According to my gsg 1911, savage mkii and Chiapas little badger, bucket o bullets is leaps and bounds better.

I've seen the light as well, I'm all cci and federal now, but my bucket o bullets treated me well.

u/analglandjuice Jan 15 '18

Yup. I have 2 buckets on my shelf from when they went on sale years ago... Jammed up like crazy in my 10/22 and haven’t touched them since.

Maybe I can sell them on CGNEE when there’s another 22 shortage!

It seems to be disliked by a lot of guns; we have a 10/22 that hates feding it, WILL NOT CHAMBER in Walther's G36 .22 (case is too large diameter), but runs like a dream in my 597HB. Not as accurate as CCI, but considering we picked it up for 0.061 per shot, I can't complain too much.

Golden bullets also consistently outperformed Winchester M22 and SuperX, Federal Champion, Wildcat, and the new Browning stuff (assuming it chambered).

Will confirm. 10/22 hates the bucket. Remington nylon 66 loves it, tube-fed bolt action cooey doesn't have an issue.

I wonder if it's the rotating magazine. People with regular box mag shooters, how does the bucket feed for you?

My Ruger Mk ii Target 22/45 loves those Golden Bullets. I’ve ran over 2400 rounds through it with only a few stoppages.

As far as accuracy goes it doesn’t matter much with a pistol at 10 yds.

They might be terrible. I can’t say but for what I need they’re great.

Bucket-of-shit is the worst 22 ammo i've ever bought.

I am currently on 13. It's scary to me how accurate The List is.

u/largebeardedman pew pew Jan 15 '18

Also interested in the list.

Thank you! I looked in useful information, should have also checked the FAQ. I've done damn near all of that stuff lol. No AR... Yet.

2000 for me. Meh, it's 22LR.

My single shot eats it up.

Seeing that makes me quite happy I got 400x CCI .22WMR for Christmas. But I don't think I can get wildcat in WMR, can I ? Not that I would after seeing this...

u/Hugedongmclong Jan 15 '18

What’s the best 22 ammo? I need dis

u/cbf1232 sk Jan 15 '18

Lapua X-Act for $0.50 per round. :)

Seriously though, try a bunch of different brands and types. My CZ really likes the SK ammo as well. This is a good place to look for accurate .22LR ammo.

2

u/thehuntinggearguy 3gun, Mapleseed, YouTuber, SlamFire Radio, Revolver-hater Jan 15 '18

Yeah, I really like SK Match and SK Standard for the price. Kinda greasy though.

1

u/sheepsix al Jan 16 '18

I bought one of the mid grade sampler packs from Tesro and shot a bunch of them. My best rifle really likes SK Rifle Match but yes the wax they use is really greasy. I found Lapua to be the same if not worse. SK is a Lapua subsidiary so that may explain it.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '18

I have had excellent results with a few of the Eley offerings, SK+, and RWS especially.

1

u/mantafloppy Jan 15 '18

SK rifle match. But you pay for what you get.

u/Gyuji Jan 15 '18

Pretty definitive results!

1

u/smashervt Jan 15 '18

Is this the same with out types of ammunition? As in is it that big of a difference with lets say varying 9mm ammo?

1

u/roguemenace Jan 16 '18

In general 9mm is less finicky than .22 for 2 reasons. One is that a small variation in powder charge won't have a large an impact on velocity(compared to a .22). The other is that due to the shorter ranges involved it's difficult to even notice the differences in accuracy.

1

u/mantafloppy Jan 15 '18

Pistol ammo is different for 2 main reasons.

You can reload pistol ammo for better accuracy, 22 can only be bought.

Most pistol shooter don't need as much accuracy than rifle. Almost no one benchrest pistol. I don't know what the average pistol shooter accuracy in Moa, but average ammo is probably more accurate than the shooter.

I don't shot pistol, those are educated guess.

u/Krazee9 on Jan 15 '18

I'm surprised that your gun was able to feed them reliably enough to even do this.

u/mantafloppy Jan 15 '18

Bolt action. Savage MK 2.

u/Krazee9 on Jan 15 '18

My dad's Mk2 wouldn't extract Winchester ammo.

u/seniorscubasquid Jan 15 '18

Winchester and remington bullet bucket: because simulating malfunctions is too much work.

u/Marilius Jan 17 '18

Confirms what I've long told folk. Bang for buck, CCI SV can't be beat. Isn't too harsh on the wallet, and spot on for accuracy.
