Norma TAC 22 on sale

First topic message reminder :

$299.95 shipped except tax if you live in PA. I took a winger despite reading mixed reviews and ordered a case. https://rivertownmunitions.com/product-category/rimfire/22lr/

Another site, not quite as cheap, actually has different lot numbers to choose from. Seeing as I have no basis to pick lot numbers, I went with the cheapest. https://ravenrocksprecision.com/tac-22-40gr-22-long-rifle-ammo-updating/?sku=AM-R-NORM-TAC22-41RS21-5000

Bought a Nelson conversion, so I thought I would try TAC 22 in that. 3 out of 5 rounds jammed half way into the chamber. Had to use my dowel rod to push them back out. 50 rounds of Aguila SV went through after that perfectly.

TAC 22 absolutely does not like me!

Dang that positively sucks... I would lose (what is left of) my mind.

If I hadn't decided to pick up another case, I'd offer to take them off your hands. In fact the next time I shoot I will run a couple boxes from the new shipment which has a different lot number.

Would you mind sharing the Lot Number on your ammo?

I am finding that it is a "box by box" issue with my High Standard 107. One box will run fine, and then the next box has constant issues.

I'll post the lot number for the box that wouldn't run in my Nelson in a while when I dig it back out. It was from a freshly opened brick that I bought a year or so ago.

I have used Norma TAC22 in my Pardini SP, Hämmerli 208S and Marvel conversion without issue. I have gone through about a case and a half. Quite a few shooters at my club have switched to Norma TAC22 with good results. One shooter with a newer Walther found it didn't have quite enough ump to bring the bolt back far enough to pick up the next round. No one at our club has had an issue with duds.

It’s still on sale at PSA for $2.99/50 box……yippee!! Norma TAC 22 on sale - Page 2 1883569342

Okay shot two boxes from the second case that I purchased (100 rounds): 75 in my Marvel conversion and 25 in my HS Victor. Ran flawlessly... too bad my shooting wasnt as up to par LOL. Both the first and second lots were manufactured in mid-2023. Don't have the lot number of the second case, but it was maybe June? 2023.

At $3 per box, delivered, I'm loving this stuff. Hope it works well for others.

Lot # is not printed on the box. It is printed on the pull tab used to open the box.

FYI, the black box TAC-22 (older) is 1100fps and the red box TAC-22 (newer) is 1083 fps.

by DA/SA 10/14/2024, 8:59 pm

Black box is excellent, just haven't had any luck with red box.

No other numbers (inked or embossed) anywhere on or inside of the individual boxes or the larger box holding the 500 rounds that I can see.

Where are you finding that number?

by shanneba 10/15/2024, 10:12 am

I have a couple boxes of Norma Match 22 LR that has the lot number pressed into the end flap.

Hard to see unless the light hits it just right.

OK!

53OR41, possibly 53QR41

Thank You!!

Okay if a rimfire central post is correct, R = 2022. The O or Q is May or July. My cases are summer 2023.

Makes me wonder if there was a plant turnaround (or whatever they call it in that industry) in between years.

I bought a case and tried some since the local outdoors shop had it 10% off. I first ran it through my Nelson and it would not feed with the plastic Nelson magazines. I use the steel 22 magazines from my Marvel and the ammo runs flawless. just don't have the hold open with the steel mags I have. My High Standard runs and shoots like a dream with this TAC22.

Everything I've shot this ammo in groups just as well as CCI Standard vel.

by RodJ 11/14/2024, 8:06 am

Welp, after running through about 4 bricks I finally got an honest to God dud. Good primer strike in my HS Victor. It fired when I rechambered it. This has been great practice ammo in my Ruger Mk ii, Victor, and Marvel.

Yesterday I found it on sale again for $323 for a case, delivered… I could not help myself… FedEx is supposed to deliver it tomorrow. ammunitionstore.com

Buen provecho!

Tac 22 has been very good in my 208s. My only complaint is how greasy they are, oiling up the fingers while reloading. Accuracy and reliability have been fine, and they have slightly more felt recoil than Aguila std velocity.

by RodJ 11/14/2024, 11:37 am

JH, good to know and glad to hear that. It's regularly available cheaper than Aguila or CCI SV and virtually no hiccups.

I have been fantasizing about a 208 or 215 but i gotta get above marksman first. I think I'm finally shooting at a SS level during range practice. But as someone said "In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not." Hope to shoot well in a coming match to test my mettle.

by BE Mike 11/14/2024, 2:10 pm

Is CCI Standard Velocity that bad, now? I see that I can buy it for around $3.21/ box at AmmoSeek.

by RodJ 11/15/2024, 11:46 am

Mike, I don’t know what people’s experience has been lately but a year or so ago, a buddy had a terrible batch of CCI SV. I thought there was something wrong with his gun, but nope. He got a lot of ball and dummy practice. I encouraged him to call CCI but he didn’t.

It would be great to find out recent experience and would love to learn that CCI is good to go. I had a topic post asking a while back, can’t recall that there was a consensus.
