Gun Owners?

I find my buckmark and 10/22 prefer ammo of at least 1100 fps. Weaker stuff like Colibri won't cycle a semi-auto. Weaker ammo won't push the bolt back far enough for proper cycling.
Federal and CCI make 1200 fps .22's that's cheap.
My 10/22 does not like non-ruger magazines. Some don't care but mine is picky.

Thanks - was thinking perhaps also the profile of the projectile may have something to do with it. Will try some reasonably warm ammo and dial it back.

Fingers crossed it works - Last match I had to retire since I could not participate in the 10sec series..

I'm with Adidas. I have a Walther P22, and the ONLY thing that will shoot out of it is CCI. Never had one single problem with them...but it's getting harder to find the copper jacket .22 that it really likes. It's a fickle gun, but I like it. My .22 rifle on the other hand, well that will shoot dirt if I prime it right! lol.

Noticing the special cabinet I built is out of room...need more gun slots!

double post... stupid friggin touchpad/mouse thingy on laptop!!

a lot of semis of whatever brand ... dont like subsonics, low power target stuff, colibri?-forget it! ..

some can be adjusted internally with the springs/slides/rings etc to accept lighter loads...

....

if you want hyper accuracy with low power loads... use a bolt action!

... not knocking semis.. especially the awesome 10/22 !!! ... but you have to feed them the right 'food' ! 

.. teflon spray has also been experimented with on various actions to help with low friction movement for lower power ammo... done right it is somewhat effective ...

Hey addy.... just asking.... when you say your 10/22 doesn't like Ruger magazines, are you referring to the square one that sits in and flush with the stock or...?

Tested Honardy Vmax in my 17HMR against the equivalent CCI. The Hornady gave tighter groups. At only a dollar or two more for a box of 50 I think it's worth it.

Tested 10 or more different pellets in each of my airrifles. 22 and 177 both prefer JB Exacts.

I was saying my Ruger 10/22 likes ONLY Ruger magazines.
It hates Butler Creek. It kind of like Champion magazines.
never a misfeed with real Ruger magazines. The lips are not the same as Champion or Butler Creek.

"My 10/22 does not like non-ruger magazines."

'most' of them dont like other mags....

i found it easy enough to just carry a couple extra 10shot mags in my jacket pocket... if i absolutely had to use that much ammo quickly!! ..

... for the general population... you dont need a 30 or 50 round magazine!! ... what you need is to 'miss' less!!

Have got my hands on som CCI "Blazer" from a mate - will give it a go - apparently designed to feed through anything really well.

Profile of the projectile is more tapered and it is supersonic - fingers crossed for a succesful weekend plink...

[Janx101]

Just keep an eye on particulate buildup with the blazer ... Mostly it's fine .. Occasional 'dirty' production runs/part runs in the past ... Builds up around the throat a little quicker

[Kiwingenuity]

Cheers for the heads up - I know the Remington ammo isnt the best for particulates either..

Thankfully the FN is a whole heap easier to strip than a MK II Ruger...

74.99 for 1500 rnds of Remington bucket o bullets of .22 hollow point at my local

Real Luger by Stoeger. So old it has "Patents Pending". SN# 9733
Grips look like plastic. They are superbly checkered real wood.

that IS nice checkering!! 

[adidasguy]

I found these were made in the late 70's until about 1983. Pretty cool - very retro WW-II style. I'll try it out Monday at the Roger Dahl range a few blocks from me.

[mister]

That is one nice looking 22 pistol.

I reckon everyone should own a 22 pistol. A Ruger Mark 3 Standard should do nicely  ...

[slipperymongoose]

I used to shoot a mates ruger .22 alot. It was fun. Specially doing IPSC style matches

[yamahonkawazuki]

Had an old luger back in the day as well as a broomhandle mauser. And a walther p1 aka a p38. Not counting my glock 21, were the best shooting german guns ive owned at one point. Cant really count the glock, its austrian. But i guess i could count it too lol
