http://www.9mmammo.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has 500 rds - 22 LR Aguila Super Extra 40gr Lead Bullet for $59.99. I just ordered some 9mm from them. I have used Aguila in the past without problems. I have some of their 22LR just haven't tried it yet. I use their 9mm and 380 and never had a problem with either. Hope this helps.

You are correct. Midway has it with one 500 box limit.

The CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Progran) has (had?) .22rf ammution. There are some requirements to qualify, but a quick check with their web site will give you first hand information. Mostly it is for organizations such as junior Marksmanship Clubs, Scout Troops, ROTC , and their members.

If you need a couple of boxes every other month or so, it might not be your best cost effective source.

Give GrabAGun a call, they had some last time I was there. I don't believe they show it on their website.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've looked at the sites, and all I see is subsonic stuff, or 20gr no-powder. Not familiar with the subsonic stuff, has anybody tried it in a semi-auto? Will it cycle an m&p 15-22, ruger 10-22 and sr-22? Doesn't need to be target grade, but does need to work a SA. :confused5

All I shoot in my 10/22 is subsonic. Don't get the super colibri though, it will not cycle and may not even clear the barrel. The Aguila Super Extra Subs are good to go inside 60 yards.

Thanks, anybody used the subsonic in an M&P 15-22? Any specific subsonic brands to avoid or look for? Thanks!
