i just bought some 500 rounds of federal champion ammo and it was 20 dollars. i would like some really cheap plinking ammo and im not interested in spending 20 dollars for plinking ammo. any decent plinking ammo that is real cheap?

SwampCollie

REAL cheap is relative anymore... the days of $10 bricks of 22 ammo are long gone I'm afraid. About the cheapest I'm seeing anymore is Winchester Wildcat at about $16/brick and Rem Thunderbolt about the same.

if you are lucky and your local walmart's carries ammo, federal value pack 550 for like $11 or 12,

+1 on the wildcats, shot the for years out of my 22, no one have them in stock anymore around here

mossbergman11

so i might get federal value pack and winchester wildcat
what is the best ammo in your opinion for squirrels, rabbits, and birds?

corey012778

I have shot a number of groundhogs with cci minimags hp and the winchester wildcat.

around 10 to 15 rabbits with the minimags hp. but I stocked up on them when I bought my 22. down to my last 25 now.

CCI stingers for squirrels and rabbits.

I second the Wildcats. They may be 'cheap' ammo, but they shoot great out of my Savage 22. Even better than Ely match ammo which cost about 4X as much.

where have any you guys seen winchester wildcat?

sorry this may be dumb question but why would someone get hollow point over a solid point?

Pavomesa

Hollow Points are a little more destructive and thus deadlier to small game. Federal is good ammo. I wouldn't shoot Remington Thunderbolt if someone gave me a brick of it. I suspect the only difference between Winchester Hi Vel and the Winchester Wildcat is they don't bother to put the little copper wash on the bullets for the wildcat stuff. And that's 99% cosmetic.
