Herters - Bass Pro/Cabela's "cheap" .22 bulk pack
What can I say? It works every time in the Ruger SR22. It was the only bulk .22LR I could find just as the WuFlu was hitting and I knew there would be a run on ammo. So, I got a couple bricks of it. Finally tried it out the other day - 150 rounds in the little pistol. If it was going to hiccup, it would have done it in the little pistol.
Actually, if it is going to hiccup, it will be in the Browning Buckmark - that sucker is picky. So, I reckon I'll have to update this post when I get around to testing it in that. It shoots similarly to the CCI Blazer bulk stuff, except the Herter's is a plated hollow point vs. the CCI which is a lead solid. But they are both pretty zippy. It was minute of 1 lb freon can accurate. (I really gain little satisfaction shooting at paper.) The Herter's is a little dirtier, but not Aguila dirty. Aguila smells like piss when you shoot it, and Herters doesn't. Rumor Central says Herters is made by Winchester. Don't know the validity of that, though.

The Hornady Lock-N-Load progressive press says I have enough ammo for a little while. Remember when you and I were telling folks to buy it cheap and stack it deep? I'm not just an advocate for that, but am also a member. |
