CMP ELEY bulk

First topic message reminder :

I am well into my case of the Eley bulk 22LR i purchased last year.
I have checked CMP E store and this ammo is no longer listed as we all know.
I am wondering if anyone knows if this ammo will be offered again from CMP?
At $355/case delivered it is a good mid priced ammo.

Thanks, G

From the kind ladies at the CMP... I must say their customer service has gotten a lot better in recent years...

Good morning,

I do believe the ammo that is on our website is Armscor USA (standard) so it will be made in the USA. They also make a Armscor PRECISION that is made in the Philippines. If I can do anything else for you, please let me know.



Thank you,

Did they happen to hint at when the Eley Bulk would be back in stock?

I emailed that question and never got an answer.

CMP indicates that they don't know when, or even IF they will be getting more eley in... now it's decision time...

Based on that update, I ordered 2 cases.  $810 shipped for 10k.  If it functions, then I've got viable practice ammo and can save my better ammo for matches.  As my mentor says, most rimfire ammo will hold the X at 25 yards.  If it doesn't work in my guns, I can sell it at a gun show or online to anyone looking for cheap rimfire ammo.  Most guys that are plinking don't have the ammo concerns that match guns require.

I have used Armscor 22 in the past. It worked well in my Kart conversion.  Your mileage may vary in your 22.

Just a heads up, it will probably take a while to receive ammo ordered from the CMP. I ordered some Eley Target two months ago and still haven't got it yet. I emailed them ( email seems to be the best way to reach them) and I was told they were about 8-10 weeks behind on shipping orders. Just thought I would let people know.

Same here.  I ordered 5 bricks of Eley on Jan 21.  It's still showing as processing - the same as when I placed my order.

I just checked, they are currently shipping orders placed the 2nd week of January. So that's 11 weeks out

Thank you,

Just an FYI.  I did a search with the SKU listed on the CMP store (50012PH).  It came up on Target Sports USA, which lists it as, "Armscor Precision 22 Long Rifle Ammo 40 Grain Standard Velocity Solid Point." (Emphasis added).  The photo of the box says Armscor USA (versus made in Philippines).  Reviews are mixed.

And just got an second email from CMP the armscore was made in the Phillipines...

Looks pretty hot for pistol.

Eley Bulk CMP is back, sort of 

https://estore.thecmp.org/Catalog/Item/4C22ELYCNTCBRCK

It's now 300 packs, it's now 42 grain and now $62.95/300 or $0.21 round

The old stuff was $355/case of 5000, or $0.071 round

Meh

Different stuff.

The old was Eley USA

Most interesting that they're selling 42 grain, since CMP rulebook says:

4.4.2 .22 Rimfire Pistol Ammunition Rimfire Pistol competitors may use only .22 cal. rimfire long rifle ammunition with bullets weighing not more than 40 grains.

I guess 42 is ok for CMP rifle

I asked about that. Action pistol for better “clangs” on reactive targets shot 2-handed at close targets.

I found a brick of Armscore Precision SV a few years ago at the local muzzleloader store.  Marked 'made in Philippines'. It was not accurate.  I don't recall function.  Overall disappointing. 
There is one part box left.

Amascor stuff is not bad , One FTF out of about 15000 rounds. Eley is more accurate.
