Bulk .22 LR Ammo for Sale

Buying 500 or 2,000+ rounds can both make sense, depending on how often you shoot and how well a specific load cycles in your rimfire firearm. A 500-round brick is a practical starting point for testing a new brand or load without tying up excessive capital.

A multi-thousand round case makes more sense when you already know the load functions flawlessly in your semi-automatic rifle or pistol and expect to shoot regularly. Larger quantities reduce product cost per round while spreading shipping overhead across more rounds.

However, round count alone does not determine the better deal. Compare the final delivered cost of each option. For example, a 500-round brick at $40 with $10 shipping costs $50 delivered, or $0.10 per round. A 2,000-round case at $140 with $15 shipping costs $155 delivered, or $0.077 per round.

The larger case costs more upfront, but its delivered cost per round is lower in this example.

Before buying, also check the bullet weight, projectile coating (lead vs. copper-plated), velocity, retailer, shipping terms, and any applicable purchase requirements. The lowest advertised price is not necessarily the lowest overall cost.

Shipping deserves extra attention when buying bulk rimfire ammo because large quantities pack significant weight into dense cases, which can incur meaningful shipping charges. Two products with similar ammunition prices may have noticeably different delivered costs once shipping is added.

For example, imagine two 1,000-round packs priced at $75 and $80. The $75 option initially appears cheaper, but if its estimated shipping is $20 while the other has $8 shipping, the second product actually has the lower delivered cost.

This is why AmmoMatrix separates product price, estimated shipping, and CPR with shipping where shipping data is available. It gives you a better way to compare the actual cost of different bulk listings.

Buying 500 to 5,000+ rounds makes proper storage more important. Rimfire priming compound is sensitive to extreme conditions, so protecting your ammo from moisture, extreme heat, and physical damage is vital to preserve reliability.
