Buy recommendations First range day .22 questions

Post image

Hey guys,

Went to the range for the first time a few days ago. Shot 200 rounds of CCI mini mag and then another 100 Aguila Interceptors through my Ruger 10/22. Overall it was a blast.

Now I’m looking to grab some bulk ammo for .22. Considering CCI Blazer as they run cheaper then mini mag but I wanna know what you guys prefer? Price, reliability, how dirty it runs, whatever drop your favourites.

Also, anywhere I could get a mag/speed loader for my BX-25 mags in the GTA? Please let me know!

Thanks.

22lr is picky so it really comes down to what your gun likes to run.

In my 10/22, if I'm just cheapo plinking, cci minimag is a good starting point (because mini mag runs well in every semi)

Eley club is another affordable option. Same with SK. S&b match isn't bad either (but God the lot I bought was dirty as hell).

After that if you want to sink cash money, look into Eley match / bench rest / tennex.

The reality is, you'll want to try a various assortment of ammo to see what groups and runs best in your specific rifle.

As for speed loader? I grabbed a MagLula from Tenda and it's saved my thumbs.

The maglulas seem to be sold out everywhere.

Not sure what the stock is like now, I bought mine many years ago.

I've seen a caldwell one at the local shops but I've heard it's complete ass.
