    Armscor ammo?

    The good, bad or ugly. That's the only 22 WMR out there and would appreciate the the benefit of your experience.

    Having not owned a 22 mag myself when I bought my Cooper M57 in 22Lr., Melvin Cooper guaranteed the accuracy of all his guns except 22 mag, because the ammo was not consistent enough. If I was going to buy a magnum rimfire it would be the 17HMR.

    I can only say each gun is different and you might get lucky.

    Never used the .22mag but the .22Lr shoots tight from my 10-22.

    I've shot a fair amount of armscor in pistol calibers. It was decent ammo.

    Their bullet quality is fine (of what I've bought), they seem to have good quality control-- but I haven't tried their ammo

    It's good ammo, I've shot a lot of it. Both pistol and rifle.

    I got a deal on some 38 special awhile back, not bad ammo just not as accurate as reloads. All went bang and is in the pile to be reloaded now.

    don't know about the 22 mag but that's what we found at the time when we formed my clubs junior CMP shooting program and it shoots pretty accurate out of the savage 22's we bought thru the CMP

    as a side note, the 9mm cases ive picked up at range have smaller diameter flash holes and the deprimer pin gets stuck in them

    I had problems with the Armscor 22 Mag rupturing in my PMR 30. The manual says not to use it but I tried 5 and I think 3 ruptured so I don't use them in the PMR 30 anymore.

    Like a lot of the others, I have shot their 22 LR but not the magnum. The 22 LR seemed to do okay considering the price. If the magnum follows the pattern, it will be okay accurate but not the best.
