Buffalo I got to say that bulk pack impressed me. I also got to say I appreciate your integrity and exacting standards to make this a truly Fair honest comparison. Not a lot of folks would go through that much trouble make it fair. As always great video Buffalo thank you for what you do brother!

The best part of it... you spent a day having fun, spent under $2.00 on ammo, and still have a bunch of ammo for another day. I like that kind of shooting.

Thanks Buffalo for continuing to do these ammo tests through your awesome 457 Varmint! I really enjoy this series.

Good bench technique. No violent bolt cycling, each round hand fed and almost same cheek pressure, trigger pulling without excessive force. Bravo. 👏🏽

I was impressed with the consistent velocities according to Buffaloes chronograph, there were only two or three that where blow the advertised velocity on the box but well within acceptable velocities... I like it when people use a chronograph it helps me make and more educated decision on the ammo I purchase when I can find it !!

I love the transparency of these ammo tests. I can see everything in the frame in real time. I wish more would do this. 22plinkster shows the side view and puts the target on the screen but in all actuality I don't know if he's shooting at 50 yards or 10 yards. And taking a 25 shot average is much better than just shooting a group. Anyone can dick around until they get a good group on camera. With your tests you don't leave anything to doubt! Keep up the good work!

I love the bill dance style fade in of the target and chrono. Reminds me of being a kid watching his show on sunday morning....good times

Not too shabby for bulk pack ammo. Thanks for another excellent video, love the way you include both the target and the chronograph, gives us all some additional insight.

Love these videos and thanks for shooting bulk pack. Figured it wouldn't perform as well as the target ammo but it is good to see what it will do in that rifle. I really like the shoot offs you do and can't wait to see the finale. Keep up the good work!

You have become my favorite gun youtuber! You do a damn good job and no bs and you keep it real..Thanks for all your hard work and information you provide us shooter's..Thank you sir..👍

I have shot a bunch of that Federal bulk pack and my 10-22 with a bull barrel likes it. Decent groups and functions well in my rifle. I got my first .22 in 1965. Yes I am an old fart. Remington golden bullet .22lr was about $.75 for a box of 50. My Marlin 39A Mountie loved that ammo. My Dad would take me to Maidlow's store in Princeton, IN. One side of the store was guns and ammo and you could get your hunting and fishing licenses there. The other side was package liquor but I didn't get to go in that side. lol

You are fast becoming my favorite out of all the firearms "experts" on you tube. You are the best.

You have a very calming demeanor. Thanks for that. I'm glad I found your channel.

Not bad for bulk pack ammo. Surprised groups were that tight.

Really enjoying this series of videos and tests. Everything is as consistent as you can make it. I picked up a bunch of it about a year ago. This is good inexpensive plinking ammo and I'm not too surprised at your results. Right now, I only have access to a 25 yard indoor range. I'm taking whatever ammo I have, on hand, and trying to follow your lead just for the fun of it. I'm shooting a Remington 581-S that I've had since the 90's. You have a great format and it's keeping me busy. Thanks, again.

Accuracy with a CZ never surprises me. Love the real world shooting!

I fell in love with cz rifles ever since I got my 455. I don't think there is any other gun like it. I really enjoy watching the videos you put out there so much I actually watch them until the end. Haha

Your effort to do the best is well appreciated

Thanks. I use fed bulk and have some great 100m groups. Appreciate you showing bulk ammo. Happy New Year!

Buffalo, your videos just keep getting better all the time.Good shooting ,awesome range to.Hope you and your family had great Christmas and Y'all have Happy New Year!

Thanks for keeping up the great informative videos ! 👍👍

Thanks for these test. Love that rifle

Finally a 22lr shooter who shoots with a clean bore, it’s hardly ever the fact that one gun likes a certain round, it’s usually one round that doesn’t like the wax or coating from the previous round types

That second group was awesome - 4 rounds in two holes, and one real close by

Thank you for a CZ 457 Varmint MTR 22LR "REAL DEAL." For those that have the specific stock CZ 22LR rifle like yours, the ammo tests are particularly informative. My compliments on your presentation style and warm personality.

Good stuff, my father, and step dad both swore by CCI for .22LR, and that's what I learned to shoot with, so that's what I've always been picking up myself over the years, and stocked up on earlier this year for my old Remington 22 bolt action with a simple cheapo Chinoook 3-9X40 scope on it(works well enough for me with a sand bag), but yeah I'm really Impressed with this Federal bulk pack, and I'm gonna have to grab a box, or 2 when I see it back in stock to give it a try. 👍👍

I have a CZ-452 Model 2E Standard and I can group this ammo at 1"-1.2" at 100m!! I use it for hunting all the time and it has been devastating on rabbits. the furthest shot I got was 130m, single shot to the chest, dead instantly!! It's the oldest rifle I own and got it for my 13th Birthday in 1988!! It's still the main .22lr I use to this day!!

Nice. Thanks Buffalo!

My CZ457 varmint loves this ammo as well doesn’t shoot much worse than good target ammo

Impressive bulk ammo performance from Federal. If I learned one thing from these fun trials it's that no matter how much money you spend on 22lr in terms of match ammo vs bulk. It only matters if it really matters. Oh, and that these 22lr videos are addictive. Thanks Buffalo, as always. NOTE: Please do not feel obligated to respond to my comments every time I post. I almost do not comment because you always respond. Please take a break for a while. The little heart thingy is plenty good. I work for a living as well and would not want to be addressing every comment from subs. Much appreciated but never necessary. Thanks Brother, as always. (* insert heart thingy here, lol). Happy New Year!!!!!

I agree that the bulk pack ammo is not toshabby at all. It will get the job done for sure. Thanks for testing it.

Great bulk ammo

So glad I snagged a heap of the stuff back early 2020. If you want to get some kind of consistency with rimfire, you can take a caliper and scale, sort stuff by weight and diameter. Could always run a bore brush through every 5 shots, shooting 1 round after the brushing (as a conditioner) before starting the next group.

I like the Federal Champion blue box bulk pack, all of my semi autos cycle them well. I wish those bulk packs were still under $10

I get about 1.5 MOA with Federal bulk out of a 30 year old Marlin 25N. 3/4 inch or less groups at 50 yards. Had to laugh that your neighbor was out shooting ad well. The sounds of freedom always makes me smile. Happy New year

As a longtime owner of 9 CZ 452s I can testify that they all have their own ammo preference. I bought a couple cases of CCI SV back in the day and all my 452s do pretty well with that but they also have individual preferences. Some like Wolf, some like SK, some like Eley but none seem to like the bulk stuff. Your groups were pretty good for HV bulk ammo. Just my $0.02 worth. YMMV. Thanks!!!

I have tried at least a dozen different types of 22lr in a modified 10/22 and it likes the same federal bulk pack you are testing the best

I shot tons & tons of Aguila & CCI blazer through my Savage.. both was pretty good for cheap ammo, but the blazer was just way more consistent & accurate.

Pretty impressive Buffalo!

Excellent video! The Federal bulk pack is impressive. Not what I had expected. I did not expect it to be horrible out of that CZ barrel, but not that good.

Awesome shooting

I have a couple of packs of this, but you know, I never tried it either to see just how good/bad it is in this type of shooting. I am impressed now! I'm going to try this out in my Sako Finnfire II next week. Thanks again,...this is interesting, always.

I've shoot many many boxes of this Federal Champion value pack ammo. It's excellent plinking ammo. It's consistent, surprisingly accurate and very reliable. I've rarely gotten a dud. I remember paying $9.99/box, back in the day!

I had to stop at the common / not so common remark for a good chuckle......lmao

Great series of videos you are doing with the CZ. I realized you might have tested some SK and sure enough I found this SK Plus video. Your results give me hope. I shot a .4” group with my Ruger American at 50 yards under perfect but cold outdoor conditions. This is my new squirrel hunting load for sure. Happy I bought a brick recently, at .19c pr it should last me several seasons of happy hunting. Wish I could get my wife interested in shooting but she is still a keeper. Thanks.

Great test Buffalo. I have a bunch of these Federal Bulk Packs, bought them for about $12/box. They function great in my 10/22's. They generally group under 1.5" at 100 yards, can't complain for 2.5 cents/shot (especially these days).

I've always been pretty satisfied with bulk pack 22 ammo up to about 25 yards. I never really tried 50 yards though. Thanks for the video

Cool beans! This is really a useful experiment! God bless all here.

Thanks Buffalo for another great video. Not bad for bulk ammo.

Nice presentation...good shooting

Great groupings with this flavor, looking forward to the “Shoot Off!!”

I use bulk pack stuff mostly for my pistols and revolvers. All shots at 7 to 15 yard. The bulk pack stuff is fine so long as it goes "bang". And if I'm plinking with rifle, I'm shooting at reactive targets that are not all that small out to 50 yards. I never thought I needed more accuracy from the ammo (I put the blame squarely on me if I miss a 3 to 5 inch target at 50). Good video and good shooting.

Excellent, as usual. People often disregard "bulk pack" ammo, as cheap junk that's too inconsistant or unreliable. Some rifles do very well with it, in my experience, a standard velocity lead round nose projectile does very well in most of the rifles I have.

This is what I really wanted to see! Thanks for giving it a fair shake. Just for grins and tickles you should do a test using .22 short

When you're comparing this bulk pack ammo to some match ammo, that is pretty respectable groups. I like the Federal bulk packs. I found that it functions real well in my auto rifles compared to some other bulk ammo. Like this review, always fair and honest as usual.

Federal auto match is my favorite bulk 22lr. Usually in a 325rd. Pack

Great vid and great shooting

Digging the rimfire action.

I have a good bit of that ammo, looks pretty good to me. Thanks for testing it.

Thanks for the great video again! All i shoot is bulk ammo, its plenty accurate to put food on the table

I am glad you showed a bulk pack in this test. I know this test is quality ammo in a quality stock rifle. But you proved with a good stock setup and bulk pack ammo you can easily get minute of squirrel results. I wish I got some of that SK ammo 6 months ago just to try it. Happy New Year fine sir.

Nice to see a target rifle with standard ammo. I do these vids with all my rifles- I refuse to pay a ton of money for 50 rds of target ammo. i really like the Aguila too, but I'll run winchester super x white box bulk through my guns, or federal hollowpoint. They seem to shoot fine for what I do. I am glad I have as much 22lr as I have, I have been buying bulk for the last 5 years off and on, so I have a good stock. The stock on the CZ is beautiful. What a nice looking (and shooting) gun

That is some nice lead slinging Buffalo. Naturally it would be with you at the trigger. GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS!!!! Keep it coming. You are nailing it.

Sounded like someone else having fun in the background. Thanks Buffalo !!

in my 457 training rifle, the federal auto match bulk pack ammo is consistently one of the most accurate rounds it shoots, its crazy

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Fine shooting as always!

You're starting to hurt us now Buffalo...a CZ. My, my my! Superb fit, finish, and action. Just the furniture says SOLD!

Nice!

The 40gr Federal ammo bulk pack shoots damn well out of my 10/22

Once that barrel warms up those groups come together. Great rifle btw

Ohhhhh getting fancy with your sliding overlay skills. Great vid 👍

Nice shooting.

What you found out is the same as I did years ago. If you don’t like spending $25 dollars a box for 22 target ammo. With a little extra work you can make less costly ammo shoot small consistent groups for a lot less money. Every 22 rifle likes or shoots better with ammo that has a certain size rim thickness. If all the rims measure 0.43 inches most likely that makes them do better. If they all weigh the same in weight that ups the accuracy too. The ones that have variations in rim thickness and weight make decent practice ammo. If you take the time to put them in boxes and mark the boxes with their size and weight they shoot better too. I went to shooting matches and winning or losing was just a one point difference. I didn’t have the best rifle made or the best ammo. I wasn’t the best shot either. All I did; was use the things I could afford and make them better with a little more work. I ended up close to the top and won some matches too. It isn’t always who has the most money or fancy shooting irons that win. It is better to have the best knowledge of what you can afford than spending money on things you don’t understand; thinking it makes you shoot better. These things only matter if you want them too; I will tell you this; they do work and make a difference.

Wow, the bulk federal did better than i thought it would! i’m going to test some bulk myself now with my MTR. i have winchester white box 555 and federal automatch on hand. hmmm ;) great video, thanks.

from my 10/22 result was terrible on same distance same ammo, impressed

I have always found the Federal Champion bulk pack ammo to be the most accurate and reliable bulk pack 22LR ammo. It also shoots pretty clean for rimfire ammo. At least, that’s my experience with it in my 22s. Of course, not all 22s like the same loads.

That's a very nice rifle.

Some great shooting Buffalo and another fine video. 👏👍

Wow - not bad!

Thank you so much! You have my subscribe. Greetings from Croatia 👌🏻

That's a very nice rifle

awesome buffalo i use either federal or cci those work best for me but honestly anything is better than nothing anymore

That exact box was always the best bulk you could buy imo, as far as accuracy/consistency is concerned- leagues better than say Rem Thunderbolts. But the last box of them I bought within the past year or so, I had about 10 duds out of about every 100 shots (bad primers) and they were very inconsistant like Thunderbolts tend to be; some clearly had more pop than others. Then I remembered that Fedral/CCI was aquired by ATK/Vista Outdoors and quality went to crap afterwards, so it made sense. I had the CCI Stinger squib load that destroyed my TX22 in my curse heavy review of it (sorry), then the very next box of Federals I bought performed nothing like they used to. I'm afraid these brands we used to rely on are no longer what they once were. I would say I hope they can resurrect the quality issues and bring a quality product back to the table like they used to, but I have pretty much already sworn off of their brands due to the way I was treated by their customer service when I called about the squib, namely by being called a liar. I'm assuming this box you have here in the video is a couple years old? All I know is I'm not the only one, because a lot of people have come forward on my videos partaining to it sharing their experience with bad ammo from CCI as well. I didn't really say much about Federal in the videos, but they are basically the same company. Anyway, sorry for the long winded comment Buffalo. That box you got there performed very well for bulk. I would be curious to see Thunderbolts if you have any, because I got money on them being worse lol. Also, as I'm sure you're aware, the difference between bulk and match will be much more apparent at 100 yards. So I ponder if you will try bulk & match at 100 when you are done with the 50 yard series, just to show where the steep price tag for match starts to pay off...

I’ve been in the market for a bolt .22 LR. This might have to be the one, great video. Subbed

Great video buffalo. I shoot a lot of the federal auto match. 40g lead round nose. Accurate stuff for bulk ammo.

That's what i like none of the pick your best group kind of deal. That federal bulk is actually a very consistent lot. Good shooting no bias no pk your best group and edit.

There's virtually no ammo around my area. I reluctantly shot a few mags through my new 1911. Can't wait for it to return to normal.

you got that right. I remember selling baggies of 22lr in 100 round lots to desperate people for 10 cents a round, so, loaded up , and am shooting rimfire exclusively since April.

That sure is a nice setup there Buffalo! I "tried" something similar on the farm (rickety old table for a bench), target in front of a tree, and chrono in front of the rifle. But I'd neglected to "properly" line up the chrono, taking into consideration the scope view was "above" the barrel. Very first shot with my 223 blew the ass end out of the chrono :(

I was at Whittaker's yesterday and they had the eley 10x and one other target grade .22 lr ammo. A box of 50 cost about what that 1 box of bulk pack cost when in stock. I think for the cost difference the bulk pack did quite well. Also, the Federal bulk pack seems to be the best across all .22s I have ever run it in. Maybe not the best for that particular gun, but it seems all guns like it well enough that it is just about the only thing I buy in .22 lr ammo anymore.

I just bought a couple of Winchester M22 1000rnd boxes of 22lr at Walmart. They where $49. I’ve never shot that ammo before but I was told it’s pretty good, and I couldn’t pass up all that 22lr starting me in the eyes lol. Thanks for the video as alway!

I say that's real good groups, Thank you for your video

Thanks for your ammo tests I have a cz457 and I found the 325 round bulk federal auto match shoots pretty respectable groups compared to the federal ammo you used but it’s 1200 fps so a little closer to subsonic also if you get a chance try the Norma tac 22 it’s 1100fps it’s about the same as the sk ammo really good groups sub moa at 50yds. Keep up your videos thanks

That's what I expected. The industrial process improved to a point that bulk is not as bad as used to be. I know these days you shoot what you have, but I suggest Lapua Center-X and perhaps Midas+. My CZ really likes them, even better than SK.

I think CZ makes the best 22lr rifles. Best old school feel. A little expensive for a 22lr but you get what you pay for!

That stuff is definitely minute-of-critter. Haven't shot any bulk pack ammo in my MTR yet.

I'm surprised but then again it's a CZ with Buffalo behind it...explains alot. You have me looking for your exact rifle as I'm typing this comment. I've never seen bulk pack 22lr shoot so accurate! Happy Holidays brother and hope all is well with you & your's!👍🙏✝️🇺🇸🦅💪

Great test Sir through a proper rifle, I would be very curious to see what weighing the rounds with powder scales would do, I have that feeling things would really tighten up! Thanks Brother

man that gun just shoots! I bet it would even make remington thunderbolt look good lol

color me impressed
