Hi All. I have been asked by the director of our Scout summer camp to help choose what ammo we will use this coming summer. So I thought I would come to my beloved INGO forums and seek the opinion of those wiser and more experienced than me.
So far, I have had suggestions of Federal, which we have used in the past, CCI blazer, Goldenboys, Winchester 555, etc. I am open to all suggestions.
We are potentially looking to acquire 90,000 rounds of .22lr for this coming summer. If YOU were to purchase more than 50,000 rounds, what would you buy? We need them to be ranked with these criteria in mind.
1. Reliability (if the firing pin hits, will a projectile go down range?)
2. Cost
3. Accuracy at 50 ft.
They will be shot out of Kimber Model 82 Gvnt's and Anschütz benchrest target rifles. These are single shot bolt action rifles. They will also be occasionally used in Ruger Mk 2's, although we can probably get separate ammo for the pistols if needed.
Thank you for your time.

':The Scout Camp I work/worked for has potentially come into possession of Winchester 555 22.lr Supersonic Hollow points. Does anyone have experience with these? Are they reliable, or do that have a high failure rate? They will be shot out of Kimber Model 82 Gvnt's and Anschütz benchrest target rifles. These are single shot bolt action rifles.
Your opinions will be much appreciated.
