Browning Buckmark Countour Ammo

[Bizob]

I just put a Browning Buckmark Contour in 10 day jail yesterday. I'm relatively new to handguns and purchased my fist handgun in January, a Sig 226, and love going to the shooting range and was looking for a more economical way to enjoy the sport. LAX Ammo had a sale on Remington 22LR Golden Bullets 40gr for $6.99/100 rounds so I snagged 10 boxes. Does anyone have any experience with this ammo in the Buckmarks and how it's runs or does anyone have any better suggestions?

Buckmarks will eat anything you feed them, at least mine do.
Use what ever you can find for plinking, for accuracy Standard velocity ammo like CCI, or target grade will do.

I shot couple K of Rem Golden ammo on Buckmark Contour, no problem at all. Furthermore, my Buckmak Contour eats any kind of bulk ammo.
(Note for first time field strip the Buckmark Contour: The recoil spring may 'pop' when you remove it, and then after that, just a piece of cake).

I've had zero problems with any .22 in my Buckmark!

GB should be fine in a Buckmark.
Plan on a dirtier gun though.

I like CCI at a bit higher price.

If you disassemble the barrel to clean, loctite the two upper barrel screws after, they tend to loosen.

Borrow from GAVR :If you disassemble the barrel to clean, loctite the two upper barrel screws after, they tend to loosen

OP, just do it and don't ask why.

Winchester hollow point FTF

The hollow points with the large hole and are flat across the top caused several FTFs The lead round nose worked fine.
