That GM ammo is not cheap. If you are looking for standard velocity ammo, I would suggest that you try to find some CCI Standard Velocity which sells for $25/brick (10 50-ct boxes) at Dicks and try those. They cycle well in most semi-autos and have typically better accuracy than regular mini-mags.

CCI Mini-Mags are cheaper than that at Walmart (plastic 100 ct boxes).

What exactly are you looking for in 22 ammunition? What are you using it for? Is your gun a rifle or handgun? We need some help here...

If you are just plinking, most buy bulk packs and blast away. If you have a few jams or fail to fires, you eject or clear them and keep on shooting.

As far as accuracy goes, most try out a lot of different types of ammo and see how it both shoots and functions in their gun.
