remington bucket bullets .22 LR 22LR rimfire ammunition ammo sale bargain bulk plated hollow point plinkingEvery gun enthusiast can use a large supply of .22 LR rimfire ammunition for fun plinking and steel target work at the range. Yes, rimfire ammo has increased in price over the past decade, but there are still some exceptional deals. Here’s a great .22 LR rimfire ammo deal we found at SportsmansGuide.com.*

Right now, for just $109.99, you can get a bucket of 1400 Remington rounds with 36gr plated Hollow Point (PHP) bullets. That works out to just 8 cents per round ($0.078). Compare that to $0.20/rd for 9mm Luger ammo, and $0.50/rd or more for bulk .223 Rem centerfire ammo. That’s why this ammo is a good choice for high-volume plinking and plate owrk. The claimed velocity for the Remington ammo is 1280 FPS — a pretty fast speed for the .22 LR cartridge.

Caliber: .22LR
Bullet Weight: 36 grain
Bullet Style: Plated Hollow Point

Muzzle Velocity: 1,280 FPS
Muzzle Energy: 131 ft.-lbs.
Case Type: Brass

The Remington 1400-count Bucket of Bullets is also available from BassPro/Cabelas for $129.99.

Range Test of Remington Bucket of Bullets .22 LR Ammunition
Here is a range test of the 36gr .22 LR rimfire cartridges in Remington’s Bucket of Bullets. The ammo was fired through a Ruger 10/22 with iron sights. The tester did observe one round that seemed weak (03:07 time), and this showed a 967 FPS velocity. That’s 313 FPS slower than the rated velocity. The tester produced about a 1.2″ group at 25 yards. He concludes he would not use this ammo for competition, but it is plenty good for “plinking, having fun… and poppin’ squirrels.”


* The price for regular customers is $109.99 for the 1400-rd bucket. However Sportsman’s Guide Buyers’ Club members pay $104.49, saving nearly 5%. And club members get FREE Shipping on orders over $49.00. This ammunition cannot be shipped to California.

Remington Ammo Production Resumes in Arkansas Factory

Big Green is Back — Remington Ammo Production Resumes
Following the bankruptcy of Remington Arms, Remington’s ammunition business was acquired by Vista Outdoor, parent of CCI, Federal, RCBS and other major shooting/outdoor industry brands. Vista Outdoor took over Remington’s ammunition production facilities, including the main Remington Ammo plant in Lonoke, Arkansas. Federal Ammunition President Jason Vanderbrink was installed as President of Remington, and he has lead a team that has worked hard to get the Remington plant running at full capacity.

Vista Outdoor Takes Over Remington Ammunition Business:

“The Big Green is back [and] it’s stronger than ever. Remington is synonymous with America itself. It is a 205-year-old brand, founded in 1816. ” — Jason Vanderbrink, President of Remington Ammunition

American Rifleman reported: “Remington Ammunition is back in operation[.] Following Remington Outdoors’ bankruptcy in 2020, Vista Outdoor … purchased the Remington ammunition facility in Arkansas, along with most of Remington’s trademarks. Immediately following the acquisition, Vista sent a number of experienced managers down to the Lonoke facility to get production back on track. Remington, one of the largest ammunition facilities in the United States, had difficulty obtaining the raw materials needed to fill its capacity. As a result, employees were laid off, machines were idled, all while domestic ammunition demand reached unprecedented heights. With Vista Outdoor’s management, production is flowing.”

The Remington Plant is now “back in business”, with production output increasing daily. Vanderbrink reviews the situation in this video. Vanderbrink tours the plant, talking about plans to dramatically ramp up production, overcome supply chain issues, work overtime to help meet the current demands of consumers for quality ammunition.

Remington has been working 24/7 to retool and reopen the plant, hiring hundreds of skilled American workers. “Today marks a historic milestone for our industry … I [join] the hard-working crew at Remington Ammunition, the entire team at Vista Outdoor and… shooting sports enthusiasts across America in celebrating the rebirth and resurgence of Remington Ammunition”, said Vanderbrink.

Vanderbrink added that the vastly enhanced flow of raw materials coming to the plant now allows production to be ramped up: “Our workforce is doing fantastic, and our raw material suppliers have really come through. So now, Remington’s going 24/7, and everyone will get to enjoy the quality ammunition that Lonoke, Arkansas makes.”
