hello
i have just installed a mach 2 kit on my 10/22. now where is the cheapest place to get the 17hm2 ammo. any suggestions would be helpfully also how many brands are ther to choose from. and what is considered a case lot on the 17hm2? with 22lr its 5000 but from what i have seen it looks like 2000 for the 17hm2.
thanks
also is it just a 17grain bullet or is there others? brands i know of are eley, hornandy and cci and maybe remington? i might just get a case of each brand that i find?

  Your best bet is to buy a box of any you can find until you figure out what brand your rifle likes, and go from there.....

  As far as bullet selection for the HM2, 17gr is it! You can however safely shoot the 17Aquila in a HM2 chamber, the 17Aquila comes in 20gr.
  
  I wouldn't get a case of each brand first, maybe a few boxes but why have a case of ammo your rifle might not like. I have had the best luck out of Eley compared to Hornady and CCI. Accuracy in my single shot New England is about the same with Eley and Hornady but the Eley allows me more shots before the barrel starts to accumulate too much powder fouling.
  
  I have been buying all my ammo for mine from MidwayUSA. They are always throwing Eley on sale for around $4.00/50rds. It is hard to find much vary in price for Hornady ammo since they do have the cartridge name locked in.
