I bought a bunch of random bulk 22 ammo over the years and have just gotten around to shooting some of the various brands in higher volumes

I am most impressed with the regular 40gr CCI Blazer 22 high velocity gray and black box that can be had just about anywhere for 5 cents a round or less

I have shot about 1500 rounds of this through a Ruger Mark II and a Browning Buck Mark, only had a couple FTF or FTE and reasonable accuracy/consistency shot to shot

Now for the most disappointing ammo in these same guns was Winchester M-22 (mostly black box) I again fired about 1500 rounds of this stuff in the same guns and experienced a FTF or FTE about every 30-40 rounds or so and accuracy was poor compared to the blazer.

I am going to shoot the Aquila next and see how that compares.

What is your favorite cheap bulk 22 for general plinking?

I’ve been a longtime fan of CCI 22. I’ve shot 710 FPS subs, but prefer the 1070 for most plinking. I run an MP 15-22 and a Savage bolt.

The aguila was ok, at the same price point as the CCI blazer (this is the grey box with 525 round bulk) I will buy the blazer still, at less money, the Aguila would be ok

The one I found to be the best so far is Federal Automatch, over 600 rounds, not a single FTF or FTE
