Best ammo for Ruger 10/22?

[ocabj]

Eley Semi-Auto Benchrest Precision. I was getting consistent SD of under 5 in a 10/22 with 10-shot aggregates.



( Use youtube chapters to find the external ballistics data rundown )

Only issue I had at first is that I was getting some failures to feed. But in later range sessions, it wasn't an issue. Most likely because I actually cleaned the action.

The 'best' .22 LR ammo for any firearm is what works 'best' in that firearm. In other words, while some general statements will hold true, there is just no way to point to any particular brand or type of ammo and say... "THIS is it, period."

As an example, I like CCI Velocitors 'the best' out of a scoped, bolt action CZ 452. They consistently produce under 1" with a stock trigger and a second-hand Burris scope at 50 yards, more than accurate enough for squirrels. Second choice for that same rifle would be CCI Mini-Mags where the group size is marginally larger, but the ammo is less expensive. Yet, in an unscoped CZ 452, my first choice is the Mini-Mags, with no need to 'experiment' with other options. In other words, the scope allows the Velocitors to exceed the off-hand capability of the Mini-Mags, but doesn't make a meaningful difference with just the Mini-Mags.

With a 10/22? What vintage? A mid-1980's vintage shot Stingers just fine and a newer version likes the Aguila's well enough that they have become my second highest round count in terms of available supply. But, if I had to choose just one round, it would be the Mini-Mag HP's. However, truth be told, any of the 'bulk' stuff will work in a pinch, especially Winchester, whether for plinking or squirrels. You just have to accept that there are going to be a few... duds.

In short, when it comes to what works in a 10/22, I haven't met much which doesn't. What works better tends toward the CCI stuff, primarily from the standpoint of consistency. What works best is very much dependent upon the individual firearm and the lot of ammo.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll try the brands mentioned and probably avoid the hyper ammo for now.

Best ammo for a 10-22 would be ammo you shoot in a Marlin,LOL

Kidding you aside..I use CCI Mini Mags and CCI SV in all my .22s, great ammo that is short of target ammo of course..But the best off the shelf ammo I have ever found..

Stingers are a waste of money, unless you are forced to carry a .22 for SD for some odd reason....They may be an option there..

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

Still shooting bricks of 22 ammo I bought 30 years ago---mostly Remington Golden Bullets and CCI Blazers for $8-10 a brick---my two 10-22s eat most anything as does my Nylon 66 and an old Belgium made Browning SA-22...

1982 Ruger 10/22 with a 4x Tasco $10 scope at 25 yards:





With this gun the Automatch stuff works as well or better than the CCI Stdandard Velocity

YMMV

[Wordupmybrotha]

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

I'm not the only one experiencing epic duds from AutoMatch.
