Hello everyone,
I saw this .22WMR for sale on Cheaper Than Dirt. Yes, I know, they have been price gouging and we should all boycott them, but all things considered, the price is worth considering in today's marketplace. They are selling 500 rounds for around $400. They say it's made by Winchester. Here is a copy of the ammo specifications from their web page:

So I was wondering... Does anyone have any experience with this ammo? I normally shoot CCI TMJ for target or silhouette shooting out to 100m but I am running low on ammo and don't want to pay Gunbroker prices for more CCI TMJ. I know that by the time I decide it will all be gone, but based on y'all's experience I might consider getting some next time.
Thanks for your responses.

I don't think it was their intent to say the ammo is made by Winchester, but hard to tell with CTD. The Winchester is in reference to 22 WMR i.e. 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire. I couldn't find anything online as to who actually makes the American Quality line of ammo.

Thanks for the info. I’ve decided to wait until I can get the ammo I like instead of paying 80 cents a round. I found some on gunbroker for 40 cents a round so I’ll just stick to what I know. Looks like ammo is starting to make a slow return.

 

Here is the link for the ammo listed at Cheaper Than Dirt. I found a few old reviews online for the company for other calibers of ammo. The folks seem neutral, not good nor bad. So I suppose if the price was right it would be a decent buy for practice/plinking. However, at .80 per round I would expect better performance. I also researched reloading .22 WMR. There were mixed, inconsistent results. Decided that was not an option after I read about "brass pieces imbedded into various body areas" following a test shoot.

It's funny how perspective changes though. I remember just a couple of years ago not buying some match 5.56 ammo from the CMP for .90 a round. Outrageous! Now it's probably not possible to buy any brand or type of 5.56 ammo for less than $1 per round. Oh well, life goes on....

 

I think its made by Armscor USA.

AQA appears to be an ammo reseller, buying product from various manufacturers when the price is right, and selling under their own lable.

I bought 750 rounds of it recently, in an Armslist Parking lot exchange, and it shoots fine, not hornady ballistic tip fine , but good enough for me and my magnums. A CZ 455 FS, a Winchester 9422M and a Savage 93. But I just want something that hits close to the bullseye.

 

I got an email that Montana AR15 has these for American Quality round and as I looked up the name I saw this thread. Has anyone used these rounds?

I got the same email and almost bought them but decided to look for reviews first.

 

If you go to SGAMMO they have 22 mag all the time and nowhere near that price if you are in the states.

 

I have used them a ton for good 22LR as well.
Wiley, Wolf, Federal GM Match and CCI SV at good prices.

 

As dismal as American made 22rf ammo is I would not be encouraged to buy some called 'American Quality'
It has to be a hustle

 

American Quality in WMR. Was Disappointing for me. Straight to the pistol pile,

 

CTD is out of their mind. SG a ammo always comes thru for me. Here's an example that's a tad cheaper.
