22 Mag Ammo

[Bullshop Junior]

What does a box of 22 Mag ammo cost where you live?
I bought several boxes in the last several days.
CCI Gamepoint 40gr - $13.75
Hornady 30gr V-Max - $13.50
Federal Premium 30gr Speer TNT - $13.00
CCI maxi-Mag 40gr FMJ - $11.75
Federal 50gr JHP - $10.00
Winchester 40gr JHP - $10.00



Just wanted to know if this was a good price, and want to see what prices are around the country.

That is why I do not own any 22 mag guns.

I haven't bought any in the last 6 months but I consider anything in the $11-12 range to be 'reasonable'. I would like to find a little more variety around here. Seems it's mostly the CCI Maxi and Winchesters.

[Super38]

For me, it's cheaper to shoot 9mm than the .22 magnum. Fed 9mm 115fmj - $9.95

Last time I bought, about 6 months ago, Wal Mart had Win Dynapoints for 7.77 a box here in MA. Last few times I checked, they've been out of stock though - Bill L

Check the online suppliers. I base my opinion on their prices.

That's the hard part of living in Gods country, shipping stinks.

[cajun shooter]

The only people who like the shipping charges are the shippers. Bull Jr. the prices you pay are in line with what we pay on the Gulf Coast side of this terra firma.

[j20owner]

That's about the same around here. I don't shoot my .22Mag near as often as I'd like......

Junior the 40JHP winchester is 9.97 WalMart

Well next time I go to wall-mart, I will have to try to get a few boxes. It was the second most accurate in my Ruger Single-Six. The most accurate was the CCI 40gr Maxi-Mag FMJ so far. The most penetration was the Hornady 30gr V-Max, and the best expansion was the Federal 30gr TNT. I just found the base of the bullet about 1/2" in the wood block when I cut it open.

I did not for a long time. I hope to make my Single Six a center fire in the near future.

Locally they run $10-$15 per box/50...if you can find them. I asked about a place to find some on another forum that I frequent. One of the members replied that he had some that he no longer needed. Long story short...$150 for 3 bricks.

I relieved him of them.

I can't mail order it. I live in Alaska.

I didn't realize the other problems you must face with that.
The prices you posted in your original comment aren't too far out of line with what I've seen at local Texas retail dealers, some higher and some lower.
What's the sales tax situation for you? We have 6.25% State, and up to 2% Local sales taxes, and the locals always seem to add their maximum bite.

No sales tax.

Can you ship ammo USPS?

I don't have anything to shoot Mags in anymore and have some left. I may trade it off if shipping isn't a killer.

[geargnasher]

B.Jr, convert your SS to which centerfire?

Those prices are less than at my local gun store by a dollar or two, but they are always 20% or so higher than "warehouse" prices on ammo and guns.

That's a NO. Regards, Woody

Me either. Or a 17 HMR, or anything that I HAVE to buy ammo for.

Get thee a 32-20...

[Heavy lead]

If you can find it buy some Fiocchi 22 mag softpoints, at least for me this is the only 22 mag I've ever had that will shoot moa, and that"s out of a 94/22, the rest is all at least twice that. it is also cheaper if you can find it.

[shooting on a shoestring]

Just have to brag. An Aunt of mine had a short marriage to a lawyer who had a ranch in New Mexico, complete with gongs setup at about 50 and 100 yds off his front porch. While visiting them one day and shooting the gongs with my Single Six, my then Uncle, blessed me with a ammo box full of WW .22 Mags, 1/2 HPs and 1/2 solids. He recieved them as partial payment for a lawyer bill someone owed him, and he didn't have a use or care for them. I did....all 40 something boxes. That was in the early 80's and I still have 4 or 5 boxes left.

I don't shoot that .22 Mag hardly ever, just b/c I don't want to buy the ammo. However, I do like the pop and fizz of .22 Mag. I wish I could reload for that caliber. Now days I shoot .38 spl instead.

Thats a NO NO.

[softpoint]

You can ship ammo UPS. You tell them what it is and they label it as such, Then you have to pay a little extra for "adult signature required" You MUST go to a UPS terminal, those pack-and -mail centers won't do it . Some states have state laws prohibiting shipment to them, though. I've done it a good many times, and recently.:coffeecom

Just wanted to comment on that Federal stock number 757 22WMR 50 gr jhp.

That is the most consistent 22wmr ammo I've ever used in my Savage 93fvss.
It gives me very tight groups off a rest and bench.
Your ammo is cheaper than my ammo straight across the board. I'm averaging 14 to 16 bucks a box for ir here. WHEN I can even find it! Plenty of 22LR around, but 22wmr is getting to be about as rare as hens teeth.

They where plentiful here, until about 2 days ago..........

I got a box of them........

The best in my gun (Ruger Single Six) was the Federal Premium loaded with the 30gr Speer TNT. Y=The worst was the Hornady loaded with 30gr V-Max. Could hardly hit paper with them, and it was leaving unburnt powder in the case and barrel, making it very dirty.

Just goes to show how different, different rifles will shoot. I bought a box of these with high hopes, in my 94-22 these throw a pretty fine shotgun pattern, but that's all.

[Trey45]

Is it all 22's that are finniky or just the rimfires? I've heard 22 Hornet can be tiresome, and I've heard .222 can be as well.

Trey,
It depends a lot on who you listen to.
The .222 had a reputation for being very easy to load for, back in the day.

.22 rimfires can be picky about what they will shoot with best accuracy. I shot a bunch of different kinds of ammo in my new Ruger Single-Six Hunter to find the best one. Federal Champions shoot into about an inch at 25 yards while most others average 2-1/2" or greater.

My CZ 99 will put any thing you put in it in the same hole.

Mine likes the CCI blazers. The old kind with the pointed bullet.
