[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Favorite .22lr round (Page 1 of 2)

I have to go with CCI mini mag solids. They work good in everything i've shot them in. 40 grain 1235fps |
|
I have a number of 22 caliber toys. I prefer the velocitors in each and every one. They are quite similar to the mini mag, with a good bit more umph. Just as accurate too. But the real reason I like em so much is that they never fail, jam, stovepipe or act up in any way. Plus the extra stopping power is clearly evident. They are full 40 grain rounds too. The case is the proper length also, unlike stingers which have slightly longer cases (at least they used to).
Velocitors will always cycle properly too. Franklin PS, CCI Velicotors (183 Lb/ft energy) and Agulia Interceptors (193 Lb/ft energy) both crono exactly the same out of my guns. Forget the specs, they are, for all comparisons, exactly the same. With the CCI being more consistent. |

Good lord, that has to some of the worst shit ever!!!!
Remington Thunderbolt After a few hundred rounds there will be more lead left in the barrel than goes down range. I got it cheap and it works well. 
I got it cheap too, about 5 years ago. It's about as easy to rid of as the clap or a Dodge.

CCI Mini-Mags are the bomb... Remingtons suck. +1 Just shot my new P22 and I had some bulk Remington Golden bullets, and about every clip had an empty case get stuck in the bore and the extractor wouldn't grab it. Soon as i started shooting cheap Federal bulk no more problems. |

My savage groups well with Winchester T22 target, it runs subsonic. It does fair with Aguila Super Colibris, and pretty good with the mini-mags.
I've got a brick or two of Wildcats around here for an old monkey ward repeater too. It likes them best. They're all different. Some more finicky than others. |

I guess we've had some different experiences with our Remington .22 ammo. I've always had luck getting rid of it through the process of firing it downrange! |

CCI Mini-mags are tops. But in terms of cheaper ammo, the CCI Blazer aint bad. Here is 10,000 rounds of it.
$180 per 5000 from Sportsmansguide. I am trying to talk myself out of a third case. They are backordered till the end of April on the 5000 round cases. Is this ammo Lead Round Nose -or- Copper Coated? |

Win T22. Best accuracy for the money. I shot the most cleans with it in practice. I USED to get it for $18 per 500. Way back when, Chestnut Ridge ran it at $12/500. Jackpot. It's not an overly appreciated round on arfcom, I figured I just got lucky with the stuff. Nice to see another fan. |
