Black Angus McPherson 418 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I ran across some .22 ammo today at a decent price - 500 rds @ $20. It's "Armscor" brand. I'm not familiar with Armscor. Has anyone here used it? What do you think? I'm not expecting target ammo but would like it to be reliable and accurate enough to have fun plinking. Angus Link to post Share on other sites
Alpo 6,232 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Armscor is made in the Philippines. I've seen it for at least ten years - maybe longer. Never used any, though, so don't know if it's any good. Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 994 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I've used their other calibers and it fired fine, not my favorite. it worked though Link to post Share on other sites
Catlow4697 568 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 If you are just plinking yes The question is will it functions in your firearms? I tried to use some of the cheapest Federal and Winchester 22 ammo in assorted firearms with mixed results. Buy a brick or a box of 50 to try. Link to post Share on other sites
The Original Lumpy Gritz 7,193 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I had fitment issues in tight match grade chambers, on several of my .22's. Stopped using it. This was many years ago. OLG Link to post Share on other sites
G W Wade 943 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Picked up some at a new store open house. Shot as good as the other lower price 22's I use for plinking and general use. I would buy more. GW Link to post Share on other sites
Hillbilly Drifter 961 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I have a couple bricks of it in 22WMR and it is actually pretty decent Link to post Share on other sites
Tennessee Trapper Tom 504 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Tried it. Comparable to other cheap brands. Depends on what you are using it for. Tins cans on a stump great. Competing with a friend on a target. NOT. I have frequent jams with Amscor out of autos. Have had trouble ejecting from two bolt actions that higher quality does not do. Still can’t figure out why Link to post Share on other sites
Finagler 6853 Life 427 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It works well in my 10/22 but most everything feeds in those. Works fine in my 22 revolvers. I use it when I want to hear something go bang. For precision, I use CCI but those have been a bit pricey lately. Link to post Share on other sites
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 778 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I use it when practicing for side matches but use match grade .22s for the actual competition. I've never had a failure to fire with it like some domestic promo ammo sold by big box retailers. Link to post Share on other sites
Michigan Slim 5,045 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Runs fine through our 10-22s. Mark III's not so good. Link to post Share on other sites
Black Angus McPherson 418 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks. I'll pick up a carton on my next trip to that store and give them a try. I would have bought some the first time, but I was a bit rushed. Angus Link to post Share on other sites
