I'm gaging interest of Olympia area folks for a group buy of .22 magnum rimfire. We can buy 5000 round case Armscor 40gr JHP for 15.2 cents a round, including shipping. Nickel plated brass. It's around $760 per 5000 shipped to Olympia. This is roughly 60% of the price of locally source 22WMR, which is usually about $14/50 with tax (25 cents per). I've had good luck with this brand, so far one dud in 750 rounds, which is better than CCI Maxi Mag will do. (Armscor is probably a little dirtier) Yes. That's real savings!

For example 15.2 cents here: https://www.outdoorlimited.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=arm22mrf40grjhpcase
vs $400/2000 rounds shipped (20 cents per) here: https://www.targetsportsusa.com/armscor-usa-22-wmr-ammo-40-gr-jhp-fac22m-1n-p-2817.aspx

If you find a cheaper price that works too..

We've got two people shooting this round fairly regularly, looking for one or three or more shooters that would like to go in on a bulk purchase. Either one time only or reoccurring? We're flexible.

No one shoots .22 WMR? No one shoots a Ruger Single Six? A Kel Tec PMR30 or CMR30? Or do you just prefer to pay 25 cents a round or more at your local store, plus tax?

I'm still looking for folks want to pay 15 cents a round. Buy a 500 round brick, or more if you'd like.

I shoot it but I've stocked up 22 mag the last few months from targetsportsusa. I guess that gives you an explanation why I can't get more regardless of the great price.

Thanks for putting it out there

I’d do a brick of 500. At .15/round that comes to $75. In.

Okay. I'm going ahead with the order based on commitment from NWRed for 1000 and cdoniguian for 500. Thanks guys.

I'll let you know when it arrives.

Any word on how well this brand would work in an original AMT Automag? Just wondering about the Ni plating...

I only have a PMR30 and Ruger old model single 6. feeds fine. just as CCI maximag. I don't know about the AMT. Should work fine, right? Why not? It is nickel over brass...
I have one brick available. It will be here next week. $76 a brick.
Are you in Rainier Wa? I live near Tenino. If it don't work I'll buy it back. Works great, but may be dirty. In a pistol I get a fewhot embers on my noggin. I don't care. It throws a nice fireball. And it's cheap. I'm doing a torture test on my PMR30. 900 rounds without a cleaning, no misfires with armscor. CCI Maximag gives 2 duds per 50.
