Your thought's on Armscor ammo 22lr

[jmills]

Hard to find 22lr ammo so I looked online and found some Armscor. Whats your opinion? Have you used them? Do you recommend them?

Cheap plinking ammo at best. It did not fire reliably for me and seemed underpowered. I bought some a couple of years ago at Midway USA for $24 per brick. I see that Armscor has now changed the package with the same ammo specifications and retailers are asking twice what it used to cost. I would pass!

Tried a box in one of the 10/22's.
Went bang every time, and cycled fine. Just wasn't the most accurate stuff in the world.
I wouldn't go out of my way to look for it, but it was OK plinkin' stuff.

I bought a brick of it 6 months ago, I have shot it in my M&P 15-22, Ruger 22/45, Smith & Wesson 422 and a couple of other guns. Poor results with all guns. Fail to fires, fail to cycle, and not very accurate. If it was the only thing I could fine and it was cheap, I would still probably pass on it.

Never tried their .22,( probably won't after reading the above experiences). I've shot plenty of Armscor centerfire stuff and not one moments trouble.

YMMV.

Rural king gets it in on a regular basis. Its "meh" ammo at a premium price. I bought some just because it was new to me but honestly I'd sooner have remington. Thats not saying much.

I haven't tried the 22 lr, but I have tried some of the 22 mag. I'd only call it so-so ammo, there's much better. Didn't have any problems with it going off, just not all accurate.

Yeah, seen some @ RK last week.........$5.99 for a box of 50. I just giggled and thought to myself RK probably paid .99 cents a box or less. They should call it Armscam.

The wife works there so I get a decent discount or I wouldn't have bought it either

I don't think it's very good 22LR ammo. If this tells you anything - I bought a brick of it over a year ago at a good price, and have shot up three boxes. Since purchasing that ammo, I've probably bought 4500 rounds of other 22LR and shot up or gifted 2000 of them. I would never give the Armscor ammo as a gift. I just got back from Illinois and took 500 rounds to a shooting range with my brother in law, nephews, and my own kids. We took American Eagle, Scorpion, Remington Thunderbolts and Viper.

FTF, FTE, and I'm more accurate than the ammo - and that's saying something! I shoot mostly Ruger 22/45 Lite, 10/22, and an ISSC M22. The rifle eats this stuff the best.
