Question 1

What is the cheapest .22 LR ammo in bulk?

Accepted Answer

Bulk .22 LR in 325–500 round boxes runs $0.04–0.07/rd. Federal AutoMatch 325-round packs and CCI Blazer 525-round bricks offer the best per-round pricing. At these prices a 500-round brick costs roughly $20–35.

Question 2

Is bulk .22 LR less accurate than premium?

Accepted Answer

Bulk .22 LR has wider velocity spreads and less consistent accuracy than match-grade ammo. For plinking and informal target shooting out to 50 yards, the difference is minimal. For competition or precision work at 50+ yards, match-grade ammo is noticeably better.

Question 3

How should I store bulk .22 LR?

Accepted Answer

.22 LR uses a heel-seated lead bullet and rimfire priming that can be affected by moisture. Store in a cool, dry place in the original packaging. Properly stored .22 LR lasts for decades. Avoid extreme heat which can degrade the priming compound.
