We think every gun owner should have a .22 LR rifle and .22 LR pistol for training and fun plinking. You can shoot .22 LR rimfire rounds for a tiny fraction of the cost of centerfire ammo, which can exceed $1.30 per round just for components. Today we spotlight some of the best .22 LR rimfire ammo deals on the web.
At Locked & Loaded Ltd. we found .22 LR rimfire ammo for as low as $2.68 per 50ct box, which works out to just 5.36 cents per round ($0.0536)! These deals, all under seven cents per round, are all current on the LockedLoaded.com website. CLICK HERE to access the deals.

Bonus — Big Rimfire Ammo Comparison Test
This Backfire Channel Video features an accuracy comparison test of 13 .22LR ammo types from multiple manufacturers. This includes low-priced ammo, such as Aquila, as well as more costly match ammo from ELEY, Lapua, and SK. The most accurate ammunition in the tester’s rifle was Lapua Center-X. Do note that different ammo may shoot better or worse in different rimfire guns. For example a round that works in a Ruger 10/22 may not be the best choice for a .22 LR revolver. But this review can help you get started in your ammo selection process.

⏺ SAVE $200 on scopes PLUS get FREE $210 Binoculars
⏺ Nice, compact 9mm complete with integrated laser — great carry gun
Here is a great value in a 9mm carry/defense pistol. The Smith & Wesson SD9VE 9mm features a comfortable grip, high visibility sights, and a built-in laser. The Crimson Trace LG-457 Laserguard is a powerful red laser designed specifically for Smith & Wesson SD/SD VE pistols. Featuring Crimson Trace’s Instinctive Activation system, the laser system can be set to activate instantly when the pistol is gripped, via a button on the grip front. This two-tone pistol has a black polymer frame and stainless slide. Priced at just $329.99 on sale, this S&W handgun is $220 less than a similar-sized Glock 19 without a laser.
3. Midsouth — Aguila .22 LR Ammunition, $28.99 500 rounds
⏺ Large variety of Aguila rimfire ammo at great prices
With the high cost of centerfire components (bullets, brass, primers, powder), more folks are shooting rimfire rifles and pistols. Right now, Midsouth is running a major sale on Aguila rimfire ammo. Choose standard velocity (1130 fps) or high-velocity (1255 fps), solid point or hollowpoint. Ammo starts at just $28.49 for 500-ct boxes of 38gr or 40gr ammo — that’s just six cents per round. And if you need large quantities, grab a 2000-round bulk pack for just $114.99, again just $0.06 per round. For varmint work, consider Aguila’s 1700 fps Hyper Velocity SuperMaximum 30gr ammo, priced at $7.49/50 rounds.
4. Grafs.com — Frankford Arsenal F-1 Press, $122.99
⏺ Versatile press, good primer exit, plus built-in light
Here’s a handy, single-stage press with some cool features. The new Frankford Arsenal F-1 press has an open front for easy case placement, plus a built-in LED lamp at the top (great for inspecting cases). And after decapping, spent primers go straight down a tube into a handy, clear, twist-off catch cylinder (as on a Forster Co-Ax). We think this would be an excellent secondary press used for decapping or bullet seating. This intro price — just $122.99 at Graf & Sons — is a great deal. NOTE: This press does NOT have priming capability — you must prime cases with a separate tool. Also, the power cord for the LED light is NOT included. For more details see Frankford Arsenal F-1 Press Review.
