extension in the delicate tissues, consequently limiting the terminal execution of the ammo. To investigate this issue, utilize sharp-shoulder and level nose bullets. Dissimilar to adjust nose bullets, level nose bullets are bound to squash a tissue.
Picking the Best Shotgun Ammo There are three unique sorts of shotgun ammo, on the whole, we should talk about what to search for in shotgun ammunition.
Check: Check is a metric that actions the shotgun size and the barrel breadth. As opposed to prevalent thinking, the check isn't the proportion of the length however the heaviness of the shell. The expression "check" comes from how guns were estimated by the heaviness of the cannonball. 12-Check shotguns use around that is 1/twelfth of a pound. Check out cci br4 primers.
Shot: Shots are the pellets in the shell that spread when a shotgun is discharged. These pellets are numbered by their size. Birdshot is the littlest, while buckshot is the biggest. The pellets are estimated by their distance across. As the name proposes, birdshot is utilized for hunting more modest creatures like birds, bunnies, and squirrels. It is additionally utilized in sports like skeet-shooting, and certain individuals use it on bugs like snakes and reptiles. The quantity of pellets in birdshot relies on the size of the pellet and the size of the shell. For instance, 2.75-inch 12 check shell contains 97 pellets for a #2 shot. In any case, for a #9 shot, there are 715 pellets.
Like shotshells, the number related with birdshot sizes is inverse of the typical numbers. For instance, #2 shots are bigger than #9 shots. A few normal sizes for birdshot are #7, #7.5, #8 and #9. These sizes are referenced on the bundling of the shotshells. The typical scope of the birdshot is 40 yards.

Hard to Beat Old Rimfire Plinking
There’s just something about getting back to our beginnings and breaking out the old rimfire rifles for some old fashioned plinking. The vast majority of us shot rimfires as probably the first firearm we ever had a chance to shoot and become familiar with. There’s probably more rimfire firearms in the world than any other and they sure have a lot of usefulness other than occasional plinking. They’re usually very reasonably priced and the ammo to shoot them is most definitely the easiest to find and also the most affordable. I love shooting old rimfire rifles any opportunity I can get and this was one of those days.
Recently I had the chance to do some work on a couple of old rimfire rifles that belonged to family members. Both of them had a lot of surface rust and in need of a decent cleaning. One of them also needed a good stock refinish. The first one was a J.C. Higgins Model 43 that had belonged to my father. It’s a .22 long rifle bolt action fed from a tube style magazine. My sister inherited it and I hadn’t shot it since I was very young. It has probably the best looking wood I’ve ever seen. I used Birchwood Casey Tru Oil I picked up from Brownells to re-finish the stock. For the metal, 0000 bronze wool saturated with oil did the trick on the metal. This rifle is an accurate plinker. I was shooting CCI standard velocity out to about 20 yards or so at a small rimfire resetting target with 2 inch plates. I was very happy with how it performed overall. Accuracy was spot on. The bolt sometimes is very stiff, but this is a somewhat cheap box store kind of rifle despite how nice it looks.
The second rifle belonged to my brother in law and this was an older Remington 581 magazine fed bolt action .22 long rifle. The metal needed the same treatment as the J.C. Higgins and it cleaned up quite nicely. The stock on the other hand just needed an oil rub down to get it looking like new again. It’s not a fancy stock, but appears to be some sort of birchwood with a dull finish, not glossy at all. The detachable box magazine held 6 rounds and boy was this rifle accurate! I was able to hit my targets much easier it seemed. Shooting this Remington 581 has me thinking I should try and add one to my collection at some point…it’s such a nice rifle.
After the day was finished and both rifles were successful at their range outing and testing, I wiped them down and put them back into their case to bring them to their owners. Very sad to see each of these rifles head back home, but also happy to have been a part of their lives and bringing them both back into good condition. Be sure to check out Brownells for the stuff you need to revive old rifles like these. Hopefully I’ll be able to shoot both of these rifles again some day down the road.

What Type Of Ammunition Is Best For Hunting Squirrels
Did you know some ammo, like the CCI Stinger, only drops less than 2 inches up to 107 yards? This shows how important it is to pick the right ammo for hunting squirrels. We’ll look at the best ammo options, their effectiveness, and what they cost. I aim to guide you through the many choices out there. Choosing between the 22 LR for close shots or the 17 HMR for longer ones can make a big…

when was 11 percussion cap invented
History of the #11 percussion cap ignition system
Introduction I created this web page to organize 19th century information about the transition from flint to percussion cap ignition so I could better understand the long rifles produced in the Pennsylvania counties of Bedford and Somerset. As with any new technology, the adoption of the percussion cap occured at differing times and rates around the world. The materials included below help to illuminate the transition to 10 percussion cap ignition in Great Britain and portions of the United States.
There have been competing claims as to who invented the cci percussion cap. This web page does not resolve that question, but it does provide insights about some of the contenders. In my opinion, the most likely inventor appears to be Joshua Shaw.
L. Dietle, March 2023
1807–1821: Chapter II of the 1898 book “The Evolution of Modern Small Arms and Ammunition” provides a concise summary of the percussion ignition technology of Alexander Forsyth, Joseph Manton, and William Westley Richards that preceded Joshua Shaw’s 1822 percussion gun patent.
Circa 1814: Report №1375 of the House of Representatives from the 53rd Congress (1893–1894) is titled “Heirs or Assigns of Joshua Shaw”. The first page of the report states, “About the year 1814 Joshua Shaw invented the instrument known, and subsequently used thoughout the civilized world, as the patent diamond used by glaziers for cutting glass. About this time his attention was directed to the application and use of percussion or fulminating powders. He originated through chemical means and manipulations an entirely new material, free from the corrosive properties of those in use at the time. After repeated experiments he invented and introduced the percussion cap and lock for small arms, which in a short time, from its intrinsic value, was pretty generally adopted throughout the world and almost superseded the one previously used.” Page 6 of the report states, “The first important question involved in this inquiry is, Was Joshua Shaw the original and bona fide inventor? To this we answer without hesitation that he was.” That conclusion seems to rest on a quote from Henry Wilkinson’s 1841 British book “Engines of War” regarding the invention of copper caps that states, “It becomes, therefore, an interesting inquiry to ascertain who really was the inventor. The late Mr. Joseph Egg, and several other persons, lay claim to it; but I have taken some pains to ascertain the truth, and, if in error, shall be obliged by better information upon this or any other subject. Mr. Egg, I believe, purchased it from Mr. Roantree, a gun-maker at horizon hunters, Durham, who had it from a workman employed by Mr. Joshua Shaw, now residing at Philadelphia. I can trace it no further.” A posthumous article about Joshua Shaw’s life was published in the August 7, 1869 issue of the “Scientific American”.
In a section about percussion arms in his 1841 book “Engines of War” (London) Henry Wilkinson also stated, “Mr. Shaw assured me that in 1814 he invented a steel cap, which, when fired, was retained to be primed again; that in 1815 he made a pewter cap, which was thrown away after using; and lastly, that in 1816 he used a copper cap precisely similar to those at present employed.”
The Henry Wilkinson quote in House Report №1375 references Mr. Egg, who was a London gunmaker. The trade labels attached to the underside of the lid of some of Joseph Egg’s cased pistols included three groupings of words that, when considered together in sequence, read, ”By His Majesty’s Royal Letters Patent for the detonating self primer inventor of the copper cap.” The wording of the trade label seems to be claiming that by virtue of his patent for the detonating self primer, Joseph Egg was the inventor of the copper percussion cap. The only patent issued to Joseph Egg before Joshua Shaw’s June 19, 1822 percussion gun patent that I know of was for an upside-down flintlock (British Patent №3676, March 30, 1813). Joseph Egg’s November 26, 1822 Britsh patent no. 4727 is titled, “Certain improvements in the construction of guns and fire-arms, upon the self priming and detonating principle”. Click here for an 1854 list of the British patents of William Westley Richards and members of the Egg, Manton, and Rowntree families (there are no Roantree patents listed).
1814: A September 15, 1827 letter from Joshua Shaw about testing gunpowder was published in Volume IV of “The Franklin Journal, and American Mechanics’ Magazine”. In the letter, Joshua Shaw states, “I constructed this apparatus in the year 1814; my principal object was to test the advantages afforded by using, with the percussion gun, the copper caps, or primers, which I had then invented.”
1818: In 1818, Collinson Hall won a silver medal for a percussion conversion of a flintlock firearm that incorporates a drum with a nipple and a mating hammer with a hollow nose that engages the nipple. Instead of a percussion cap, the illustration of the Hall invention shows the use of a pellet of detonating powder that “is fixed in the centre of a small round piece of paper covered with wax.” and affixed to the hollow nose of the hammer. The medal was awarded by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce (London).
1818–1820: The “Percussion Caps” chapter of the 1909 book “The Rise and Progress of the British Explosives Industry” states, “On the 20th July, 1818, Prelat, a Paris gunmaker, patented a hollow cock and a conical nipple, which was charged by dropping a few grains of fulminate of mercury into the cavity of the cock. On the 28th July, 1820, he filed a certificate of addition, in which a flanged copper cap charged with a secret composition is substituted. A month later, Deboubert, also a Paris gunmaker, patented a cylindrical copper cap charged with fulminate of silver. Both these patents are believed to be merely copies or modifications of models made by the London gunmakers.” The chapter also provides a wealth of other information about the history of the development of percussion ignition.
1819: An August 4, 1819 document from “Kingston, Upper Canada” is included as a chapter titled “Rifle Shooting, by an American Gentleman” in the 1841 book “The sportsman in France…” While not dispositive, a footnote on page 214 states, “The copper cap and nipple were not known in America when this paper was written.” The only Kingston I know of in Canada is located about 56 miles north of Oswego, New York.
Circa 1820 to 1823: In a section titled “The Percussion Gun” in his 1823 British book “The Shooter’s Companion” T.B. Johnson indicated he had used the copper cap plan for three seasons and found it superior in every point of view and concludes that, “Copper cap guns will unquestionably become general…” These remarks indicate that percussion cap guns had already been available in Great Britian for at least three years in 1823, but were not yet ubiquitous.
1821: John James Audubon left at least two written accounts of encountering a percussion cap firearm during an 1821 visit at the home of an artist in New Orleans. In Chapter VII of an 1875 book edited by his widow that was titled “The Life of John James Audubon the Naturalist”, Audubon stated, “…he prosecuted his work vigorously and afterwards asked me to examine a percussion lock on his gun, a novelty to me at the time. He snapped some caps…” A longer version of the story is included in a section titled “The Original Painter” in Volume II of John James Audubon’s 1832 book “Ornithological Biography”. In the story, Audubon stated, “So saying, the artist took up his palet, [sic] and was searching for a rest-stick; but not finding the one with which he usually supported his hand, he drew the rod of a gun, and was about to sit, when he suddenly threw down his implements on the table, and, taking the gun, walked to me and asked if ‘I had ever seen a percussion-lock.’ I had not, for that improvement was not yet in vogue. He not only explained the superiority of the lock in question, but undertook to prove that it was capable of acting effectually under water. The bell was rung, a flat basin of water was produced, the gun was charged with powder, and the lock fairly immersed. The report terrified the birds, causing them to beat against the gilded walls of their prisons.” A section titled “Our Painters” in the December 1868 issue of “The Atlantic Monthly” indicates that the eccentric painter Audubon described was John Wesley Jarvis. According to entries in his journal Audubon “paid a visit to Jarvis” on January 9, 1821, then “walked to Jarvis the Painter and shewed him some of my Drawings” on January 13, 1821, and again “Went to Jarvis” on January 14, 1821. The January 13 and January 14 journal entries reference Jarvis’s eccentricity. (Bill Paton made me aware of this Audubon percussion cap gun story by forwarding a copy of it from “Volume II” of the 1897 book “Audubon and His Journals” — a book that was edited by Audubon’s grandaughter.)
1822: The immigrant Joshua Shaw’s 1822 percussion firearm-related patent was lost in the 1836 fire at the United States Patent Office, and exactly what it described is a mystery. The following excerpt from the 1823 book “A list of patents granted by the United States…” references Shaw’s patent:

Powder shortage will soon be here.
Referencing current world events, my take is this:
Vista Outdoor sold ammunition component companies to Czech
Companies include powder manufacture Alliant Powders and primer manufacture CCI/Federal and Remington along with brass/bullet manufacturer Federal/Speer/Remington
CSG is a large defense/military contract company and also owns Fiocchi
As war in Ukraine and threat to NATO by Russia continue, demand for defense/military small arms munitions likely increased
Note that message from Vista Outdoor posted by PV says, "Alliant Powder canisters has been suspended"
What is "canister" powder?
Canister powder is what is manufactured for retail sale to reloaders while keeping powder burn characteristics exact/close to published load data

How Proper Ammunition Storage and Handling is Important?
Looking for safe tips to store your ammunition with adequate care? Here’s what you’ll need to do! The life of your ammo and the security of those around depend on proper ammunition handling and storage.
Whether you’re an experienced shooter or a beginner, knowing how to handle and store your ammo properly may significantly affect how well it performs and how safe your shooting experience is. The significance of appropriate ammunition handling and storage will be the primary subject of this blog, with a focus on CCI 250 and CCI 200 Primers in particular.
The Role of Primers in Ammunition
A crucial part of ammunition is primers. They are the small but powerful ignition source that starts the powder charge and sets off the cartridge’s ignition. Primer production under the CCI (Cascade Cartridge Inc.) brand is renowned for its excellence. For huge magnum rifle rounds, CCI 250 Primers are specifically developed to provide dependable ignition even under difficult circumstances. On the other hand, regular and magnum pistol loads use CCI 200 primer. For a weapon to operate effectively and consistently, these primers are necessary.
Storage Considerations
It is crucial to store ammo properly to preserve its efficiency and avoid any risks. Here are some essential pointers to keep your ammo in prime condition:
Dry and Cool Environment: Ammunition should be kept in a dry, cold and adequately conditioned environment. Corrosion caused by humidity has the ability to harm the primer and the overall effectiveness of the ammo.
Ammunition Containers: Investing in top-notch ammunition containers will help shield your ammunition from deterioration and dampness. Metal or plastic packages with a seal are great alternatives.
Keep Ammunition Off the Floor: Store your ammunition flooring to avoid coming into touch with a possibly wet or chilly floor.
Organize and Rotate: Use older ammunition before more recent purchases, according to the “first in, first out” rule. This ensures the freshness of your bullets.
Handling Ammunition Safely
Safe ammunition processing is crucial for both your own safety and the protection of others around you. Here are some essential rules to remember.
Always Handle Ammunition as Live: Handle cartridges with the same care you would with live ammunition, even if you think they are inert or have a spent primer.
Avoid Harsh Handling: The primer’s dependability can be impacted by falling or harsh handling, which might harm it.
No Smoking or Open Flames: Keep any possible sources of ignition away from the location where you store your ammunition. Abide by the guidelines made by the firearm’s vendor about the kind and caliber of your ammunition that is permitted.
Use Eye and Ear Protection: In order to safeguard yourself from possible primary-related injuries, always wear the proper iron air shields while shooting.
Conclusion
Maintaining your ammo's efficacy and guaranteeing your own protection and the safety of others around you requires proper handling and storage of your ammunition.
Aim Ammo dealing with CCI 250 and CCI 200 primers and other broad array of ammunition, suggests they need particular consideration. Following the aforementioned handling and storage advice from Aim Ammo will not only help your ammunition last longer, but it will also make shooting venues safer for everyone. Always put safety first, and enjoy shooting!

How to Shoot a Handgun
Regardless of what Hollywood would have you accept, firing a handgun with accuracy requires equilibrium, procedure, and practice. Regardless of whether you're an accomplished shooter of long firearms, firing a handgun precisely requires an alternate arrangement of abilities. Peruse on for a fundamental introduction on handgun wellbeing and exactness.
Things You Ought to Be aware Safeguard yourself with earplugs and security goggles. Make sure to continuously remain mindful of your environmental factors while you're firing a firearm.
Hold the weapon in your predominant hand and consistent the firearm with your free hand.
Face your objective and stand with your feet shoulder-width separated. Move forward with your non-predominant foot to stun your position.
To point, adjust the front sight to the back sight until the objective comes into center. Pull the trigger gradually in one smooth, controlled movement.
Know the right type for your weapon
Gain proficiency with the distinction between a gun and a self-loader gun. These are the two essential kinds of handguns. The handguns you would find in a cattle rustler film are pistols. The cartridges in a pistol are stacked into a chamber in the casing of the weapon. A limit of six is most normal however some hold five and are intended to fit more modest hands. A self-loader gun has a sliding system at the highest point of the handgun and a magazine of pre-stacked ammunition in the handle. Activity of each kind of handgun vary somewhat so it's critical to characterize terms prior to dealing with a firearm plainly.
Pistols have a spinning chamber for holding the ammunition. The ammunition is stacked into the chamber, then the chamber swings into the gun and it is prepared to discharge. After a shot is discharged, the chamber pivots and lines up the following cartridge in accordance with the shooting pin. Most guns can be shot in a twofold activity mode which is pulling the trigger which turns the mallet until it falls and discharge the cartridge. Moreover, the mallet can be maneuvered once more into position before the trigger is pulled, this outcomes in a lot lighter trigger force and further develops precision. To recover the spent cartridges, the chamber is pivoted outwards permitting the unfilled ammunitions to be eliminated.
A self-loader gun propels every cartridge into the chamber from the magazine. It then, at that point, discharges the unfilled cartridge after it has been terminated. The slide on the highest point of the weapon is utilized to propel the initial shell into the chamber, and can be secured in the back position with a button or nail aside. The removable magazine is eliminated and stacked independently.
Pick the right handgun and ammunition for your requirements. Handguns come in numerous assortments with an apparently perpetual exhibit of ammunition choices. Additionally, consider your body, hand size and motivation behind your handgun to see as one that is agreeable for you to shoot.
You most likely needn't bother with a .357 Magnum to evaluate sport shooting at the firearm range. Try not to purchase an excessively enormous superior grade weapon on the off chance that you're keen on beginning, and on second thought get a little type dependable firearm, similar to a .22. Converse with vendors and others encountered with firearms for suggestions.
Safeguard your ears and eyes with appropriate wellbeing gear. Earphone style ear assurance and earplugs will safeguard against the commotion of the shots. Security goggles will shield the eyes from flying shells, hot gasses and lead particles that are catapulted from a self-loader handgun. Check out cci 550 primers for sale.
Wear security goggles regardless of whether you as of now wear glasses. Security goggles are intended to safeguard you in a manner your glasses will not.

Practice Makes Perfect
Anything worth doing in life is worth doing right. This is the general consensus among those that are somewhat perfectionists in nature but also subscribe to thinking about what they’re doing and taking thee steps needed to be successful in whatever task they’re involved in. Shooting is truly no different for the majority of people that I’ve encountered in my life time. I know people that shoot multiple times per week if they’re able to find the time and can afford to do so. On the opposite of the spectrum IU do meet people that might only shoot once per year and feel that’s plenty sufficient. Personally, I don’t care what your skillset is, but once per year is not nearly as proficient as one might think. They’re basically fooling themselves.
The majority of my ammo for live fire practice comes from the folks over at Brownells. It’s a couple of times per month that I place an order for some practice ammo. For 9MM I prefer CCI Brass and S&B. 115gr or 124gr it truly doesn’t matter to me so long as it’s quality and goes bang each and every time I pull the trigger. I’ve been regularly going through at least 1 case or so per month especially this past year with some new handguns I’ve been spending a lot of time with, not just for practice but also to help do a thorough review and evaluation of the firearm. As such I’ve been getting a lot more trigger time AND practice than I typically would and can definitely see the difference in my shooting overall as of late. For rifle ammo and more specifically 5.56 or .223 my go to has been one of the PMC varieties in recent years. Very high quality and the brass is good for reloading too. Brownells tends to have some in stock most of the time so long as there isn’t some sort of a panic ensuing. But I will say that I’ve been spending a ton more time pistol shooting rather than rifle shooting the past 6 months especially. It’s funny when I think about it since I’ve always considered myself more of a rifle shooter than a pistol shooter, but lately I’ve stepped up my game and feel much more confident as a pistol shooter. Interesting just how that’s been working out for me.
Now I saw all this not to discourage dry fire practice. Dry fire practice is definitely a tool to keep you proficient in sight alignment and trigger control. Mantis is a great company that offers a variety of dry fire and practice solutions that can help you get more time behind the trigger and also save a ton on ammo. But there’s still no replacement for live fire practice since you now have the elements and recoil aspect of shooting that you have to account for.
So what is the moral of this story exactly? Well the title states practice makes perfect and I’ve been able to experience this wholeheartedly. Make sure you find that time to practice and hone your skills whether it be with dry fire practice supplemented with live fire training or mostly live fire training which has been my preference lately.

Quality 22LR Bulk Ammo Brands
If you’re into plinking or shooting a .22 for any reason - hunting or competition - then buying those little 50 packs might not be the most economical choice.
Especially in this current atmosphere of inflated ammo prices and outright shortages.
In fact, buying 22LR bulk ammo is one of the best ways to get a good deal and save on per-round costs.
So, here are some top brands to buy in bulk.
Federal
Federal Ammunition produces a range of rimfire ammunition and among their top .22LR lines are Federal Premium Champion AutoMatch and Federal Champion .22.
They are loaded into high-quality brass cases, are consistently, reliably primed, and well-known for accuracy and consistency in a wide range of conditions - a big bonus for rimfire shooters.
Norma
If you can find it in bulk, Norma produces very high-quality, reliable .22LR ammo. Norma Tac-22 is a great choice.
Like Federal rimfire ammo, this ammunition is loaded to tight tolerances in high-quality brass cases and utilizes a non-corrosive priming compound.
It is also highly reliable, something that might merit the slightly higher cost.
CCI
CCI might just be the king of rimfire ammunition. Their ammunition is, across the board, reliable, consistent, accurate, and, perhaps most importantly, affordable.
While there is a large range of options to choose from, good options in CCI rimfire ammo include CCI Mini-Mag and CCI Standard Velocity. Both are affordable, reliable, non-corrosive, and accurate, and both deliver consistent performance.
Another great thing about CCI is that they produce such a large range of rimfire ammo, including but not limited to high-velocity rounds, subsonic rounds, and even .22 rimfire shotshell cartridges.
Don’t Pay More for 22LR Bulk Ammo
The main reason to buy 22LR bulk ammo is to save on price. Shop smart and get your .22LR in bulk from a reputable supplier like Bucking Horse Outpost.
They carry .22LR ammo in bulk along with a wide range of other rifle and pistol cartridges. You can learn more via the link above.
Why Is There a .22LR Shortage?
That’s a tough question to answer and there is no easy answer, either. The current shortage goes back to the early 2010s and when people were panic-buying guns and ammo and stockpiling them. Then, during the pandemic years, panic-buying resumed and production facilities were unable to meet demand.
While to some degree the availability of all calibers was affected by the shortage, rimfire ammo was particularly hard-hit. This is because, since rimfire cartridges do not have a primer that is separate from the case, it is procedurally much harder to load rimfire ammo.
Machines that load rimfire ammo can only work to load one specific type of cartridge at a time - whereas machines that load centerfire cartridges can be retooled or recalibrated to load multiple different cartridges within a given window of time.
This has also contributed to the shortage and inflated prices of rimfire ammo, particularly popular cartridges like 22LR ammo.
What Is a Good Price Per Round on .22LR Bulk Ammo?
Again, one of the best reasons to buy 22LR bulk ammo is to save on per-round costs. If you can find a deal that achieves a per-round cost of between 5 and 10 cents, that’s a pretty good deal. Some bulk deals make these prices quite attainable.
