Thread: Favorite .22 round

My S&W 2206 is quite happy with the CCI Blazer LR, although it seems to be dirtier than the Minimag. My Ruger 10/22 will start jamming on anything dirtier than Minimag, but it's got a match barrel on it so it's less tolerant in regards to ammo. If your gun is happy with ammo that is readily available (and cheap), then you are blessed. I have been happy with my Butler Creek magazines, much less so with the Ramline (aka Jamline) offerings.

Ramline started off as a nice product (gosh... probably mid-to-late 1980's), but they got cheap and the quality went downhill fast. Jamline was certainly correct with the later models of their magazines.

I agree with the others that my Ruger 10/22 (doesn't everyone have at least one of these? ) will fire just about anything. Well, with the exception of low-velocity rounds, of course, but I have an old single shot I occasionally use those in. I really like the high-velocity ones with the Ruger - I've never had any problems with stovepipes or anything of the sort, and they make a nice, reassuring *crack* when you fire.

Blazer is fine for just going off to shoot off a whole bunch of rounds. I think I had some for my Glock with aircraft aluminum casings? Worked fine, especially if, like me, you don't reload.

I've got a couple of .22's, and one bullet I've enjoyed using (and I've forgotten the name - it's been a while) was a long-range cartridge, with a somewhat hollow-point bullet. They were designed to have more power, too, and packed a bit more grain.

I sighted in the scope so well on one of my rifles that I could put these precisely through a critter's eye and then blow apart the opposite side of its head. Gosh, it's remarkably less gruesome when you're actually doing it and not typing it. Hmph. But rest assured, these animals were all evil.

I've shot the pump-action rifles you speak of, and they're a lot of fun. Peep sight?
