Rimfire Guide
.22 LR looks cheap enough to stop thinking. That is usually when the bad buys happen.
.22 LR remains one of the best ways to get more trigger time for less money, but bulk rimfire still rewards careful buyers. The good move is not just finding a giant box. It is finding acceptable reliability at a round count and price that still make sense once the excitement wears off.
Best ForCheap practice, new shooter training, and high-volume range use.
Watch CloselyReliability, round count, firearm preference, and whether the “bulk” deal is actually consistent enough to be worth it.
Common TrapBuying purely on the biggest round count and ignoring how a specific rifle or pistol behaves with that load.
