The purchase of ammunition has been a hassle for a while. The best tried-and-true ammunition lines are being expanded or brought back in 2022. Remington, Berger, Federal, Winchester, and many other ammunition producers will be able to more closely customize ammunition to the kind of hunting, competition, and casual shooting that rifle owners partake in as their production levels rise.

Many shelves are empty as a result of supply chain problems, a lack of raw materials, and the continuous rise in first-time gun purchasers. Although it is impossible to foresee the future with absolute certainty, overall, 2022 appears to be a stronger year for ammunition than 2021. So here is useful information about the best ammunition you can get in 2022.

AR-15 Calibre 5.56 And .223 Ammo

Two common calibers are available for the standard AR-15: 5.56x45mm NATO and.223 Remington. While the 5.56 is a military round with its own specifications that may call for a higher pressure for better velocity, the.223 is a civilian round with SAAMI specs. Physically, the two cartridges are the same, although the 5.56 round might be loaded to a higher pressure.223 ammo.

Look at the product specifications or physically inspect your barrel, which should be branded with the caliber and barrel twist rate.

Fiocchi Ammo

Using an 18 g/cc tungsten shot, Fiocchi Fiocchi's Golden Turkey TSS loads deliver dense patterns, deep penetration, and long-range performance. It's best to utilize the right ammunition due to the variations in barrel machining and ammo production standards. Shot sizes No. 7 or No. 9 are available for the 3-inch 12-gauge loads. 1,200 fps is the muzzle velocity. No. 9 shot is used in the 3-inch 20-gauge loads.

1,225 fps is the muzzle velocity. No. 9 shot is also used in the three-inch 410 ammo bore loading. 1,100 fps is the muzzle velocity. Each is offered in boxes of five.

HORNADY CX Bullets

The new bullet will be offered in 10 Hornady Superformance loads in 6.8mm Rem SPC and 300 BLK, 18 Outfitter loads in.243 Win too.375 H&H Magnum, and 10 Superformance loads in.223 Rem too.300 Win Mag. The CX bullet is made of the same copper alloy as the GMX bullet, but the CX also incorporates Hornady's Heat Shield polymer tip, which resists deformation due to contact with the air, and a modified boat-tail design.

When combined with Hornady's secant ogive gives it a high ballistic coefficient. The invention of the CX bullet and its application in numerous Hornady ammunition lines is the company's biggest news this year. Additionally, CX has an ideal groove geometry that lowers pressure on the bearing surface and in the chamber. Additionally, the grooves aid in minimizing copper alloy fouling in the bore.

Nosler Hunting Bullets

Four different calibers of ASP ammo are available from Nosler: .40 S&W (150 and 180 grain), 10mm (180 grain), and.45 ACP (230 grain). For the 9mm and.45 ACP, subsonic loads will be available, along with ASP component bullets. Some of the most recognizable hunting bullets in the business, including as the Accubond, Partition, and Ballistic Tip, were created by Nosler.

The business is now hopeful that its new ASP (Assured Stopping Power) projectile will become the industry standard in the defense-bullet market. The ASP bullet's only focus throughout the design was to neutralize threats. The jacketed hollow point has skives that start expanding at various impact velocities in order to achieve this.

The jacket aids in weight retention, which generates a significant amount of hydrostatic shock that is sent to the target.

CCI .312 Bullets

Blazer will provide 50-round boxes of 115-grain FMJ 30 Super Carry ammo in 2022. It has top-notch reloadable brass cases and has a muzzle velocity of 1,150 feet per second, making it an effective and reasonably priced training load for the brand-new 30 Super Carry cartridge. The big news from Blazer, a sub-brand of CCI, is the introduction of a fresh 30 Super Carry cartridge load, a round designed for personal defense by Federal, CCI's sister business.

This cutting-edge round, which uses a bullet with a .312-inch diameter, provides terminal performance that is comparable to that of a 9mm Luger but with higher capacity. Blazer Brass Lead-Free Clean-Fire 9mm pistol ammunition is also brand-new. The bullets and primers in these 100-grain flat-nose rounds are lead-free.

Sub-X Subsonic .350 Ammo

Hornady is expanding its Sub-X Subsonic ammunition lineup with a new 250-grain .350 Legend load. It is made for close-range hunting with long-barreled handguns or suppressed rifles. This bullet's meplat expansion tip, skived jacket, and lead core ensures good expansion on game animals, and its weight, which is substantial for the caliber, aids in ensuring excellent penetration.

7mm Remington Magnum Remington Core-Lokt

Remington Core-Lokts are among the most traditional cartridges available, not the least of which is their current low price. You get the traditional 150-grain Core-Lokt rounds in this 7mm Rem. Mag. You will be able to get your hands on this ammunition for a pretty much fair price.

HEVI-Shot New Ammunition

HEVI-Hammer Dove and HEVI-Hammer Upland loads are further new products from HEVI-Shot. These shotshells provide 50% more energy at 40 yards than conventional steel shots, thanks to the usage of pellets composed of 15% bismuth (with a density of 9.64 g/cc) and 85% steel. This leads to more reliable kills, even at great distances. Late last year, HEVI-Shot unveiled their tungsten waterfowl load, the HEVI-XXII.

As the name suggests, these non-toxic shotshells use premium tungsten shot, which is 53.8% denser than steel shot with a density of 12 g/cc. Because of this, HEVI-XXII produces more energy with smaller shot sizes than steel, and a smaller shot translates into more pellets and better terminal and penetrating ballistics. There will be 12- and 20-gauge HEVI-XXII ammunition available with No. 2, No. 4, or No. 6 shot sizes in loads weighing between 7/8 and 11/4 ounces.

With velocities between 1,350 and 1,500 fps, this load is fatal to waterfowl. Both 12- and 20-gauge 3-inch shells with No. 3 or No. 5 shots are available for HEVI-Hammer Upland, while 12- and 20-gauge 3-inch shells with No. 7 shots are available for HEVI-Hammer Dove.
