Re: Target Rimfire Ammunition
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Shootnjunky</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So where is the best place to purchase target ammo?
I am new to the rimfire game and spent many years in handguns and decided I would rather play with something cheaper. At least that is what I told my wife when I quoted ammo prices. Never told her that the gun itself will cost more than a few of my handguns

What level of accuracy are you wishing to obtain, what firearm(s) are you going to be shooting, and at what distance(s)?
Dependent on your answers to the above questions you could possibly go as economical as CCI Standard (typically available at your local Wally World) or you may desire something more exotic from Lapua or Eley which is typically procured from
Champion's Shooter Supply or
Champion's Choice in the quantity of a box (50), carton/brick (500) or case (5000).
I'd start with about 100-150 rounds of a few brands to see what you rimfire likes and your wallet can afford to feed it. Once you have settled on a brand then you can drill down further by testing specific lots and then ordering as much of that as possible to minimize repeating the testing process frequently. For reference the Lapua factory in Germany also makes SK Jagd and Wolf. Lastly, don't forget to run a dry patch between testing brands of ammo as the type of lube used on various target grade rimfire ammo can effect your results when switching. Good luck.
