Best ammo for Ruger 10/22?

[Starslinger]

I just bought a Ruger 10/22 Talo M1 Carbine edition and this is actually my first .22lr rifle. I'd prefer to pick one type of ammo and stick with it for awhile so that the point of impact doesn't shift. Perhaps hyper velocity because...why not? CCI Stingers are good, right? What about Aguila hyper velocity HP? It's mainly for plinking but I'd like to think of it as a survival rifle too just in case. I suppose I should test a few boxes of ammo before ordering some by the case. How about a Top Five list of the best types of ammo for the Ruger 10/22? Thanks for any help!

My (2) Ruger 10/22 eats pretty anything non stop. Aguila is my personal favorite.

I have tried many (including some $20/50 stuff) and recommend CCI Standard Velocity for accuracy, CCI Blazers for plinking, and CCI MiniMag 36gr hollowpoints for hunting. Hyper velicity is generally a waste of money, and it's hard on the action.

Mine eat everything I feed them. There is the occasional FTF but that's .22 ammo for ya.

winchester superx is my go to standard if something has problems with that it will have problems with anything

the first thousand rounds out of mine was remington thunderbolt i bought at k mart for $8 a brick

Fed my 10-22 1000's of Remington 36gr hollow points and CCI Mini-Mags. Enjoy your new rifle.

Another vote for Aguila. They've been selling it at Big 5 for similar prices as pre-C19 days lately when you catch it on sale.

Thanks guys!

CCI minimag is the gold standard of 22 ammo. I couldn't tell the difference in point of impact between hollow point or solid.

Besides CCI, my next choices would be Blazers and Aguila.

Federal Automatch sucks. I'd rather use Remington or Federal Champion instead.

HV works great in finicky .22 handguns, just go with standard velocity .22

CCI, Armscor, Federal, Aguila...

I agree with all of this. You can’t beat CCI for affordable quality, but I would suggest using the Stingers and other hyper velocity ammo in a lever action so you don’t beat up the bolt too much on your 10/22.

Federal Automatch sucks.

You have better luck than me, because I consistently get duds and poor accuracy with them.

I bought thousands of them during the Obama ammo shortage when I used to check the Walmart inventory daily and drove there before sunrise to get what I could. But beggars couldn't be choosers back then.
