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.

I personally really like the Aguila Super Extra bulk stuff. It sometimes goes on sale for near 0.05/Rd (500rd packs for $30 online sometimes). It has been very reliable in my guns, maybe slightly less reliable than CCI, but it is much better then federal blue box stuff. 

I get maybe 1 in 100 FTFs with Aguila bulk stuff, very consistent velocity too for rimfire. Federal I would get anywhere from 3-10 per 100 depending on the box, and CCI I get maybe 0.5-1 per 100rd. I personally just don't find CCI quite worth the extra cost when it runs closer to 0.15/rd at a lot of shops.
