Where to buy .22 ammo now Thread....

[majormadmax]

I have an old Stevens Model 87 that is semi-auto but will allow you to lock the bolt for sub-sonic ammo. It's a pretty cool feature that I wish was found in modern rifles (it's from the 50s or some time like that...).

The bolt also remains open until you release the trigger, hence the nickname "click-clack." Paid $90 for it, and someone carved their initials in the stock. I love it, it's one of my favorite plinkers and amazingly accurate given the iron sights!

Cheers! M2

Yep, subsonic ammo is best used in bolt action firearms...

SK, Wolf MT and Extra, CCI SV, Eley and a plethora of others are subsonic and shoot just fine out of a semi auto.

Respectfully, be casreful when purchasing subsonic. I have 1,000 rounds of CCI subsonic that won't push the slide on my Buckmark. Man they are quiet though. I spit louder than they fire.

Anything below about 1126 FPS is technically subsonic.

I've shot thousands, probably 15k or more, of the subsonic rounds Hoji lists (Sk, Wolf, and Eley) both suppressed and non suppressed, in semis and bolts, with zero issues. Only ammo I ever had issues cycling were ones designed to be quiet non suppressed- CCI quiet, Aguila Colibre and Super Colibre, and Aguilla Super Sniper 60gr.

ETA: The Gemtech 42 gr subsonic I use now is pretty awesome.

Depending on atmospheric conditions...

I've been buying a few boxes of the Gemtech every time I see it. My 10/22 loves it.

Picked up two 1000 round boxes of M22 yesterday at Walmart of all places. $50.87 a piece.

Went to Walmart about 30 minutes ago. Picked up 3 sleeves of CCI MaxiMag (WMR) 40gr TMJ and 2 boxes of Federal Auto Match 325 (long rifle). That's all she'd let me have. First time I've seen WMR in that store. They had about 20 sleeves of WMR, and 8 boxes of the Federal Auto Match left.

"She", I assume, refers to Mrs. Hoothrewpoo?

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

 

[hoothrewpoo]

Ordinarily... But in this case, "she" = Walmart checkout lady. I know they've lifted the 3 box max, but she was struggling to ring me up already, so I let it slide.

What part of "30 minutes ago" don't you two understand?

I got some 22 mag ammo a couple weeks ago. First I have seen in a year. Bought all they had (four boxes of 50).

I was actually referring to "when did they lift the 3 box limit".

 

[jrbfishn]

Yup, the store I work at still has 3.

Don't go back tracking on us now...

I didn't know they did either.

 

[coachrick]

3 box limit still in place at 1431/Reagan...wonder of wonders, it was three boxes of AutoMatch 325 count last time I was in!
